Helloooo, 2010!!

I had an amazing afternoon yesterday at the Nashville bridal show.  I met so many great couples planning their 2010 and 2011 weddings.  I love this job!  Thanks to everyone for coming out and making it such a great day.

And now, for a little picture pleasure:)  Crystal and Greg were married in October, and also chose to do a day-after session when they returned from their honeymoon, to get even more great shots in their wedding attire.  We met at a beautiful mountain location, and I just LOVE the results!

Top 4!!! Online Trunk Show

I am totally beside myself-ya’ll voted me right into the top 4!  I just want to thank you all from the bottom of my happy heart, for taking the time to support my photo.  The winner should be announced today, and I just might wet my pants if I don’t find out soon!  This was the FIRST photo contest I have ever entered, and I now know why-I don’t do well with suspense.  Huge congrats to the other 3 lovely ladies in this with me-you are all incredibly talented.

Since there were soooo many of you who wanted to get your hands on your own gorgeous Matilda Jane Clothing, I got together with “the most fabulous trunk-keeper in all the land” Emily, and I am hosting an Online Trunk Show starting…..right…..about…….NOW!!!!  To place your order, simply go to the website, make sure your size is available, email me what you want along with your phone number, and I will take it from there.  Orders must be placed by Tuesday, December 15th, so get those orders rolling in!

Biggest thanks of all goes out to the girls at MJC for giving us this opportunity to get creative!  YOU ROCK!

ShOw Me SoMe PhOtO lOvE!!!!!!

My most favorite clothing line for my sweet little girls is Matilda Jane.  It just doesn’t get any cuter than this.  So when I saw they were having a photo contest, of course, I jumped at the opportunity.  I was floored to find I was among a handful of fabulously talented photographers to participate in the PhOtO LoVe contest!  Here’s the scoop on the contest:  each of the photogs was sent the same dress, and it was up to us to put our own spin on it.  What’s the prize, you ask?!?  Why, it’s a trip to the Spring Fashion Show AND, drumroll please…..the Spring collection!!!!  For those of you who know me, you know I totally obsess over things like this-planning, finding the perfect concept, location, props, etc., so after weeks of brainstorming, I had my Big Idea (any Pinky Dinky Doo fans?)  The big kicker was, I could only submit-gasp-ONE photo!  After careful deliberation, here’s the one I decided to go with:

I hope I made the right choice!  If you think so, please show me some PhOtO LoVe by visiting http://matildajane.typepad.com/ and voting for my pic.  As of this post, the images have yet to be posted, but earlier today, it was announced they would be online tonight!

December 1, 2009 - 11:32 am Tonya Machado - Kellie, This is beautiful! I went to the website to vote. Still not up but instantly Im a huge Matilda Jane fan! Do you ever host trunk shows or know where the nearest one is please let me know. I would love to attend!

December 1, 2009 - 2:47 pm admin - Thanks so much Tonya! Yes, I know the best trunk keeper in all the land, lol! Her name is Emily Carwile, but she just had a baby about a week ago, so I don't when she will be doing another show. I can email you her info, and you can place an order with her without having to be at a show-although you really do need to see these beauties up close!

December 1, 2009 - 3:06 pm Natalie - Wow! Well you definately won! She is so pretty.... like you! She has her own look! She really looks like a professional model here! Great Job!

Elizabeth & Christian, 6.20.09

LOVE these two!!  They were married on what was, quite arguably, THE hottest Saturday in June, at Cheekwood, but what a beautiful ceremony it was.  The love and support Christian and Elizabeth have from their friends and family was so inspiring, and I know they will have a beautiful life together.  Thanks again for sharing your day with me.

This & That

Really?!?  Has it been over a MONTH since I have posted anything?  Time does fly, and it seems it has been going at warp speed this Fall.  Tomorrow, I will finish up the 2009 wedding season with Sarah and Shane’s wedding.  It has been a glorious year, and I feel so blessed to have worked with all the great couples and families I have met.  2010 is already gearing up to be a great one, and I am looking forward to what’s in store.

I have so much to blog, so I decided to just start at the top of the list and work my way down:)  Hope you enjoy!

Michelle, A Beautiful Bride.

Can’t say enough nice things about this girl.  Gorgeous, sweet, funny-I had a blast working with her and Cody.  They were married in October (pics to come soon!)

Taylor, a beautiful bride.

Taylor and Mac were married a few weeks ago, so I can finally share her incredible bridal portraits with you!  No doubt about it, Taylor is gorgeous.  Who made her look extra fabulous on this day, you ask?  Why, none other than the talented Angelisa Farmer and Faccio Bridal!

October 20, 2009 - 11:35 pm Jane Freeman (Taylor's aunt) - Kellie, you did a great job with all of the photos. Every bride should have you capture all the great moments. You are such a professional not only in your work but also your personality. It was a pleasure meeting you. Thanks for making Taylor and Mac's engagement photo session and wedding day so special. Jane

Kacee & James David, 5.30.09

Kacee and James David were married on a warm, sunny day (remember those?) back in May.  I loved everything about this day, and Kacee and James David were awesome to work with.  They were married on Kacee’s parents’ beautiful farm, overlooking the great wide open.   The weather was perfect, and I had such a great time meeting both their families and friends.  Here are some highlights from their big day!
