Here are a couple of Images

From Montgomery County NC before and after my trip Westward for Imaging USA.

The first one is a quick snap of a double rainbow. It peeped through for about 30-45 seconds before more storms came through. The winds were so bad it sounded like a Tornado was coming, luckily it wasn't but there were some major power outages.
It was taken from my moms front porch.

The second 2 were from a week later when I got back into town the temperatures were down into the single digits. I saw the fountain in the town of Star at the Star B&B. So I jumped out and snapped a couple.

Some photos from Andy

Korina, Breezy and Andy

Breezy & Andy

Our PPA meet up

These were some photos Andy took at Imaging USA.

We had a great time can't ya tell :D

Imaging USA Final Update

Well I am finally back from Imaging USA and at "home" in Norfolk Virgina.
I was too exhausted to update most of the time and then when I could the internet at the hotel was usually down.
So I will just update everything here in one big post.
I was in classes everyday starting at 7am. I got to meet some great and well known photographers.
Just to name a few, 2 that I had wanted to meet the whole time we were in Corpus Christi was Mike Fulton and Cody Clinton of Tricoast Photography. They live just south of Houston TX but usually shoot weddings all over the world and very few actually in Texas lol.
Hanson Fong, Joe Buissink, Anne Geddes, Bob Davis, & Clay Blackmore just to name a few more.
Bob Davis has worked closely with Oprah Winfrey, and photographed Eva Longoria and Tony Parkers wedding.
Joe Buissink has photographed many celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson & Nick Lachey, Brendan Fraser, Kelsey Grammer, Hillary Swank & Chad Lowe, Christina Applegate, Jenny Garth & Peter Facinelli, and Christina Aguilera. BEAUTIFUL work!
We all know who Anne Geddes is!!! She is the one who started the craze with the babies in flower pots etc... Very beautiful work too. She even got a standing ovation in a sold out symphony hall.
Clay Blackmore has photographed Larry King, Forrest Whitaker, Jenna Elfman, Maria Sharapova just to name a few.

The expo was great tons and tons of products to offer. I can't wait to get my frames and bags in to show my clients.
The parties were fun and pretty good food too. And it is official that Imaging USA will be in Nashville Tennessee in Jan. 2010. I can't wait to go back to the Grand Ole Opry where the expo will take place.
If you a photographer and debating attending a PPA event I HIGHLY recommend it. I learned so much and met some AWESOME photographers, many who haven't shot Celebrity Weddings but great None the less!!
I want to thank Andy Contreras for putting up with me as a room mate :D
I truely hope it was as much fun for you as it was for me. I can't wait to see you in Nashville. BTW send me those photos :P I need to post them here.

Tonya I hope you passed your exam and are fully certified.
Don and Dee Barnes & Janice and your hubby, it was great to meet you guys and have dinner. Hopefully we can do it again another time.

To all of the photographers on the Southwest Airlines flight, it was truely fun and memorable. Maybe I will get to see you guys in Raleigh for the school. www.ppofnc.com.

I was also able to meet one of the Biggest Loser contestants while on my journies westward. Can't speak a lot about it but I do have a snapshot to post once I download my images.

And I have to say one thing about Phoenix, if you are going to visit and plan to use the light rail, make sure that the hotel really is just across the street from the rail station as our convention hotel told us that the rail was just across the street. But it was actually 4.5 blocks up and not your normal block either. So it took us about 15 mins to walk to the rail station and then the train ride was supposed to be 15 minutes but I never made it to the convention center in less than 28 mins.

Once I arrived back in NC it was FREEZING literally. I have a couple of photos to post from it too once I get them uploaded.

The kids had fun I do believe with their Mimi and Papa and then Nana.
Mimi and Pa got them 4 wheelers for Christmas, even after wrecking them they kept going back for more. My kids are apparently just like my husband, not afraid of much lol.
Poor Snoopy thought we had thrown her away, she still hasn't adjusted to VA let alone be bounced around. But she is snoring as usual now, so I think she is settling down.

But keep an eye out for new and improved things to come to Breezy Cranford Photography!!
Any way I think that is it except for the photos. So once Andy emails me the ones she took and I upload the others I will get them posted.

A first for me!?!?!

