Kim and Pierce’s E-Session | Overton Park Memphis Engagement Photography
July 26, 2010 | Filed Under Engagement/Newlyweds, Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Kim and Pierce met us at Overton Park in Memphis, TN for their engagement session. They are such a fun and beautiful couple. We had a great time goofing around and getting some gorgeous images of them. The gardens at Overton Park and the architecture of the Brooks Art Museum (located in Memphis, TN next to the Memphis Zoo) lent us some beautiful backdrops for our future bride and groom’s engagement session.
Originally, Kim wanted to take all of their engagement photos out in a field of sunflowers. I was game but Mother Nature was not! With a heat wave hitting the week before our session, all the sunflowers wilted. We were bummed. But, I still managed to find a couple sunflowers for Kim and Pierce. This ended up being one of my favorite pictures of their engagement session! Thanks for such a fun evening Kim and Pierce…we still need to go get that milkshake! I am looking forward to your wedding day!

This little chunky monkey is signed up for our Ages and Stages package. This is Quinn’s three month session.
We asked her mom to bring in a few cute props with her name on them. This little blanket was perfect!
Quinn is such an angel; she even fell asleep for us at just the right moment!
Kinda makes you wonder what she’s dreaming about! Too cute!
Quinn is full of personality! A normally super happy baby, her mom said this was her week for fussiness! Luckily, we had no problem coaxing her into a few smiles for us!
Quinn was showing off with her rolling over and trying to sit up. We may have a crawler by her six month session!
Stay tuned, because this baby girl will be back in just a few short months for her six month photography session! We can’t wait to see how she has grown!
Give Left Shoe Photography an email or call today to book your child’s photography session or for more information on our Ages and Stages (first year of photography) Package!

Downtown Memphis High School Senior Pictures - Court Square Park
May 7, 2010 | Filed Under Business, Seniors | Leave a Comment
I met the beautiful Ke’Yanna in downtown Memphis, at Court Square, for her senior portrait session. Court Square is a beautiful park in the middle of downtown Memphis. If you’re into movies you might recognize the park from the movie The Firm starring Tom Cruise. Well, on this beautiful Wednesday morning the star was Ke’Yanna! Seriously! Everywhere we went people asked if she was a movie star or a model! We had a lot of fun!
Ke’Yanna used to live in Memphis and wanted her high school senior photos to capture her home town. The area around Court Square offered a little bit of everything for her senior pictures. We had the gorgeous park, the fun urban feel, and the Mississippi River all within walking distance. And, Ke’Yanna can really walk in heels!
This is one of my favorite shots from Ke’Yanna’s senior photography session. I love the funky-fun urban feeling of this picture and getting out in these fun settings to photograph lovely people is what this job is all about!
Ke’Yanna has a real classic beauty! The morning of her senior photography session was actually her 18th birthday! What a fun way to start your birthday morning! She graduates in just a few short weeks. She was one of our “last minute” seniors proving that, it’s never too late to have your senior pictures taken! If you haven’t had your senior portraites taken yet, give us a call, we can always accommodate last minute requests!
Even the Memphis Fire Department showed up for our senior photo shoot! As we were taking pictures in Court Square the Memphis Fire Department showed up for a fire drill at an adjacent building. We were lucky enough to be invited to take a few fun shots on the fire truck! We were super excited to jump aboard and get a few amazing shots. Thanks to the Memphis fire fighters for all their heroic work and for having some fun with us for a few minutes!
Congratulations on your upcoming graduation Ke’Yanna! Thank you for choosing us as your senior portrait photographers. I had a lot of fun working with you. It’s such an exciting time of life to be a senior in high school! Enjoy every last minute of it!

Charlie and I had a great time photographing Michelle and DJ’s wedding last weekend and I couldn’t wait until I had all the pictures processed to share just a few of my favorites. We also had the opportunity to photograph Michelle and DJ’s engagement session last summer as part of their wedding package. Congratulations Michelle and DJ!…You guys look great!!!
Being the primary impediment to a quick return to the “beverages” on the PARTY BUS is never an enviable position on the wedding day, but members of the wedding party were great sports while we took some memorable photographs for the bridal couple.
DJ and Michelle’s family and friends sure know how to have a good time. No party-poopers allowed at this wedding!
Guests were TOTALLY geeked about the wedding cookies!!! 
I hope you enjoyed the pictures.

I posted a preview of Lucas and Missy’s wedding photographs last week and I’m glad to finally share some of the rest of our wedding photography. Charlie and I were excited to travel to Hastings, Michigan to photograph their fun outdoor wedding. Enjoy the photographs!
We were rewarded for our travels with a beautiful location to photograph the bridal couple. The fall leaves made this lake a shimmering palette of colors.
The seasonal wedding centerpieces were great! I just love to photograph bright colors at weddings so these bright orange pumpkins were perfect.

