Merry Christmas 2009

Dec
2009

Merry Christmas everyone. The holidays are a special time of the year and they hold so many different meanings for all of us, but the one common thing we all share is the love for our families and friends….a time to get together and celebrate. Another year has come and gone so very fast and what an amazing year it has been with so much to be thankful for. My children, who keep me running around like crazy, smiling, laughing, saying “you have one more warning…” and most importantly, wanting to be a better person with each passing day. My family that supports me and loves me on my good, bad and crazy days. My friends that still ask me to get together even though this last year I have not been the best at making time to get together due to crazy schedules, but I promise to do much better because I really do need all of you. My clients…without all of you, my job as a photographer would not be possible. Honestly, I adore my clients SO much that I really consider all to be friends 🙂 THANK YOU to each and every one!!

Today has been so much fun. I am a bit sleep deprived, full of great food, and finding myself hearing “you’ll shoot your eye out…you’ll shoot your eye out..” in my head as we have all watched “A Christmas Story” about 8 times, but so happy to spend the day with my family.

I am looking forward to 2010, my mind is buzzing with ideas for Lisa Carpenter Photography. I am looking forward to meeting many new clients and seeing familiar faces as well. All the best to you and yours.

You may recognize the beautiful face in these photos because I have had previous sessions with my client turned friend, Stacy. What you may also notice is that Stacy has topped the previous sessions each and every time as she becomes more and more comfortable in front of the camera. To add variety to the galleries of photos, Stacy decided to go for an edgier look with straight hair and a smokey eye. I must say that she looked stunning! We met at very early on a Sunday morning to avoid the crowds and to take advantage of the warm colors of the rising sun. Facing the sun and a little extra eye makeup created a frustrating yet comical situation of watering eyes. So every 3rd or 4th frame we had to take a quick break to allow the eyes to stop tearing, which gave us all time to laugh and have a fun morning. Nothing like having the photographer say “come on, dry the eyes as the light is changing fast!”. But again, that just meant more laughs for all of us.
The clothing worn in this shoot will be a part of the Expressions Fashion Show in October. If you haven’t been to one of these shows yet, you must try and make the one in October!
