YAY for SPRING!!

I don't know about yall, but I'm SUPER glad Spring has started showing up! :)
Flowers are blooming, Birds are Chirping, & Me and my Camera are just JUMPING up and down to get out and get to "shootin", hehe!!!

With that said, I just wanted to post a little note to all my Blog Readers who are insterested in a Spring Session. My Saturdays in April are GONE!! That's right, booked up! With weddings, and portraits both booking, they were gone in a hurry ;) So, I am going to be booking more Weekdays now. Some of my Sunday afternoons are available, but I am really hoping to leave some of those open to spend time with Dan and Kate!

So, if you're interested in an April appt., please, please, please get with me so we can get you a day booked. Weekdays are pretty open right now with a few exceptions, & most session times will probably start at about 5:30pm. So, head on over to my website @ www.stephaniebryan.com and check out my calendar and see if you can find a few days that might work for you!

I'm sooooo looking forward to the warm weather and some FUN photo sessions! So bring on the SUNSHINE!! :)

Miss "J" is almost HERE!!!

I had soooo much fun with Candi and Mr. "J" the day we shot these. :) She's due in a few weeks and I know she's so ready for her precious baby girl to be here!! "J" was such a hoot to hang around...he was cracking me up...his pants kept falling down and Candi would tell him to pull them up and he would do the FUNNIEST little "squat & yank" thing I've ever seen...LOL! We were cracking up at him all the time. At one point he was just like, "I'm done" and started throwing leaves all over his Mom...hehe! It was sooo funny! You'll get to see a few of his funny faces he did in these fav's of mine. We gave Candi's hubby Luke the day off, so you better

watch out bud, family pics will be next, hahahaha!

Thanks to you 2 for spending some time with me and letting me capture some of these memories for you! Now Girl, I NEVER want to hear you say you're not photogenic again ;) You are positively GORGEOUS and VERY photogenic ;)!! I LOVE YA and hope you enjoy these!

What Pretty Freckles & Hair You Have :)

I was going back through some photos that I took at my grandparents right before Fall and I found a few of Kate Kate that I had forgotten about. Her daddy has freckles and she always talks about how she got her freckles from her Daddy :) So, when I ran across these, I couldn't help but play with them, hehe! If any of you know Kate very well, you know that she is known for her HAIR! That girl was born with a head full of jet black hair! The Dr. who delivered her was kidding me before I saw her that she wouldn't need a boggin to go home in...lol...{she was born in late November}. People we see around town here always comment on her hair and alot of the time that's how they remember who she is. We've actually got a couple buddies we see that will give her a $1 and tell her that's so she won't cut her hair...lol. It's really long now, but this 2nd picture was just cute to me...it shows how long her hair was at the time...all the way down to her "oshkosh" tag...hehe!!

I'm so glad Mom shared her love of photography with me...Watching Kate growing up through my images is such a wonderful feeling!

I hope one day she'll love looking back at herself through my eyes. :)

The Handsome Jessie-Boy

How incredibly handsome is my little man? He just melts my heart! This is my nephew Jessie or "Jessie-Boy" as we call him, lol. Kate and Jessie were my first little models on my journey to here :) I took them out over a weekend and just shot pictures all day both days. We had fun in between too of course, but he was super anxious to help "Aunt Moosie", (that's ME to all my nephews & nieces, hehe). I haven't made any pics of him in a while and one day while we were visiting, I just grabbed my camera and took some candids of him while he was being a "boy", lol.
He told me he will model for me again, so we're gonna head out in the next few weeks and do it again :) I just love him to pieces and wanted to feature a few of my favorites from that afternoon with my favorite little guy! Aunt Moosie loves you Jessie-Boy!!



yap, aunt moosie will be getting a huge one of this ;) LOOOVE IT!!!







I know you can't really see all of his face, but this one of him laughing just grabs me :)

Miss "S"...The Birthday Girl!!

Let me start off by warning you that you are more than likely gonna get jaw cramps from grinning at this little miss! :) She is such a hoot and I could hardly stop lauging at her the whole time! Her Mom said she had been talking up having her pics made, so we were sooo super excited when she was all about it...hehe! One minute she was hittin' a pose by poppin her hip out, and the next it was the silliest face followed by the prettiest giggle :) I laughed the entire shoot!
There will definately be another post soon with some of her just doing her funny faces...lol...she's so funny!!!

Mom, you know how much you mean to me...and I'm so glad you asked me to do "Miss Thang's" Birthday Pics! You were my 1st "believer" and you took a chance on me...and for that, I can't say enough words to Thank you for being "you"! We had sooo much fun and I hope you enjoy these!! There are gonna be LOTS, so get ready...hehe!

It's Contest Time :)

We (Stephanie Bryan Photography and Mandy Owens Photography) are working on some joint projects this Spring… mainly because it’s fun, but also because it pushes our creativity to new levels. We need models for these shoots… so we’re going to tell you what we’re looking for, and you tell us if you’re interested in modeling for us. We’ll pick one model for each theme, and notify you when we’ve chosen.

So...What do you get out of the deal?

A FREE photo shoot with two super fun photographers. ;)
AND 20 of our favorite images from the shoot (10 from each of us on CD, with print release).

So what are we looking for?

For our April project, we are looking for an adorable couple to model for us. You need to be a fun couple, with great style, and you need to be very much in love. The date for this project is Tuesday, April 28th, and we’ll start shooting at around 5:30 pm, so make sure that works with your schedule before entering the contest.

For our May project, we need a pregnant model!!! You need to already be showing quite nicely by the time of our shoot, so keep that in mind when entering the contest. The date for this project is Tuesday, May 19th, and shooting will begin around 5:30 pm.

How do you enter?

Just send us a message to:(sbryanphotography@yahoo.com) that says, I WANT TO MODEL IN YOUR PROJECT, and please specify which project your entry is for.

We will notify all entries when we decide on the winner. If you win, pretty much all you’ll need to do is show up… we’ll have the rest planned out.

How do we pick our winner?

We already have some idea of what we’re looking for in each category, but we need to know who is willing to model for us. The willing models will be narrowed down based on what we had in mind, and who we think will fit the bill best, and we’ll select them accordingly.

So are you ready? Start your entries!
