lexington ky portrait & wedding photographer » my little studio http://melaniemauer.com photographing the most darling families & weddings in the bluegrass since 1999 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 06:46:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 gina, lance and 10 years of being your photographer http://melaniemauer.com/2009/08/gina-lance-and-10-years-of-being-your-photographer/ http://melaniemauer.com/2009/08/gina-lance-and-10-years-of-being-your-photographer/#comments Thu, 27 Aug 2009 20:15:30 +0000 Melanie http://melaniemauer.com/?p=30 there’s so much to share…i’ve been having the best time working on proofs as of late.  and the sessions have made me over-the-top-happy…i feel really fortunate to have the view of the world i do.  this week i literally had to pinch myself.  the blog is so behind…ie: 30+ sessions of goodness behind!  will you just smile when you see those leaves on the trees in january when there’s a chance to catch it all up?  ;)  because i’m such a visual person, i really struggle to eloquently craft a little paragraph that communicates how i feel to a degree that satisfies so  i wait for time to really think about a session and the time i had to spend with you!

gina, lance and their family were wonderful – we did this session for a couple reasons.  first, to create an image for an announcement and also to create images of their new blended family for their home. i love that now, as they share lives, the images on their wall will reflect this new beautiful family of theirs.  here’s a peek at their beautiful announcement.

it’s not nearly done but i’m already feeling like i’ve had one of the best years imaginable.  thank you, thank you, thank you…next week marks my 10th year in business.  it means more than i can express to have been present when you say ‘i do’, as you’ve welcomed babies into your home and to see them grow.  i appreciate that i’m involved with recording your visual history and i really do feel that it’s so much better to have consistency in that if at all possible.  moves happen but if circumstances allow, i think the loveliest option is to utilize one photographer so that the voice amongst the images in your home all ‘play’ well together – they have a similar feeling and voice to them.  yesterday, the most darling mother mentioned her young daughter and the fact that i would be there to photograph the wedding and my heart jumped – it’s never an assumption i make that i’ll get to share life beside you, just a deep deep hope.  you make life rich – merci.
