A Winning Christmas Image!

The image below is special to me for a couple of reasons; first and foremost because it's of my daughter and future grandchild (and her 21 year old teddy bear!). My daughter came by to make images for use in her baby shower invitations. While we were doing that, I decided to make an image to enter into a photography contest with entries from all over the US. The winners were announcd today, and I'm just thrilled to share the news that we won 2nd place!!!

The winning images receive tons of cool prizes, including a cool new website design. So you'll be seeing lots of changes in the way Cypress Springs Photography looks and feels in the near future. What a cool Christmas present!

I hope everyone had a wonderful, blessed Christmas and look forward to seeing you all in the new year.

For Carmen

Carmen is one of my favorite teens. She's a delightful young lady who is incredibly intelligent and, in my opinion, very mature for her age. What's more...she doesn't really suspect how truly beautiful she is!

Carmen told me during her session last week that she's taking photography-related classes. I'm thrilled and I think we may hang out a bit in the future (I'm looking forward to it!). So, this one's for you, Carmen. And may I just say...WOW!

We're published this month!

Have you had a chance to look through the Murray Life Magazine this month? We're there! I'm thrilled and wanted to share with you! The image below (that's Leo from Mayfield) is featured in this month's edition in an article by the Humane Society of Calloway County.

The article discusses the gifting of pets and why it isn't always advisable. It's an interesting, very informative read. I strongly encourage everyone to view the article AND share it with someone who's considering giving a pet as a gift!

Congratulations, Leo, you're famous!!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Last night I had the delightful pleasure of creating Christmas portraits for Carmen and little Shaylee at their home. The setting was postcard-perfect and you just couldn't ask for better subjects. Aren't they beautiful! Here's a couple of peeks from their session (more to come later, Mom!)...

Abby

Here's little Abby from yesterday. She was visiting with Granny (and waiting on Santa Claus!). Isn't she just adorable!
