Black Friday 2011 | Seymour, Indiana Photographer | Marinda Fowler

Marinda — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 14:31:11 +0000

It’s that time of the year again! How many of you will actually go out in the dark and cold to fight your way through the crowds and score the best deal possible on the item your child wants most for Christmas morning? Yeah, me too. Even if I don’t buy a single thing, it just feels wrong to miss the chaos. Last year, I was sick and couldn’t go. I felt it. I ached to go out (as well as aching from a cold). It kicks off the holiday season for me. Yes, there are a ton of people wanting the same little gadget that the stores have very limited supplies of. Yes, I lose sleep. Yes, there are always a few bad apples in the day. However, I have noticed over the last few years that there is also a shopper’s camaraderie for those few hours and the majority of people are in a festive mood… and I actually have fun!

So with that said, I plan to be out shopping with all the other fools in the wee hours of Friday morning. Which means that I will be doing things a little different for my Black Friday shoppers (mainly because I do not want to police my email that day!). You may purchase your Black Friday gift certificate right here from this blog post. You will simply click on the little yellow “buy now” button below. It will take you to a PayPal screen where you can complete your purchase with a credit card, debit card, personal check, or your PayPal account.

Easy peasy. Christmas shopping for that hard to buy for person on your list = DONE! Or just use the certificate for your own family session in 2012.

What to Wear Wednesday: Family Portraits! | Seymour, Indiana Photographer | Marinda Fowler

Marinda — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 14:00:11 +0000

I am frequently (usually in a very panicked voice) asked “What should we wear?!” in reference to family portrait sessions. I always tell my clients that it’s really up to them and what their family feels comfortable in. Which inevitably results in my lovely clients all pushing the easy button… white or black shirts, denim and flip flops for all! Oh dear. lol

So I thought it would be fun to have a revolving set of inspiration for upcoming photo sessions. This week, I’m focusing on family portraits as I’ve gotten several calls and messages about the upcoming fall photo season. This week’s W2WW (What to Wear Wednesday) would also make for a super fun boy/girl outfit combo for an engagement session!

I encourage you to step outside of the boring matchy-matchy (and white shirt/jeans) combo and seek out lots of fun colors and textures for your next photo session. What you wear can make or break your images. Take your upcoming photo session to the next level and show off your family’s killer style!

All of these lovely items can be found at Old Navy (minus Dad’s shoes which can be found at Piperlime).

I got to photograph this little sweetheart when she was just two weeks old. That’s when I met her family and we became friends. It’s such a rewarding part of my job to be able to meet such amazing families and to be accepted into those families.

It’s also truly rewarding to watch my littlest clients grow up right before my camera.

Little Miss had a costume party for her first big bash. There was a vampire, a cowgirl, an angel, a cow and even a football player all in attendance at this party. Pink balloons galore. And her cake? Yeah, it was amazing!! Her very talented mommy made it for her.

Dear Miss H… you were the cutest little birthday princess! I wish you a very happy first birthday and can’t wait to watch you grow throughout the next year!
xoxo,
Marinda

Let’s catch up: Edition one | Seymour, Indiana Photographer | marinda fowler

Wow. I cannot believe how badly I have neglected my sweet little blog!!

Confession: I always add sneak peeks to albums on Facebook because it’s faster and easier. However, Facebook just takes away something from my images and I want my clients to look their absolute best! So, let’s get some of their gorgeous faces here on the blog, k? Ok!

Here are some of my favorites from the last month.

I will be adding more recent favorites in additional posts! Be sure to come back and look for them.

andrea + brent = happily ever after | crothersville & seymour, indiana wedding photographer | marinda fowler

On September 18th, Andrea & Brent tied the knot. You might remember them from their engagement session over the summer. They had a beautiful wedding and a fabulous reception. They were surrounded by lots of their family and friends.

Andrea and Brent were a dream to work with. They chose to have a private “first look”, which ranks way up on my love the bride and groom scale! When doing a private first look, you have the opportunity to see each other for the first time privately (well, minus little ol’ Marinda haha) without a church full of people watching you. You also can then proceed with the family portraits before the ceremony. Because let’s face it… after the ceremony, your guests, bridal party and even you just want to get out of the church and on to the party/food!

So, I was beyond thrilled when Andrea and Brent said they wanted to do a private first look!

Ok, enough of my blabbing… here are just a handful of my favorites from their beautiful wedding day!

As you can see, they truly had a gorgeous day. I am so blessed to be able to document such an important day in the lives of two people.

Just a quick snap of the happy couple and myself, courtesy of a wedding guest (thanks Kelly!!). Note to self… have someone snap a photo at the beginning of the day when I don’t look so worn out! haha

Andrea and Brent, I wish you a long and happily ever after!

xoxo,