I’ve been waiting a little while to get these wedding photographs up and since wedding season is slowing down I have a little more time to update the website. Charlie and I had the privilege of photographing Lucas and Missy’s beautiful wedding in late fall. Their wedding was outdoors at a youth camp and the ceremony was underneath a beautiful pavilion overlooking a lake. The scenery was really splendid and all the trees were in the middle of turning colors, allowing many different outdoor photographic opportunities….I just love fall weddings!
Here is just a quick flavor of some of the wedding photographs. I’ll post the rest in a few days. Enjoy!
If your getting married next year and your looking for someone to photograph your wedding contact us…. I’d love to chat about making your wedding unforgettable!

Look Spectacular on your Wedding Day! | How to look FABULOUS in Photographs!
December 29, 2009 | Filed Under Weddings | Leave a Comment
As a former bride and wedding photographer, based in Memphis Tennessee, I understand the importance of making sure a woman looks her absolute best on her wedding day. I also understand the anxiety and stress that can go into preparing for such an event; after all, how often in life are you going to invest thousands of dollars and hours-and-hours of wedding preparation to ensure you look your very best? P.S. If your thinking more than once, now might be a good time to let your future spouse in on your plans!
As a photographer specializing in wedding photography, I have lots of experience helping bridal couples look their best on their wedding day and while I’m taking pictures there are many things I do with posing to help accomplish this goal. Over the years, however, I have noticed several other critical factors that can help ensure all brides look their absolute best on their wedding.
Hire a GOOD professional makeup artist!
This is one of the most critical decisions a bride can make to ensure she looks good in all her wedding photographs and is one item that often gets cut by budget savvy brides. There is a reason most commercial portrait photographers work very closely with makeup artists they trust, they understand a good makeup artist is critical to making their models look good!! To ensure you find a make-up artist you like, get a referral from one of your friends and absolutely schedule a run-through! You don’t want any perfectly avoidable problems popping up on your wedding day. Also, if the rest of your wedding party isn’t getting their makeup done with you, make sure you bring someone whose opinion you trust along with you. You’ll want an honest opinion of how you look before you walk down the aisle.
Understand what makes you feel and look good!
One of the most critical determinants of how we look on the outside is how we feel inside. When someone feels like a million bucks it is going to show well in their pictures and if they are self-conscious it will have a negative impact. As the primary photographic subject on the wedding day, ensuring you are comfortable with how you look in your dress, makeup and hair will determine your mood come photography time.
Posture and Posing!
There are a few simple things that brides can do with their posture to make sure they look good in their wedding photographs. Before you you invest the next several days in a America’s Next Top Model marathon watch session, you may want to take a couple minutes to read a post by Julyne Derrick of About.com she has a great article about 5 red carpet secrets for posing and tips on looking thinner. If you need to practice in the mirror..go for it! Its our secret!
Hire a talented professional photographer!
Lets be honest!..If you want good pictures you have to hire someone with some skill behind the lens, but equally important is your photographers ability to assist you in posing and in making you feel comfortable. As a wedding photographer, I approach each couple individually and in the months leading up to the wedding I always put in extra effort to get to know my wedding couples so that I can make them feel absolutely comfortable on their wedding day. If you are uncomfortable, it will show in your images. Making sure you hire a photographer that you click with will go a long way to determining the quality of your pictures.
Hope some of this advice was useful!!

Matt and Danielle’s Engagement Session | Marion Engagement Photography Arkansas
December 28, 2009 | Filed Under Engagement/Newlyweds | Leave a Comment
I posted a teaser of Matt and Danielle’s engagement photography session last week and finally got around to posting a more complete list from some of our favorite shots. We had such a beautiful day to roam the Dow Gardens and we really took advantage of all of the splendid scenery!!! One of the reasons I like doing engagement sessions so much is that it gives me a chance to learn so much about my wedding couples. Matt and Danielle told us that they were composing their own wedding song and recording their own vocals for their first dance as newlyweds…Isn’t that soooo AWESOME! I always say that we seem to get the best wedding couples and Matt and Danielle are no exception. I can’t wait to hear there finished result.
As a wedding and portrait photogrpher in the Memphis and Marion Arkansas areas I am fortunate to meet a lot of beautiful wedding couples. Memphis Tennessee and Marion Arkansas have many beautiful areas for a Memphis photographer and their bridal couple to choose from. If you are interested in having your engagement session done by one of our Memphis engagement photographers please contact me and I will be happy to set up your engagement session today. Hope everyone enjoyed the photographs! Tracy-Contact Me
