francetastic!
This was the France family’s first Picsee session and we were so excited when they booked! Mom Vandi and I brainstormed together about the perfect location for the session, and since it was top priority to capture daughters Maddie & Kate at their specific stages doing what they love, we decided that a session at [...]
love : plane and simple!
Danielle and Brandon were married last August – and we, unfortunately, were already booked for their date (boo, hiss!) – but luckily, we were able to document their wedded bliss earlier this month via an Afterglow session! How sweet is that?! We treated this kickin’ couple just like we do all our wedding couples, having them fill out our special “all about you” questionairre to get [...]
elaine’s sweet legacy!
We were looking forward to Elaine’s fun legacy session since we first put it on the books months ago, but when she sent us pics of the family farm before the shoot we got even MORE excited! What beautiful property! We ended up meeting Elaine and 9 of the most special people in her life [...]
studio news & afterglowdeliciousness!
Yes – that’s a word! Because I said so! ; ) Anyhoo…we’ve been some busy bees around this crazy place here lately! The joint’s been a-jumpin, for realz! If you blog/twitter-stalk us you may have noticed that we posted a little blurb the other day concerning some newly available holiday mini-session dates… Well, since 2010 was [...]
feelin’ the heat!
There’s a bit of a double meaning with our title for today’s post…I just knew Tony and Brandi’s engagement shoot was going to sizzle when we rolled up at our first location and I started things off by burning my leg against the tailpipe of Jenn’s mini cooper!! (omgggggggg ouch!) But I worked through the pain and it TOTALLY paid off [...]
the fearless frohlichs!
Christy and I were super excited about shooting the Frohlich family a few weeks ago! We photographed eldest daughter Blaine’s senior session a couple months ago (remember the amazingness?!) and had a blast, so we were pumped to meet her younger siblings Makenzee, Sophie and Jake! Mom Karen loved the “downtown” urban-inspired shots we did for Blaine’s session, so we [...]
city mouse, country mouse!
Jennifer and I first met bride Kimi when she and her mommy-in-law to be Bitsy came to the studio for her wedding consultation. She was beautiful, absolutely adobrable, and knew exactly what she wanted! (YES!) We fell in love with her instantly! So the date was booked and the engagement session planning began… After reading through the answer to Kimi [...]
a storm’s a brewin’ & so is a baby!
I have been friends with Daphanie since the fifth or sixth grade. I have been lucky enough to play dolls with her as a child, learn how to drive with her as a teenager, see her fall competely in love with her hubby Joe as an adult, and now add to her family with a sweet baby [...]
he put a ring on it!
Brittany and Sam are one of the sweetest couples – their engagement session was earlier this year and it was ah-mazing (click here to reminisce) – and as luck would have it, their wedding day was, too! Jenn and I couldn’t wait to get to the church…it was a bright and sunshiney day, and everything seemed [...]
mr. and mrs. robertson!
What a b-e-a-utiful wedding this was! You may remember this fabulous couple from their engagement session last year, and how we all loved her mommy’s wedding dress that she wore! Well, the wedding was just as spectacular! Heidi and Brock , your day was absolutely amazing, we had so much fun, and every single detail was perfection! We loved your slate blue and [...]
the fab fontaine fam!
Before we leave ya for the weekend we’d like you to meet the awesome Fontaine family! Mom Lynda called us to book a special session with her hubby Darryl and three sons Alex, Max and Rhys. These guys hadn’t had a family session for a hot little bit, and with son Alex graduating from high school and leaving for the Air Force [...]
josh and kara sittin’ in a tree!
k..i..s..s..i..n..g! First comes love, second comes marriage…and we couldn’t be happier for this sweet couple! Josh and Kara’s wedding AND reception were held at Maple Lane Farm in Johnson City, and the day couldn’t have been more perfect! (Our no-rain dance worked and the bad weather held off all day!) Jennifer and I started the day in Kara’s bridal room photographing her and [...]
my three sons!
We’re featuring another one of our Sweet Pea families on this hot and muggy Friday! Sweet baby Branson (who was a preemie and tiny as anything for his first shoot) has grown by leaps and bounds since his last session and totally brought the cuteness! He’s at the fantastic “I can sit up but I don’t crawl away [...]
airfield awesomeness!
(Marguerite, we know you’ve been stalking the blog and we’re SOOOO excited to finally post your killer sneak-peek!) This awesome party of 5 travelled ALLLLL the way down from Canada for a sweet Picsee treat and we couldn’t wait to meet them! Marguerite has been following our photography for some time now, and she was SO excited to get on [...]

Okay, this post is going to be a little bit shorter than most (image-wise), but we just couldn’t wait until Monday to share Chelsey & Marc’s super-sweet pics! (Gotta have some eye candy to get us through the weekend, right?!) We had the pleasure of photographing this fabulous couple a few weeks back, and it was [...]
rockin’ with the rodefer’s!
Tonya and her sweet family were SOOOOO excited about their shoot, and we just love enthusiastic families! We had rain ALL week prior to the session, and Christy and I were bummed when it started to sprinkle on our way there…but we could see the blue skies in the distance, so we went for it! We [...]
swagger wagon!
Oh. My. Gosh. Just HAD to share this – every time I see one of those Toyota “Sienna Family” commercials I completely crack UP, so when my hubs shared this music video with me I couldn’t resist posting it here!! If you are this family, we want to shoot you! If you’re LIKE this family, [...]
quaint, country goodness!
Wow – what a busy few weeks this has been! 3 of the 4 of us have had vacations in May, so I apologize to our dear, loyal blog readers for our neglect these past days! We have 8 awesome sessions to feature, and we’ll start playing catch-up next week, promise! For now, I wanted to [...]
a picsee wedding!
We’re so SO happy to announce that our very own Miss Jennifer Costella officially became Mrs. Alex Bolling today!! She’s the baby of our group, the last single Picsee chick, and it was such an honor to be a part of the happiest day of her life (thus far)! I’ve known Jennifer for almost 5 [...]
ahhh, young love!
My brother Josh was deployed to Iraq in March. (I miss him so much!) I knew I wanted to get some super spectacular images of him and his sweetie Megan, so Jenn and I met up with them a couple of days before he left. Jennifer and I had been scouting out new areas to [...]
a very perfect engagement!
Oh my mommas, how we LOVE engagement sessions!!! Bride-to-be Brittany and I had been preparing for this shoot for weeks, and the results are so beautiful and AWESOME! Our vision for the shoot came from brainstorming over Brittany & Sam’s unique likes and personalities via the answers to the “getting to know you” questions we ask all our Picsee couples! (SO [...]
sweet stella mae!
Okay – all us Picsee chicks are SO emotional about writing this post…we’ve officially come full circle! We’ve gone from couple - to man and wife – to baby!! Little Stella Mae is the first little babe to be born from a “Picsee documented” union! : ) Jenn and I first met Jessalynn & Hunter on a chilly late November [...]

Ashley and Brad – I am so excited for you to see your sneak peek! Your images are super sweet and I’m so glad that we decided to wait until the sun was ready to shine for us! Ashley had stopped by the studio several weeks back to check things out and we were totally stoked about booking her maternity & newborn [...]
clarkson family fun!
Jennifer and I met the Clarkson’s back in October at their mini shoot. Isabella had just turned two and she was a little apprehensive about Jen and I, but she quickly warmed up with daddy’s help. We couldnt wait to see her again when mom Waleska called for a maternity shoot! The weather hasn’t been [...]
