Baby Levi! BluOrchid Photography~Marion AR Photographer

So, I am so far behind with blogging....Mr. Levi is about ready for his next session already...and I'm just now getting this one up! Sorry!!!! I'm really going to try to do better! Here are a few of my favs from his session. His mom is a good friend of mine (and my fabulous hair stylist) and she is so crafty. She made this cute little Dr. Suess outfit since Levi's nursery is decorated with Dr. Suess. It was super cute...even had the little tie! Enough chatter....onto the photographs! Enjoy!

Models Needed! BluOrchid Photography~Memphis Senior Photography

Do you have what it takes!? Chandler did....

Hello 2011 High School Seniors! BluOrchid is in need of some senior class members to model for us for the 2011 year. Our main interest at this time is to find senior models for our 2011/12 Marketing Campaign. In addition, we need a few lucky seniors to model for us at a senior photography course that we are teaching this October! This is truly a one of kind experience that you will want to be part of....one of my recent seniors wrote on her application "go big or go home." I thought that was very fitting here in that modeling may not have been something that she initially thought of doing, but after working with us, she found it was really fun and thought, well, why not!?

What's in it for you???
Well, here is what you get*:

• 2 models will be chosen to work with us at the class we are instructing at and have the chance to be pampered all day and have a gazillion senior portraits to show off to friends! More details will be given to the winners when announced.
• All remaining participants will get a free senior sitting session for a modeling package ($120 value)
• 25 stylized star cards to be mailed out to friends who would be interested in a senior session with us ($132 value)
• 5 Myspace/Facebook images ($75 value)
• A really cute T-shirt with our logo ($25 value)

*This is a minimum! More incentives can be earned when we receive referrals from you!

What is expected from you:

• Bring your enthusiasm! It's going to be a fun year!
• All models must prepay for their senior session to qualify for the contest. Our model package is priced at $350. This ENTIRE amount will go towards photographs....your session is FREE! Your senior portraits must be taken before Oct 15, 2010.
• You will be representing and working with us throughout the senior year. Not only will this be a fun experience for you, but it's also an essential tool for us to keep our name out there in front of your friends and peers. We rely on your support throughout the year! Active senior models will definitely be rewarded. Inactive models...not so much! :)
• The 25 Star Cards will feature images from your session and will be mailed out to 25 of your friends that have not yet had their senior portraits taken. We need you to provide the 25 names and addresses. Every time we get a referral from you....you get $50 gift card from us!
• We often need models on short notice to test new backgrounds, practice techniques, etc. Although we don't expect you to drop everything for us, we just want to let you know that this may happen!
• We expect you to collect 25 addresses of junior friends for our mailing database. Of course, your images will be highlighted in these mailing campaigns, as you are our star!!!
• We expect any Facebook and Myspace images that we provide you to be used as the highlight images on your page through your senior year to help promote our business. We must be on your Facebook and Myspace friends list.
• If you are involved in sports, teams, or groups: we expect you to suggest our services to the coordinator for any photography services, such as team pictures, group gifts, dances, etc.
• We expect you to have a great time, feel like a rockstar, and have the best in senior portraits! You'll see that we'll become great friends during your senior year! We are here for you, and expect the same from our models!

If this sounds like the job for you, please continue to the application!

Baby Levi! BluOrchid Photography~Marion AR Photographer

This is one of my really good friends, Ching, and her family. She and Albert were married just last year and little Levi was soon on his way! I was so excited that she wanted me to do his first portraits and now he is a member of our Bebe Collection...so we will be seeing this sweetheart every few months. It was a really fun session because not only did I have his parents there with him to celebrate, but both sides of grandparents were there too! We captured lots of moments for them and I'm proud to show them off for my friend! Thanks so much for letting me be a part of this history in your lives! Here are some of our favorites from the session!

Ching had this super sweet hat and we had the perfect blanket to go with it! I love this shot!

Levi was born near Christmas and Ching is pretty crafty! She made him this little Santa hat to wear! Be the time we did the session, it barely fit his little head! But this cute little expression is just the best!

Perfect timing! Levi looked right up at his grandmother as she was looking at him and I happened to capture it.

Baby John Parker! BluOrchid Photography~Marion AR Baby Photographer

Meet Mr. John Parker. He was a serious one....but I just love that type. The serious babies always have such soulful eyes! He wasn't feeling his best that day, but he sure did give us some major cuteness to work with! This was his 6 month session and we had some fun with my new Teddy Bear set. He rocked that bear hat like there was no tomorrow. We also got a few of him in his little jeans. I love how he looks like he is in time out in the one with him looking up at me. Have a look at a few of my favorites!

Here is the one where he looks like he is in "time out!" I love it!

Marion AR Senior Portraits: Mehgan ~ BluOrchid Photography

Meet Mehgan! She will be one of the awesome seniors graduating from Marion HS this year! She is such a sweetie and was a serious trooper with getting out in the cold for her session. She even wanted to get into the fountains in downtown Memphis...but she was only in there for a second, because it was FREEZING!!!! We had a great time photographing her anyways! Thanks for allowing us to capture this fun time in your life!

Memphis Engagement Photography: Vivian and Rico ~ BluOrchid Photography

This is the lovely Ms. Vivian and her sweetheart Rico. We will be photographing their wedding soon but first we, of course, did their gorgeous engagement portraits. We had a great time with them down at the river and even went to the cheesecake corner in downtown Memphis! I must say, Vivian has excellent taste in cheesecake....and I thought poor Rico was going to have to fight for her attention when she had her eyes on that cake! It's obvious that she loves it! They are such a sweet couple and I'm so excited about the wedding. You will see a hint of what the wedding will look like in their clothes! The colors in their shirts reflect some of the bright, fun colors of the wedding! Here are a few of our favorites! Thanks for letting us capture this special time!

Mr. Bryan! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion Children's Photographer

This is Mr. Bryan. He came to use a couple of years ago and it was time for some new photographs of this little fella! His "Na" (aka his grandmother) was so great to work with. She used all the bribes very appropriately! He was up for a ton of fun. One of his favorite things is his spiderman umbrella...we used that to help us get him having fun for the session. Then we switched gears and he rocked it out for me with his guitar! Last, we headed over and had some beautiful protraits made with him just being a boy! I loved this session...I had to run all over the place...but it was totally worth it! Have a look at some of my favs!