Went to Burger King again today and I find it completely crazy that you have to deposit a token just to use the restroom!?!?!
I understand that they are for customers only but to me that is just strange lol.
Any way, the day was long got up missed the train and it 20 minutes till the next one came.
Then we were late for class, felt like High School again lol.
The class was great! I learned alot about Marketing and can't wait to start implimenting some of it.
My hubby called me so that was nice. And my middle son called to tell "I miss you Mom". How sweet is that?!?! It was a message so I will have to call him tomorrow. But it made me feel loved none the less lol.
No photos as my calibration ran out and I didn't bring my card reader. Apparently I forgot more than I originally thought lol.
Any way that is is for tonight. More tomorrow.
Hopefully I get to update with a SUPER BOWL SUNDAY BOUDOIR SPECIAL!!!

Phoenix Arizona and Imaging USA

I arrived in Phoenix yesterday about 200pm local time. After catching the bus to the light rail, figuring out the light rail tickets and hoping on the train in the right direction, I was on my way for my hotel.
Once in my room I called my husband, mom, sister and MIL (watching kids for me) to let them know I had arrived and that I would talk with them again soon.
I caught the shuttle to Mill Ave. to grab a bite to eat is is now 530 EST and I am starving. After waling around for a few, I finally decided on Hooters I was in the mood from some Wings. :D
I then came back to the room and called it a night. Emailed my clients and got everything in order for today.
On to today.
I went into Downtown a little early grabbed some breakfast and then wondered around with my camera for some shots.
I finally got over to the Sheraton and checked in for my class for Imaging USA.

The class was great! I have learned a lot and can't wait to implement it when I get back to Virgina. And this is only day ONE!!!

So with that said to all of you in Hampton Roads VA, be ready for some great things to come from Breezy Cranford Photography.
Mainly in High School Senior, Baby, Event and Wedding Photography!

I am looking for 2 senior Reps from East Montgomery High School and 2 from West Montgomery High School in Montgomery County, North Carolina.

I am also looking form 2 high school Reps in all High Schools located in the Hampton Roads Virginia area.
Each Rep will receive a Complimentary 120 minute Photography Session including indoor and outdoor poses. 50 referral bookmarks and $5 for every booked referral.
If you are interested in being a Rep please contact me ASAP for more information!
It is about time to call it a night.
Can't wait to update tomorrow!

The Start of the NEW YEAR

It was great to ring in the new year with my husband even though it was by phone. It certainly could have been worse. He called about 2 minutes before the NYC Ball dropped, so we celebrated my time not his. Certainly would have been better for him to be here in person but hey such is the life of a military family right?!? lol

Well not sure what to say about it. I am really looking forward to it. But I forgot my greens and Black Eyed Peas. Sure hope I didn't Jinx myself.
Spent the day unpacking and repacking for the next trip. We are heading to North Carolina to visit family and celebrate Christmas with them. And then I am off to Imaging USA in Phoenix.

I have decided to try and post here atleast 2 times a week. Hopefully with new photos. I am hoping I will learn some better organizational skills at Imaging also as I need to be more organized so that I can get the most out of my time. As I am also planning to workout 5-6 days a week, plus still homeschool the kids and have time for my photography clients.

Would love to buddy up with someone in the area that can help keep me motivated for the workouts, as we have a trip to Hawaii booked in July and I absolutely can NOT go there looking like I do right now. I am a stress eater and have obviously been stressed alot over the last 18 months. So if you are also looking for a workout buddy let me know. We can motivate each other through email and such if need be.
Thanks for reading and I hope you all have a GREAT New Year!

Babies First Birthday Cake Sessions

These Birthday Sessions are usually photographed around the 11 month mark. Some parents like to use these portraits on the invitations for the Birthday Party. The session usually lasts about 30 minutes or so. The child gets practice in for the real Birthday cake and you get great images. You can bring a hat if you so desire. Also if you have a particular cake that you want in the portraits you would need to provide that. But if a generic cake is ok I will gladly provide one that is bakery made.

This is one of the little boys that I had the opportunity to photograph recently. We did a First Birthday Cake Session. He is a doll and was so cute playing in his cake. I sure hope he had a great Birthday Emily. Let me know if you guys need anything.

Scotland

These are just a few of the photos that I took while we vacationed in Scotland. We took 2 weeks to tour the country during our PCS from NAS Corpus Christi TX to NOB in Norfolk VA.

