Kassidy's Story

Some of you have heard about what happened to our daughter, but for those of you who haven't....


One of my identical twin 4 year old daughters (Kassidy) was attacked by a dog when our family went to pick out a baby kitty before Christmas. She was airlifted to a HCMC's trauma center & ended up having surgery with 3 different surgeons, including a neurosurgeon & an eye surgeon. The surgeons called her a "miracle" because her temperal artery should've been severed, and they couldn't explain why it wasn't!!! (You can read her whole story & see pictures on my Facebook page).


Our lives were turned completely upside down! We didn't leave her side at the hospital, and Cyndi was with us almost the entire time, so as you can imagine, we weren't able to work.


Nothing is more important to me than my family, so I have to express the HUGE gratitude I have in my heart for all of you who have been patient with me through our daughter's hospitalization & recovery! Thank you for all the kind words & especially your prayers!


Here's a part of one of the emails that actually brought a smile to my face it was so cute: "Do not worry about my pictures at all! Take as long as you need with getting those to me. If it's been a year and I haven't got them then maybe I'll send a little e-mail to ask :), but otherwise don't worry." This sweet gal was so understanding & patient, but I just loved the fact that she would maybe send a little email after a year. It's amazing how the littlest things can bring you happiness in a time of crisis.


She is a miracle girl, so I have to thank God for His hand over her life and for the supernatural peace she had during the whole ordeal!

Some GORGEOUS women...inside & out!

We are so excited to have done amazing shoots with Sami, Krystle, Melissa & Nancy already in this new year! (Check back for their teaser pictures that we will post soon!) January is scheduled to be one of our busiest months ever!

Each woman is so beautiful & unique in their own way! We love discovering the "thing" we enjoy most about every woman that walks through our door. And hearing about each woman's life, children, love stories, jobs, etc...is so interesting! We do have some FUN girl chats!!! Like...

...the great gal who was divorced, but recently reunited with a high-school love & couldn't be happier!
...and another sweet girl who meet her fiance in another country while they were both teaching English.

Some women are police officers (or are married to them), some are nurses, teachers, social workers, mortgage officers, bankers, hairstylists, small business owners...or stay at home moms (the toughest job of them all, right moms? :)

It's been fun to hear what expectations people had about our studio. For example...one gal recently said she thought she was going to walk into a salon type setting with tons of women scurrying all over. Instead - she was meet by just Cyndi & I (and she was pleasantly surprised at how cute the studio is and how comfortable she felt!) We do our best to pamper all of you amazing women!!!

So...what about viewing proofs after a shoot?
We post the proofs to a password protected online portfolio, so you can take your time to choose your favorites! There are albums of each "look", along with a Teaser album - with fully re-touched pictures from each "look", so you have a great idea of what the end result of your photographs will be! We have to warn you...choosing your favorites is the HARDEST part of the entire experience...you will love so many!

Upcoming blogs...
How/Why we got started
Re-touching - our tricks & tips (with loads of pictures)

If you haven't already booked a shoot with us, we can't wait to meet you & help you reveal your inner bombshell!
Hugs & Kisses!
