Tutu Fun

We are now offering "Tutu Fun" Theme Portrait Sessions!  Little girls love playing dress up and a trunk full of tulle ballerina tutus in a rainbow of colors, magic wands, gloves, tiaras, beads and other fun props makes this a fun filled session.   

Here's a few of my favorite pictures from Jazlyn's Tutu Session:






Dress up sessions are so much fun and girls from 6 months and up can play!

Jackson Turns One!

I met Jackson and his mom, Dee, at Elyse's Birthday Party last year.  It was fun photographing his birthday and meeting his family and friends.  He has amazingly blue eyes and a bright smile which he kept me on my toes trying to capture.  Here's one of my favorite images of him as he was crawling into his play house.

The "smash cake" lived up to it's name as he dug into it and ENJOYED!

Happy New Year to All of You! We would like to thank all of our clients, friends, and family for supporting our efforts with an outstanding 2007! We feel really blessed by all the awesome people we met and all the new friendships we made this past year! And on top of it all, we really had a blast doing what we love - capturing your moments for you to enjoy for a lifetime!

With the start of 2008, we are unveiling our new website! We were experiencing some issues with our old website with the different internet browsers, so we have decided to unleash all new flash sites from our web partners at http://www.portfoliositez.com/ and man do they rock! We have split our wedding and portraits into two separate sites, either of which can be accessed from our splash page at http://www.inthemomentphotographs.com/ (our old site is now down, so http://www.mcwarrenphoto.com/ now links to the new site as well).

We are still in the process of adding new images to our galleries, but all information is current, so check them out!



We have restructured our wedding pricing and package offerings to bring you all day wedding coverage so that we can best cover your event. Our new pricing allows us to offer high quality hand made albums from Leather Craftsman, KISS, and Willowbook at reasonable prices. We are continuing to offer our a'la carte pricing so that you can build your own wedding package. All album packages include your hi-resolution digital files for your own personal use! We are also offering canvas gallery wraps in a number of sizes as well as other fine products. Contact us for details!




We have also made some changes to the portrait packages that we offer. Now all of our portrait sessions include a custom designed coffee table book featuring 25 of your favorite images from the session in addition to the on-line slideshow and proofing gallery. All of our special multi-session packages now include a custom designed storybook album!

Once again, thank you all for your support and friendships! None of this would be possible without those!

Sunday we had the priviledge of photographing the beautiful wedding of Christy and Greg. The day started cold and rainy, but the weather was not about to dampen the spirits of Christy, Greg, and their children and families!

Starting early in the morning, the girls headed for the ceremony at Barnsley Gardens in the limo after a trip to the hairdresser.

(Click pictures for a larger view)



The Town Hall at Barnsley Gardens. Christy thought it looked like something out of "Little House on the Prarie"



The proud ring bearer showing off the rings that Greg & Christy designed using the 5 birthstones of the family members. They really were beautiful and the symbolism was just perfect.



"Girl Shoes"


Shortly before the ceremony, Christy received a phone call from one of her sisters that was not able to make it for the wedding. You could see the love and joy on her face even though the call was followed by lots of nervous energy as she waited to walk down the isle.



The beautiful bride was escorted by both Mom and Dad! The ceremony was wonderful, intimate and very meaningful with lots of emotional moments.





With this ring I thee wed...



And the first kiss!


"Everybody Dance Now!" At the end of the ceremony, they broke out with a great little dance step!





Greg & Christy with their children doing what families do... Having FUN while we try to take their picture!

The rain turned to a thick mist just after the ceremony, so we quickly took advantage of the break in the weather to get some fun shots of the couple at the Barnsley ruins. I wish we could have had more time here, but Christy would have frozen and her dress would have been a mess if we had! None the less, we love these shots of this very loving couple!














We headed back to their house for the late afternoon reception. Upon catching up with the couple after leaving Barnsley Gardens, we found Christy removing red wine stains from her wedding dress! Apparently a glass of their favorite red wine, the phone ringing and the dog jumping on her upon her return was an accident waiting to happen!



It was also her sister's birthday, so a surprise Happy Birthday and cake were in order! (Pam, enjoy being 34... again!)




More pictures of a couple deeply in love...







How long do we have to wear this stuff...



Greg and Christy had this platter as a guest book at the entrance to the reception. A very cool idea!




These rings are just gorgeous! The Christmas tree was covered with these snowflakes, enough for everyone to take one home. There were snowflakes for Love, Believe, Wish, and Dream.



Christy is not into sweets so Greg got to choose the wedding cake and they had White Chocoalate Rasberry Cheescakes from Icy's Cheescake. They really are "The Taste of Heaven" as it said on the box. One of the boys could not wait to get his slice...





The toasting glasses were as special as the toasts made by the bride and groom.




Christy and Greg had made a CD for everyone of the songs they fell in love to. During the reception, Christy sang one of her favorites to Greg, "I Could Not Ask For More" by Sara Evans. This was a very touching moment during the evening!




The whole family gets in on the singing act! Christy's Father and Sister are also wonderful singers and made the evening such fun.



Greg looks so happy and in love as he dances the first of many dances as husband and wife.




Mom and Daughter, what more needs to be said!



Christy and Greg, thank you so much for including us in your celebration of love with you and your families! We had an awesome day capturing these moments for you! We hope you enjoy this brief preview from your day! We can't wait to show you the rest of the images and to get you in front of the camera again!
