Photography by Studio EnVogue

Who better to help me show off a new background than our very own Princess Vanessa! I fell in love with this beautiful backdrop and HAD to HAVE it! I can hard wait to get a bride on it!!!!!!!!! -Cindi Kay

From our recent trip to Tampa! Here’s just a few of my dearest friends in the photography world. Sitting just to the left of the rail is Ron Jackson of Deerfield Beach and just below me is Sandra Pearce also from South Florida. The guy with the beard on the top row is Marc Benjamin from San Francisco! He was photographer of the year in 2006! We also had this year’s photographer of the year, Keith Howe, in our group, but he hadn’t arrived yet when this photo was taken. We had many other teachers and mentors in this group! These guys have helped me grow so much as a photographic artist; I can always depend on them for open and honest opinions of my work.

I’m not sure who the young girl is in the bottom right, but I suspect she’s somone’s daughter or assistant

By the way, MY assistant Lisa took this shot! Considering most of us had a few drinks by this time, I think she did an amazing job! GO LISA!!!

Have a terrific day!

Just wanted to share one of our latest birth announcements! We’ve had a ton of babies in lately and I’m having a ball with them! I hope to have a moment to share our other weddings from December, but just don’t seem to have much time for blogging lately! I promise to blog more this week though… -Cindi

Ok, so I’m finally caught up on posting all of our weddings from December, YIPPIE!!! Now maybe I can “play” with a few of my favorites!

From Jeri and Bryan’s Christmas Wedding (Dec 29th)! We found this alley just behind the First Baptist Church in Eufaula… I thought it looked they were in Europe instead of Alabama! It was begging to be made into a work of art, so I started painting on it and this is what I ended up with! I look forward to your comments on this one!!!

STAY TUNED… MORE TO COME from the amazing weddings we did in December!!!

2008 will bring many changes to Studio EnVogue and I’m so pleased to announce this one!!!

I was thinking towards the end of the year about ways that we could be a bit different in 2008 and one of the BIGGEST AND BEST ideas that I had was to find a few ways to GIVE BACK and say THANK YOU to our clients!!! What a novel idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could there possibly be a better way to say THANK YOU to the MOMS who already brings their little ones to us and invite those who have been waiting in the wings to give us a try than to lower the session fee? I THINK NOT!!! DARE TO BE DIFFERENT, THAT WAS ALWAYS MY PLAN AND SO FAR IT HAS WORKED BEAUTIFULLY

Session fees will now start at ONLY $24.95 for those little ones under 16 years of age!!! YIPPIE!!! There will be an additional charge for multiple children and extended sessions with multiple outfit changes but this will rarely bring a session to more than $39.00! I can hear the celebrations already

Let’s not forget to mention of January Special!!! Bring us your NEW baby (six week old or less) before the end of this month and you get a 16×20 wall portrait absolutely FREE just for bringing your precious little one to us for his or her first portrait! PLUS your child’s first session is FREE as well and we want YOU to be in it as we like to call these FIRST sessions “Mommy and Me” memories! Your baby will never be this tiny again and believe me the portraits we create during this first session will be INCREDIBLE!!!

More exciting news coming soon!

Life is full of change and that’s what being EnVogue is all about!!! What better time than January to introduce a few new items!!! All you mommies will want to STAY TUNED in the next few weeks to see all the cool new stuff that we are adding to our boutique

HIP HIP HURRAY… ARICKA IS ONE YEAR OLD TODAY!!!



and now with Mommy and Daddy!!!


It’s RARE indeed that I blog on the same day as I snap anything, but this session called for extraordinary celebration! You see, Ralph and I had the pleasure of shooting Mommy and Daddy’s wedding a couple years ago and we have a very special bond with them! I’ll never forget my conversation with Amanda… She was having a very bad day and a difficult time finding a photographer that she liked. She and I hit it off right over the phone and within minutes Jason was calling to make an appointment to come in to meet with us! His words were “I’ve never even spoken with you, but I know I like you because you made my fiance’ happy!”. The rest is history as their wedding ended up being featured in Southern Bride Magazine and will forever be one of our favorites. The TRUE LOVE they have for one another continues to shine through in some pretty amazing family photographs! ENJOY!!! -Cindi Kay

As I sit here comtemplating all the things we’ve learned in 2007, I can’t help but be excited about what the New Year has in store for us. We’ve gone through a few growing pains, but have NO complaints because we know that for any person or business to succeed that it’s all part of the process… We have prayed many prayers and have had many prayers uttered on our behalf and we are thankful for each and every one of them. I know that the road ahead will have more bumps, but isn’t that what life’s all about? It’s not that we have bumps in the road, it’s how you conquer them and how well you come out on the other side… With that said, I give THANKS for the bumps in my road because they help make me and my family stronger and my business all the more successful… I understand that they are necessary and I do not PRETEND that they do not happen. I prefer to keep my life REAL and deal with REAL people who I can talk to and know that they are as real as I am… We have been truly blessed in 2007 and I know that with faith we will be even more blessed in 2008.

Thanks for listening and have a HAPPY AND SAFE NEW YEAR and for those of you who are wondering both of my beautiful daughters are doing well after their accident the Friday before Christmas! The car on the other hand appears to be totaled!

God Bless -Cindi Kay

Who says all Bridal Shots have to be in the studio or outdoors when you have “Mood Lighting”… The kind lighting that can only be found at night or in dark corners It can make the difference between a good portrait and a DRAMATIC piece of art. We found this lighting in the hallway of the Eufaula Country Club after this weekend’s beautiful wedding! This was one very content bride who was more than willing to climb up on the table we found in the hallway and pose for us just before she danced the night away with her friends and family… ENJOY -Cindi Kay