It was absolutely beautiful and the photos do not do the country justice. There is so much to see and do and we only got to see a small portion of it. We flew into London Heathrow and then drove up to Perthshire. We were just down the road from Duchally Farm in a condo at Duchally Hotel in Glen Eagle. The Doves are residents of the Condo. We did get the 10 day Explorer Pass, and it is well worth the money! We also spent a day in Isle of Skye, went down to Edinburgh, visited the castle and wondered the town. Visit http://www.edinburghcastle.gov.uk/ to buy admission tickets. Several days we went through the Glenco Mountains where we saw MANY deer including the one in the photos. We visited Queens View, many lochs such as Loch Tay, Earn, Leven and the Famous Loch Ness just to name a few. Our middle one swears he saw Nessie :D.

Went up to Fort George etc...

With the Historical Scotland Pass we were able to visit Arbroath Abbey, Edinburgh Castle, Broughty Castle, Dunkeld Cathedral, Huntingtower Castle, Lochleven Castle, Stanley Mills, Stirling Castle, Urquhart Castle.

We did a seperate Pass that I believe included, Blair Castle, Glamis Castle, Blair Atholl Distillery another Distillery and some where else. Again worth the money.

We did some hiking, so several Waterfalls BIG and small. Dochart Falls was one of them. We were able to see our first star fish in nature up close. We did see some when we went to Alaska last year but we were on a boat. The one we saw here must have been dying as it was on the shore. BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. Can't say it enough.

I have to go back and see all of the things that we didn't have time for. I hope it is sooner rather than later :D

If you are planning a trip to Scotland this website is a must to check out. http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/index.htm lots of information can be found here.

First Birthday Sessions

I have photographed a couple of First Birthday Sessions recently and wanted to update with a couple of the photos.

This is a service that I am now offering and would love to photograph some girls too. The babies seemed to really enjoy playing in the cakes.

Did you Vote?

I sure did! Once the polls start closing, the kids and I will be working on an electoral map today. I think it will be a great way for them to understand a little more about the election process. I will update later today as we have been swamped.

Maddie and Matts Engagement Session

Engagement Session at Fort Story VA

Finally updating. I have been swamped lately but decided to quickly process a couple of images from tonights session. Can't wait to finish the rest of them.
Maddie and Matt are such a cute, fun and sweet couple. It was a pleasure to work with you guys. I wish you guys all the best in the future and with your wedding. Again if there are any shots that we didn't get let me know and we will get them :D

Boudoir Portrait Party

Would you like your significant other to see a beautiful side of you that's never been seen in print before?

Boudoir themed Portraits can appeal to his fantasy, and your imagination.

Feeling Bashful?
Try getting together with your friends. If you and some close friends have ever wanted some tasteful, intimate or sexy portraits of yourselves, to give to your special someone, but felt uncomfortable going to a studio, why not have a Boudoir Portrait Party?

What is a Boudoir Portrait Party?

A "Girls Night Out" where you plan a party around a boudoir photography theme.

If you have a group of friends who are also interested in boudoir sessions, a boudoir party might be the way to go! Boudoir parties can be held in a suite at a local hotel, your home, your office etc...

What you need to book a Boudoir party:

You will need to have 6 to 8 (5 minimum) participants including yourself, and each guest (excluding hostess)must pay a non-refundable retainer of $50. This retianer will be applied towards any purchase made.

Where Are The Images Taken?

Boudoir images are typically taken in your home, my studio, or anywhere else that you will feel comfortable. Some locations might include your/his office, the boat, a remote outdoor location, his truck, or anywhere else where you feel comfortable and will not be rushed. Your home is often a good location because you have access to all of yours and his things should a creative spark occur during the session.

What Should I Wear?

What you want to convey in your boudoir portraits will largely dictate what you will wear and how you will dress. If you will have bare skin photographed, then you should wear loose fitting clothing (avoiding anything with elastic or wires) around any portion of your body that will be shown to the camera. Tight fitting or elastic clothing leaves indentations and marks on the skin that will show up prominently in the photographs. To get that silky skin look, wear loose fitting clothing prior to your boudoir portrait session. Also avoid sitting or leaning on anything that will leave creases in the skin. The goal in selecting what to wear is to convey a sense of romance, sensuality, playfulness, love, and affection.

