Senior Picture Time! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Photographer

Ok everyone....you have to meet my new friend, Paula! She called me and we did her senior pictures last month. She and her mom came in tonight for her viewing and ordering session and she was soooo happy with them! She is full of spunk and personality and laughed her head off at me the day of the session (those of you who have shot with me know I'm a total klutz and I tripped over everything a million times)! She has since become my buddy and brought me the sweetest thing tonight. It was an angel feather and it had this poem with it that talked about our friendship and how we are kept safe. Very sweet and a nice reminder of our fun time together. She also came out and helped Nathaniel and I with the Halloween fundraiser...so she's just a sweet girl and I'm so glad that she loved her photographs so much! Paula, you are truly beautiful, inside and out! Thanks for finding me! Ok people, without further a do......

Paula's mom really loved this one!

I knew when she whipped out this hat on the day of the shoot that it was going to be a fun session!

Paula thought I was crazy when I told her to lay on the floor, but I knew it would look great! Plus that pink on my lovely girls only backdrop was a sure thing!

Paula loves Hawaii so we tried to capture a bit of that spirit!

Paula is an avid reader! She's actually writing some really funny stuff right now too. Somehow or other I have become one of the characters in one of her books! I will have to share some of the excerpts soon!

Paula, thanks for ROCKING IT OUT! oh....don't forget to post some of your favs to facebook!

Back in Town and Back to Business! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Photographer

Well, I don't know if you have noticed, but there are a lot of changes going on. First of all, we got a new media specialist (everyone say hi to Nate). You might be asked to fan us on facebook or follow us on twitter. You can expect more changes to the website as it is being updated and some awesome deals coming soon (some that involve some very good charities).

Also, we are having an awesome incentive because we want more followers of the blog. People are always asking me if I posted anything new! Then they come to the blog and see several new posts. You can literally receive an alert any time a new post is put on the blog. And for being so fabulous and following the blog....I am offering a $25 studio print credit on your next session. All you have to do is click the "Follow" icon on the left upper corner to follow us and receive your credit (credits remain on file in the studio and they never expire).....and be notified any time we have a new post.

Anyhow, here is Nate in case you see him out and about with me working hard, you can tell him how great he is doing! Thanks!!!!


Nate loves to play the guitar!

Youth Sports Pictures....BluOrchid Style! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Photographer

Who says team sports pictures have to be boring?! I got the chance to take something that is usually a mundane event and put my artistic touch to it recently. If any of you follow me on facebook or twitter, you probably remember my recent trip to N. Carolina to visit my brother, Paul. Well, he volunteered to coach a 14-15 year old baseball league this summer and I got to see him in action. He also knew that my camera is like my other arm and that I would for sure bring it, so he talked me into doing their team photo. My only request was that I get to do it MY WAY! He said he was not driving the team all over Wilmington looking for a fun colored wall! I told him that while I was happy he understood my brain for most sessions, that was not quite what I had in mind! So, we went with something a bit out of the box right there on the ball field. I emailed it over to him and he said it was the coolest team picture he had ever seen (and that is major because that guy never compliments me)! Nothing like the same old thing he got when he was a kid! So, I'm excited to show Marion and the Memphis area that just because it is a standard youth group ballteam photo, does not mean it has to be blah!!!!

That's my brother on the far left! Far cry from the skinny kid that used to play back in the day! haha!

Seniors 2009...do you want to earn $500 without much effort?

I've got a deal for you! If you are interested in becoming a senior ambassador in the Memphis, TN, Jonesboro, Marion, and West Memphis, AR areas, head on over to my website and send me an email. I am looking for one ambassador per school. This person will get a complimentary senior session done by me (BluOrchid Photography)--$90 value. You will get 50 business cards with your photo on them. These cards will be given to your friends and if they schedule a senior session with me and turn the card back in, you earn 10 bucks! Now isn't that easy? It gets better! Your friend will earn 8 free wallets just for turning the card in. You both win. You have the chance to earn $500 (or more if you are really ambitious) without much effort! I will be accepting applications for the senior ambassadors until the end of April but will consider those who apply early first! So head over to www.bluorchidphoto.com to shoot me an email if you are interested!
