Watch out, Mom!

This is one member of one of my favorite all time families. I photographed them back in August -here- but just didn't get enough shots of this young man - mom and I really wanted more. So we had another go and oh, my goodness! -all I can say is watch out. Mom has two of the most gorgeous teenagers not to mention how really sweet and wonderful they are. Once they get just a bit older, your house is going to get very busy with young ladies and young gentlemen coming to visit!

So, N, lookin' good, buddy -had a blast taking these pictures. Hope you like these few and we'll get your viewing session scheduled ASAP so you can see the rest!

Beautiful inside and out!

I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet girl recently. Rain was definitely stalking us but the worst we got were some light breezes, slight cloud cover and lower temperature -not so bad really. My gorgeous model was not bothered at all and looked stunning wherever I placed her including in the water. This first shot was made with her in the water at the end of our session when the sun made an appearance for just long enough! Thanks for a great afternoon, A and C! Hope you like these few -there are lots more which you will see very soon!

Also, to let all my wonderful clients and readers know - I will be increasing my prices at the beginning of March, 2008. This is necessary and I don't like doing it but wanted to give you fair warning. Session fees will also go up but if you book before the price increase, I will honor the earlier price even if you schedule your session to take place after March 1, 2008.

A few weeks ago, I posted some pictures of a fun session I had with a senior guy (here). Happily, I got to go back and take pictures of his whole family including an older brother who is very close to graduating from college (yeah! - congratulations). Like many sessions lately, we dodged rain and bright sun - camera settings are indeed a challenge in this situation! - but the family was great and flexible and I was pleased with the pictures. Here are a few to peek at, D and R, before you see them all!

a quick post and another GORGEOUS senior!

My, my... things get busy this time of year! Holiday family sessions are in full swing and the deadlines for senior pictures to be included in high school senior yearbooks is right around the corner. The good news is I have a few- just a very few!- time spots left that will met these deadlines. Call today - right away - if you have been wanting to do pictures but just haven't gotten around to scheduling a session. We will do our very best to work you in.

And now, another fantastic local senior who was just too much fun to work with. I love the edgy look of her photographs and I have never seen anyone who can go from darkly exotic and beautiful to 'girl-next-door' pretty in the short space of an hour! Clothes - excellent, and so was her attitude and willingness to try all kinds of shots. Thanks, M - I had such a great time, hope you're pleased with what we got. Enjoy!

Senior Sneak Peak!!

Another amazing senior session - this time in a new place. This is a large estate, turned restaurant and the grounds and buildings are fabulous! This gorgeous senior, her mom and two golden retrievers and I set out to try out these digs one Saturday afternoon. It was another hot day but all was well- we found a bit of shade every now and then and of course, I love the ones in full sun with her beautiful hair all a glow! This girl's blue eyes are quite remarkable and seemed to shine out no matter what the light - and her mom had the same eyes!

All in all, I had a blast, learned lots because usually I try to shoot earlier or later in the day -but hey, now I can be more flexible with all you seniors who haven't gotten your casuals done yet! Hope you are pleased "C" and "T"! Sarah will be in touch to show you lots more of your pictures -there are tons to chose from but here are a few of my favorites.

Christmas and Holiday cards, anyone?

Many of you have asked me about Christmas cards and I have my 2007 Season Collection all put together. I love these designs -I think they are beautiful and subtle with gorgeous colors. I  purchased these designs from one of my favorite graphic designers and find that they beautifully compliment my photographic style. If you have had a session with me, all you have to do is tell me the card you like, the photograph from your session you would like to use and your choice of wording. If you are waiting for your session, these are the cards you have to chose from. 

There are three sets of  five designs each. I hope you like them as much as I do! They are all 5 x 7 on linen paper and will arrive to you boxed, with envelopes and ready to send to your family and friends. Cards should be ordered by November 10 to guarantee delivery in time for the holidays. Call me with your selection at 407-312-0938 or email me at nancy@nancyfairclothphotography.com. Happy Holidays!

Love this first group with black and white photographs but if you have pictures with a bit of red in them, they will be very cheery!

The Eyes Have It!

Had such a great time with this senior and her mom. Her clothes were awesome - great little dresses and tops, jewelry and bare feet! Love it! We fought sprinkles all afternoon but by the time we got down to the lake, it was cool and the light was just right. I haven't mentioned those beautiful eyes yet -but I really don't need to, do I? Thanks, you guys for the great time, the beautiful modeling and, oh yeah -the ride home after I lost my keys! (How embarrassing). M and L -here are a few to whet your appetite -can't wait for you to see the rest!

THINK PINK PHOTOGRAPHY

I am very gratified to announce that I have decided to become a part of new photography group called "Think Pink Photography". It is for the benefit of those who are battling breast cancer as well as  breast cancer survivors and their families. Some of you also know that I lost my own mother to breast cancer twenty years ago this month.  Since this group involves photography, let me also add that I have precious few photographs of my mother in her final years even though she was very young when she died.  I can not express how I would have valued professional photos of her to show my children and to remind me of the awesome mother and person she was. I am so pleased to be able to help other families document their trials and triumphs. So... a bit about "Think Pink".

Think Pink Photography was founded in October 2007 to support individuals and their families who have been touched by breast cancer. We are a non-profit organization that serves two main purposes - celebrating life and supporting the cause. Through our photography network, we are helping breast cancer survivors and their supporters to celebrate life with charitable photography sessions.

Through donations and various fundraising efforts, all profits from Think Pink Photography will be donated to The Beverly Family Foundation. As a 3-time breast cancer survivor, Danielle Beverly and her husband Eric joined together to form a foundation dedicated to promoting education, increasing awareness, and providing support and resources for families who have been touched by breast cancer.

As Think Pink Photography grows, so will the opportunities for you to become involved and support this important cause. I encourage you to sign up for our newsletter (on the Think Pink website and Think Pink blog) and tell your friends and family about Think Pink Photography. Awareness is everything and we can't be successful without you.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, I encourage you to view our website, make a donation, or hire a photographer that supports Think Pink Photography! If you hire me, mention Think Pink and I will make a personal donation to the organization. And ask me about the Think Pink Collection for storyboards and notecards - I'll post samples on another blog. With a purchase, I will also make a personal donation! Thank you in advance for your participation.

A few outside, a few in the studio.....

We started this senior's session on a warm -very warm- morning! She was a great model and had brought perfect clothes and we had a blast -but did I mention it was hot! A few days later, we met at my studio and finished up. She was the first person to try out my new red backdrop -don't you love it!- and my cocoa brown one, too. I love sessions like these when we can vary things so much. That way I am very sure we've got lots to choose from and the senior model's personality has really been discovered. So, without further chat -let's see some pictures! 'G', I hope  you like these and that the wait was worth it - there are lots more!

And one more from an earlier session and this just makes me laugh! This horse was such a pet! I think I mentioned I had never been real comfortable around horses until I shot this session - here- and met the residents of this very friendly barn. And these horses play like big puppies! I think this pictures says it all!

Beautiful twins!

Some senior girls just radiate a poise and confidence beyond their years and that is how I felt about these two sisters. Each had their own look, their own style; both had beautiful eyes, one had straight hair and one had curly hair -gotta love twins! Wow- was this session fun.

I photographed the girls at a park near their home. We had springs, palms and gorgeous live oaks as our background but the focal point was these two girls.  Mom and Dad joined in the fun and I'm so pleased with the results. Hope you all like these few samples of our session.

So glad we captured the beautiful scenery in this shot of the whole family!