Do I have to be Nude?
NO! You don't have to be nude, overly revealing or even in the bedroom, it has more to do with an "attitude" or state of mind more so than how dressed or undressed you are. The idea is to present, affection, romance, and giving.
Always using tasteful and classy props to enhance the feeling of romance and royalty. Boudoir photography is an extremely sensitive area and you must feel comfortable with me during the session. It should be fun and comfortable. You should have a confident feeling of my ability to create lovely images that are flattering to you and within both of our comfort zones. I have a few items (wraps, tulle etc... on hand to use, but definately have your guests bring something from home for a more personal shoot. And check out the other post here about Boudoir Photography in general for a list of items to consider and to get your creative juices flowing.

Who Will See The Proofs?

Only you and whoever you show will see these images unless you agree to the model release and allow me to present some on my websites.

What About Hair and Makeup?
Since you want to look your absolute best you should either plan some significant time to do your hair and makeup, or have it done professionally. Having these services performed professionally takes the worry and anxiety out of the process, but it does add cost to the overall portrait session. If you do not have someone you can trust for these services, then we may be able to offer some suggestions for these services. If you decide to do the makeup and hair yourself, then prepare yourself like you would for a very elaborate night on the town. Makeup should be applied a little heavier than normal, but avoid going to extremes around the eyes.

During the party, your friends will have their Portraits taken with no obligation or pressure to purchase anything, all the while enjoying some wine, champagne or a beverage of your choice, maybe some fruit & chocolate, whatever foods and drink you wish to serve, and you will be able to enjoy conversation and visit with your friends in a non-stressful, party atmosphere. In fact, no purchases will be made at the party. Since the event usually takes place at your home, everyone is comfortable and at their most naturally relaxed selves. Also during the party, you and your friends can browse through some samples from my portfolio to see the various styles and effects I use. There will also be a drawing for door prizes for Free Photo's and gifts!

I will set up my studio in a separate room, and each guest will have their own photo session, with photos taken in several different poses of their choice, with a change or 2 of clothing if they desire. All beautifully done in a tasteful manner.

Hostess Rewards
1. As the Hostess of a Boudoir Portrait Party, you will receive a complimentary 8x10 portrait of your choice.
2. For every $100.00 in sales generated from your Photo Party for addition portraits, albums and CDs you will receive a $20.00 credit to be used as you wish (excluding canvas)
3. Each Guest will receive one (1) 5x7 Group photo.

Refer your Friends and Family
1. For every qualified referral resulting in a Photo Party or photo shoot of any type, you will receive a $20.00 credit to be used at the completion of the referred Photo session. If the person you refer, has the "Boudoir Portrait Party", they will receive a $10.00 credit in addition to the 8x10 portrait and $20.00 credit per $100.00 from additional sales.
2. Referrals must be scheduled within 30 days, and the party or other booking must be held within 45 days to qualify.
Please note: There is a SITTING FEE charged of $50 for each guest with my Boudoir Parties, which makes your session economical as well as fun!

The $50 will be applied towards their purchase once the party is held.

There are a lot of boudoir photographers who can take pictures but few take the time to tell your story through tasteful portraits.
The options are endless and only limited by your imagination. Let us help you open up a world of artistry that is unmatched by the "norm".

Boudoir Photography

Are you looking for that "Special" Christmas or Holiday gift for that "special" someone? Then look no further! A boudoir photography session is the perfect gift! If you aren't sure what a Boudoir Portrait is or think you have to be nude, or a Super Model, please continue to read as that isn't true.
We will discuss Boudoir Portraits a bit here.

What is a typical boudoir portrait?
There really is no such thing as a typical boudoir portrait. Boudoir images are whatever you want them to be. Since everyone wants something a little different, boudoir images vary greatly from person to person.

It is not necessary to be nude or revealing in boudoir photography. It has more to do with an attitude or state of mind than the clothes or lack there of. While some women choose to be nude for a portion of their session, it isn't unheard of for some to stay fully clothed the entire session. Since the usual purpose of boudoir photography is to make a very special and unique gift to a loved one, the primary ideas conveyed in boudoir photography are love, affection, romance, and giving.

What really matters is that you feel comfortable in whatever you chose to do and wear. Whether you are looking for an elegant romantic image or want to turn the heat on significantly, Breezy Cranford Photography can help you achieve the results you desire. You are always in control of your clothing and poses.

