The Bogue Family

I met this sweet family to take their little one's 6 month pictures and some Valentine's pictures. I was so excited to see all of the girly outfits and accessories that Mom picked out for our photo shoot! By the way, I think I'm in love. Just look at those big blue eyes. Enjoy!

Ainsley and Abby

Ainsley made her first appearance here a few weeks ago at her newborn session. This time I got to photograph her with her cousin Abby, who is visiting from Florida.

Their moms may not believe it, but I loved everything about this session. I loved how Abby did everything possible NOT to touch her baby cousin. I love how when we asked her to kiss her baby cousin, she bent down but would NOT let her lips touch the baby. I love how almost every picture, she's got some sort of candy in her mouth so that we could get her near the baby! I really, really love all of the "behind the scenes" things that we have to do to get good pictures.

Thanks girls, I enjoyed it! Really!

Valentine's Day Mini Sessions Rescheduled

Due to the possible "winter storm" and cold temperatures this weekend, I have decided to cancel Valentine's Mini Sessions. They will be rescheduled for next weekend. So if you have a Friday session, it will be next Friday, Feb. 5. If you have a Saturday session, it will be next Saturday, Feb. 6.

I understand that you may need to reschedule your time, day, or cancel your session. Please call or email me to let me know. I also have a few openings for these weekends, so please call or email me if you'd like to schedule a session.

Don't worry, your orders will still be ready in time for Valentine's Day! Thanks so much for working with me!

Lawson

Lawson is my little man. He just turned 9 months old, which has broken my heart... Anyway, for his 9 month photos, I decided to focus on little parts of him. I have so many pictures of his squishy face, that I wanted to capture some of my favorite things like his chubby baby body and long eyelashes. These are my two favorite ones, and I'm so excited because I ordered a gallery wrap of each to put in his room. I can't wait to see how they turned out, and I'll try to post pics once I get them hung!

Presley

Miss Presley was my first Valentine's model. She just turned one, so her mom wanted to get some birthday pics of her also. So we did her Valentine's pictures first, and by the time we got to her birthday pictures, she'd had enough! We still got some cute ones though, here's a peek at a few.

I love it, as soon as I sit a little one on railroad tracks, they dive for the rocks!

All Valentine's Mini Sessions are Filled

Thank you so much for your interest in my Valentine's Mini Sessions. All spots are currently booked, but please email me if you would like for me to put you on my waiting list.

Valentine's Day Mini Sessions

Please call or email me to schedule your session.

Ok Mommas, I know you're trying to figure out a great Valentine's gift for your husband! What would be a better gift than pictures of your little lovebug???

Thanks to my friend Tiffany for supplying the adorable tutus. I will also have a purple and white one at the session. So, NO session fee and NO outfit to purchase!!! Only $25 for some adorable photos! (Additional photos may be purchased at my regular prices.)

Yes, mommas of boys, even your little guys can get Valentine's portraits!

I also have these cute Valentine's designs to go around your photos. I can print them in any size, but I think would look really cute as wallets. They'd look like personalized Valentines!

Become a Fan!

One of my "business" new year's resolutions was to make a fan page on Facebook. So many people have raved about sharing your business there, so I've been intending to make a page for a while. I figured I'd wait until January when things slowed down. So... I finally set it up, however it's still a work in progress. I'd love for you to become a fan! Here's the link: http://www.facebook.com/#/pages/Memphis-TN/Shannon-Payne-Photography/260424390836?ref=mf

I can't wait to see what 2010 has in store!

Snow Day 2010

I hope everyone had fun in the snow today!

Schwartz Family Newborn Session

I have really fallen in love with newborn sessions. I think it's the fact that I can love on them, rock them, shush them, and then give them back! It reminds me a little of what grandparents say they love about being grandparents. It's definitely a perk! This is one lucky girl. Her parents were so loving and relaxed. Not to mention that she already has an accessory drawer!

Newborn Sneak Peek

Here's a little preview of a session I'm working on. I'm having the hardest time picking my favorites, so I hope this will make mom happy while I decide!
