A photo shoot with a two year old.

Babies are easy. They sleep, they eat, they poop and they sleep again. Posing a baby is a breeze and actually pretty easy. They can’t run from you or knock over all of your props. They are simple.

Toddlers are an entirely different story. I am entering into a new phase in my business and I wanted to play around with a few ideas that I had and I thought, “Hey, Jonas will be a perfect model. He’ll sit still and probably even flash me one of hundreds of his sweet, little smirks.” Yeah right, as soon as I had everything set up, it was knocked down. So I got 2.2 pictures out of the whole ordeal. Here they are…Jonas 3Jonas 4Jonas 2 BWSo after exhausting all my options with Jonas, I grabbed his teddy bear for a few shots. You get my idea I’m sure :) Baby bearIf anyone has a new baby that is less than a month old and you are interested in being a model for a shoot, send me an email at lindsey@lindsey-turner.com for more details!!

Stephanie’s Portrait Session

Stephanie and I first met while working at Life-Touch. You know, the school picture people? Yeah, that was us. Day after day, we loaded our cars at 5:00am with huge, bulky equipment and would then drive, sometimes up to two hours to get to our school, set up to start taking pictures of hundreds of students in one day. Not too glamorous. Actually, it was pretty brutal. So the day that I was able to call in and QUIT, well,  I felt like broadcasting it across America. I was that happy. Yesterday was kinda a full circle moment for me. See, when I was at the schools taking pictures of all the students, all I wanted to do was be on the other side, away from any school and photograph what I love to photograph. Screaming kids and moody teenagers weren’t my cup of tea. So when Stephanie contacted me to do a portrait session for her, I was thrilled! Stephanie has gone on to really make a name for herself in Peachtree City and business is booming for her. She wants to do a complete makeover for her business and wanted to start with an official portrait session featuring herself as, well, herself. She is an incredible photographer and I am truly inspired by her and how she lives her life. The world is a better place with her in it.

Board 1I love when clients bring props of any sort. Ecspecially when they brings things that they love, things that help represent who they are and that makes them happy. I was so excited to see this antique camera that Stephanie brought. It’s a fun way to add character and bring your personality into the photos.Board 2

Jessica & Jeff Engagements

Jessica smiles whenever he is near. Jeff looks at her and he knows. He knows that he is luckiest man in the world. Their love runs deep and in the short time that they have been together, they have been faced with more than anyone should. Through it all he held her hand kissed her cheek and loved her with his whole heart. It’s for this reason that they are unquestionably head-over-heels in love with each other. Their love is evident when they walk into a room, or in this case, walking down the street.

We spent Saturday morning in Roswell, where they just purchased their new home together, so it made sense to do them here. It was cold but we had so much fun walking up and down the streets talking about anything and everything. I can’t wait for their wedding and to see all of their ideas come to life. It’s going to be a great day for an amazing couple. For now, here are some favorites from their wintery engagement session… JJ-220 copy

Saturday was also a very special day for Jessica. It was a celebration of her mom’s birthday. So in order to bring a little piece of her with her to the shoot, we used her mom’s favorite flower, Gerber Daisy’s for some of the pictures. I thought it was such a thoughtful way to share this moment with her. Board 4

Jessica & Jeff, thank you so much for inviting me on this wonderful journey that you are on. It has been so much fun getting to know you both and I am super excited for your wedding in April! Hopefully it will be warmer! :) See you both soon! – Lindsey

A kitchen Re-do

When I think of our kitchen, it brings back memories of when we were first married. I remember it was the first room in the house that I could convince Brian we should paint. He had lived in our town house for about a year and a half and never so much as hung a picture on the wall and I am the kinda girl that will paint my entire apartment purple without thinking twice. So when I officially took up residency in our home together, I had to have color. So the kitchen is where we started. I was actually shocked that Brian was okay with my Granny Apple Smith choice of paint color. I though for sure he would want to go with a darker shade of beige to start off with. Nope. He smiled as he rolled the bright green paint on the walls. No turning back I guess. :) Well since that, I have convinced him to paint Jonas’ room an awesome tourquise/blue, which is perfect for a little boy. Not too baby-ish. Perfect. Then I painted our half bath the same color (which I did one day while he was at work) so he couldn’t say anything about it. I’ve painted my hime office a few times and I’m ready to go at it again.

I just love color and I love change. So Brian came cross this picture from HGTV and it’s on the list for our next project. Hopefully we are going to paint the kitchen, the cabinets and add some new accessories, maybe even a backsplash to update it and make it a little brighter! I am so excited and I can’t wait to head to IKEA to start looking for inspiration!KB-2470977_kitchen-color-green-beth-haley_lg[1]

Can’t wait to get started and I will definitely take pictures of the progress!!

Sometimes you just need a break.

I love my business. I love invoices, organization and checking off my ever growing to-do list. I think sometimes that I love my job too much and I forget to turn it off, sit back and relax. So today I am doing just that. I have some fabric that I have been meaning to create something funky with. Maybe some fresh new curtains for the kitchen or a new table runner? I also have been craving a good book and I just can’t put down, LOVE THE ONE YOU’RE WITH by Emily Giffin. If you haven’t read any of her books, I highly encourage you to check out one of four that she has out at your local library. Seriously good, stay up all night because I can’t put you down, books. She has an incredible way of writing and making you feel like you could be a character in the book. I just love her!! I was just at the library today and I picked up BABY PROOF and I can’t wait to start it tonight. Anyone else have any good books they can reccomend?

So here is to taking the afternoon off, not checking email, not finishing one more thing on my to-do list. Just- relaxing. Happy Tuesday! Here is a sneak peek of my soon to be curtians and/or throw pillows for the couch. _MG_3961