Boudoir photography does not have to have a subject that is a super model or physically perfect woman. It does not require the use of extravagant props, and studio space. In fact, the very essence of boudoir photography is the idea that its subject is not a professional model and may not necessarily be in the bedroom. No longer confined to the idea of heavy makeup, lingerie, and the bedroom, the new age of boudoir photography is casual, sexy, and sensual. It refers to a range of looks or styles of photography that can be variously described as romantic, soft, sensual, glamorous, suggestive, semi-nude, and nude.

Boudoir, French for bedroom, refers to images that have themes of romance, sensuality, and flirtation.

Where Are The Images Taken?
Boudoir images are typically taken in your home, my studio, or anywhere else that you will feel comfortable. Other locations might include your/his office, the boat, a remote outdoor location, his truck, anywhere as long as you feel comfortable and won't be rushed. Your home is often a good location because you have access to all of yours and his things, should a creative spark occur during the session.

Who Will Be Present?
You and I will be the only people to know about the portrait session unless you choose to tell someone else. If you would feel more comfortable having a friend present, then by all means ask her along. It is important that you feel completely relaxed and comfortable during the portrait session. If the session takes place some where other than my studio, I ask that you consider the amount of space available for the photo session and ensure there is enough room for you, your guests, any props or furnishing that will appear in the photos, myself, and the photo equipment.

What Should I Wear?
Well that dependas on what you want to convey in the images so that will largely dictate what you will wear and how you will dress. If you will have bare skin photographed, then you should wear loose fitting clothing, avoiding anything with elastic or wires around any portion of your body that will be shown to the camera. Tight fitting or elastic clothing leaves indentations and places on the skin that will show up prominently in the photographs. To get that silky, smooth skin look, wear loose fitting clothing prior to your portrait session. Also avoid sitting or leaning on anything that will leave creases in the skin.

During the portrait session you may wear one or more different outfits. You choose the degree of clothing on or off. I use my artistic ability to capture you in the most flattering poses and lighting scenarios.
Here is a list of some clothing, accessory items, and ideas you might consider
*A mini skirt
*His uniform
*Your uniform
*Stockings
*Silk boxer shorts*
*Items from a pastime you both share
*Lingerie
*An off the shoulder top
*An open front blouse

*A large bath towel (with wet hair)
*A body stocking
*That special dress he bought
*Hats and gloves
*Tight shorts
*A torn t-shirt
*Anything Leather
*Sports paraphernalia
*Romantic symbol (wine, flowers, etc.)
*Something he gave you
*Short or tight tank/t shirts
*High heels
*Flower petals
*Large jewelry pieces*
*Thigh high stockings with/without garters
*Anything tight
*Anything suggestive
*His special gift to you
*A beautiful dress

* A sweater or blouse that sparkles

The list can go on and on.
Use your imagination and be creative!
Boudoir photography is one of those opportunities for you to wear that sexy outfit that you "just can't wear anywhere." It's a time to live a fantasy, and capture it in print. As a photographer and artist it is my job to enhance and flatter you in as many ways as possible, while telling your story and making sure that you remain comfortable during your session. The Boudoir portraits are done with class, elegance, fun, and shows your own personality. An image as personal or revealing as you care to make it. Never compromising your integrity, and above all else, always keeping your privacy and respect a top priority.

Choose a theme that suits who you are, or what you wish to portray be it fashion or fantasy, and lets create an image that speaks for you. Abstracts are especially good for discretion if you're looking to hang your portrait in a highly visible place. In some cases the identity of the subject cannot be recognized. What a great way to be bold yet subtle.

For many mothers to be, a boudoir image can portray the beauty of bringing a new life into this world. That special glow a woman gains during theses months, and the wonders of what a love between two people can create is something worth capturing in such an intimate way that can be put into a story book to enjoy for years to come. We can hold a maternity/boudoir session all at once. If this is something you are interested in please give me a call or send me an email.

An alternate idea you might want to consider is a "Girls Night Out Boudoir Portrait Party" where you plan a party around a boudoir photography theme. Multiple people can be included in the photo session.

Finally, think about your boudoir portrait session from his perspective as you make your decisions to fulfill his fantasy. Plan, prepare well, and most of all have fun. Just think about the priceless look on his face when you present him with this tasteful gift showing your love for him!
