a terrific wedding at Maria’s Vinyard in Dothan!

Jennifer and Michael tied the knot not quite 3 weeks ago and WOW what some amazing shots we got! Ralph and I both love to shoot at Maria’s Vinyard, so we got totally wrapped up in the surroundings. We thought we may have a bit of rain, so we rushed out to the vinyard to get some shots just in case of a shower. The cool part was that Ralph and I both knew when we were snapping just how amazing those clouds would look in the images! It’s getting pretty late, so I don’t have time to load many, but here’s a few of our absolute favorites. We’re just so thankful that this amazing couple chose us to capture their special day! -Cindi Kay

Does it get any more beautiful?

I JUST LOVED THAT VEIL!!!

a passion for Dance School Photography!

We just had the most amazing week with those wonderful dancers from Oz Dance Center! We had a terrific time playing around with different themes. I was amazed at just how excited those MOMS were during the shoot. I know they can hardly wait to get their pictures, so we promise to get to work printing all those packages right away! We will also be putting up a web gallery just in case anyone would like to order a few additional prints or maybe even order some with one of our artistic effects such as the black and white shown here… Special thanks to everyone at Oz Dance Center for all of their help. We are truly honored that you chose us this year! We’ve got our work cut out for us in processing all of those amazing images, but I just had to share a few -Cindi K

Photography classes!

We’ve had a number of folks calling and stopping by asking when or if I will teach locally again. For those who have been inquiring, then we have good news for you! Starting very soon I will be offering a comprehensive series of classes that will cover everything from photography basics, photoshop & Lightroom skills, Studio Lighting basics and even a special class that will help you find your style!

What better way to remember this special time in your life than to hang artwork such as this on your wall. We are hanging this one on the wall of our studio. It really is a work of art

Baby Palooza tomorrow!

Look for our booth at the Dothan Convention Center tomorrow! Vanessa and I both will take turns manning our booth and I will be helping judge the CUTEST KID CONTEST! The winner of the contest can look forward to being a cover model for the summer or fall issue of Wiregrass Parenting Magazine. We will be representing both the magazine and the studio throughout the day and look forward to meeting all of those moms and kids!

By the way, if you’re interested in having your child considered for a cover of Wiregrass Parenting Magazine, then you’ll want to have your child’s portrait made with us or another sponsor studio featured in Wiregrass Parenting! Hope to see you soon

Our beautiful daughter on her wedding day!

We’re still working on the rest of the images from Vanessa’s and Steven’s wedding, but I thought I’d go ahead an share at least one! Thank goodness I didn’t have to do ALL of the photography. We had a wonderful photographer from Georgia who was sooooo much fun to work with! Thanks Terry for putting up with all of us. It was truly a blessing having you at our daughter’s wedding!

I’m still not sure how we pulled off planning a wedding with us being so busy and my having to travel lately! Let’s just say I have a new found respect for MOTHER of THE BRIDE

Morgan’s photogenic headshot for her pageant!

We do LOTS & LOTS of photogenic shots here at Studio EnVogue and lately we’ve been on a serious winning streak with our photogenic headshots! I really enjoy working with all the beauty queens who come to us and just thought I’d share a favorite shot from this week! It is our hope that Morgan will soon be added to our growing list of photogenic category winners next Saturday when she competes! GO MORGAN!

memories of Louisiana

Hello all… Just checking in to let everyone know that we are back from Louisiana! We were hosted by three different photography guilds, including New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Lafayette. We gave speech after speech, judged one print competition and put more than our share of miles on my car Vanessa and I even got to spend some quality time in the New Orleans’ French Quarter and also went on a tour of Laura Plantation. Here’s a few of my personal favorites from Bourbon Street. ENJOY!

Studio HOURS for next week

Vanessa and I are headed out to Louisiana for a THREE CITY speaking tour! The studio will be closed Mon, Tues & Weds and will reopen Thursday of next week. We will be forwarding the studio phone to my cell. Feel free to give us a call if you have any questions or would like to book a session.

We’re actually leaving a day early because the president of the New Orleans photography guild is taking us on photo tour of the city! He promises to take us to some great sites for photos, so you can look forward to some cool stuff here when we get back. I’ll be speaking in New Orleans Monday night, Baton Rouge on Tues and Lafayette on Wedsnesday.

Louisiana here we come!

Sisters portrait collage

Hello again! It’s been kinda crazy around here, but I had to take a moment to share one of our newest creations. This one is from our “CONNECTIONS” series and it’s getting rave reviews Hope you like it!

By the way, these little cuties are extra special to us because we shot their mommy and daddy’s wedding! They live in Nashville TN and we’re just so thrilled that they were able to drop in for a shoot while visiting family near us!

Baseball Baby!

Check out this little guy with his Dad’s ball and glove! I just had to share

Birth Announcements to brag about!

Just had to share one of our Couture Birth Announcements. How sweet can you get! This little man really enjoyed his first photo shoot and his mommy saved 50% on his announcements because she’s an “ENVOGUE MOM”

Earth Angels!

All babies are angels, but we like to think that our babies have that little extra special touch with our all nature halos! I was especially taken with this little angel as we shot her mommy and daddy’s wedding!

We’re so pleased to announce that we’re expecing our own brand new earth angel! My daughter Vanessa is due in September! I can hardly wait to shoot her belly shots

No BUNNIES were HARMED in the creation of this image!

Seriously… I love bunnies as much as the next photographer, but I’d much rather concentrate on your child’s expression instead of what the bunny is up to. Plus, I don’t have to worry about them hopping away or making a mess. Never mind how many bunnies get picked up by the neck or squeezed a little too hard during Easter sessions. I have a VERY SOFT spot for pets and just couldn’t stand to watch any bunny get choked or have their ears almost torn off during a session! That’s why I use the next best thing Besides bunnies should be an accent and not the center of attention in your child’s Easter Portraits!

When you have an enchanted garden like ours, then you can be sure that somewhere in the scene will be an enchanted bunny! Don’t forget about our $29.95 special just in time for Spring
