je vois photography

A couple of weeks ago, my sister sent me a frantic text.  Her adorable friend Blakeslee needed an engagement session ASAP.  It just happened to be a week with nothing on the schedule for Saturday morning, so we planned to meet.  Food stylist Blakeslee and accountant Trip couldn’t be more different- but they were so […]

When I was 15, a little girl was born across the street.  This tiny little girl was given a big name… Joan Leslie.  I’ve gotten to watch her grow into that big name.  When she was 3 there were note cards on everything in the house naming them, so she could go ahead and start […]

Last weekend I got to spend a little time with these very adorable kiddos.  The sun was in and out of clouds so we were back and forth between happy and not- you’ll see.  I love how very much their big personalities show in these pics.  Most of the smiles came from watching their handsome […]

I’m a little sad to be posting this wedding.  Cameron is the second gorgeous, sweet, humble, gentle, mild-mannered Ray sister who I have had the honor of photographing on her wedding day.  And she’s the last Ray sister!  I’m sure her parents are relieved, but if all brides and weddings were as beautiful as these, […]

Last week I got to shoot such a fun and different session from my norm!  Stephanie and Harman are newly expecting and wanted to announce it in a fun way.  So they called me to take pictures to use to surprise their friends.  It was SO cold.  But it was so much fun to play […]

About five weeks before my sweet friend Mandy was due, our doctor sent her to the delivery room to bring Corbie Isaac into the world.  After a week or so in the NICU, he got to head home with his extremely happy mom and dad.  I shot Mandy and Scott’s wedding a few years ago.  […]

It’s fun to spend one on one time with families that you’ve known for a long time.  I went to church with the Blacks for about 10 years.  I didn’t get to learn a LOT about them though, until this photo session.  There’s plenty of time to hear about them and go back in time […]

I love the whole Christmas season.  I find myself feeling a little sad on the actual Christmas day because I know it’s all about to be over.  But starting the day after Halloween (or whenever it is) Christmas music on the radio gives me the happy buzz of the Christmas season.  This post includes most […]

I’ve gotten waaaaaaaaay behind on personal life posts.  And as I am mostly caught-up on the blogs for my wonderful clients, I am going to try to get there with my family too. For Labor Day, my whole family heads to the lake, which you already know is my favorite place on earth.  My girls […]

Mims and I met when she was just barely a week old.  It seems like forever ago.  Especially when you see her here… about to walk, bow in hair… big girl.  She’s just as precious, just developing an adorable personality to match her adorable face.  This time she brought her super-stylish mom and dad to […]

One of my favorite clients, Rachel, sent her friend Blaire to me for infant portraits.  They are so very much sisters from another mother.  Their similarities are uncanny!  This family is so cute, as was their house.  Their newest addition, Bill Louis, is a fifth!!  He was just asleep and happy and snuggly the whole […]

A mutual friend sent Tiffany to me a few months ago.  She and her fiance Travis are marrying in West Virginia, where they’re both from.  But they wanted some engagement portraits here, to capture this phase of their relationship.  It really is a super-fun phase!  Tiffany is basically a model with her ease and talent […]

One of the perks of this photography career I seem to have gotten myself into is that I get to go meet babies right after they’re born!  It’s such a precarious time to interrupt a new mom’s budding routine.  But Laura was as relaxed as can be.  I know her from our church, but hadn’t […]

Goodness gracious I thought I’d never get sweet Lauren’s wedding posted!  It was beautiful, with perfect weather and priorities perfectly straight.  SOOOOO many things were changed during the planning process, that I really think it helped Lauren and Billy focus on what the point was… getting married.  I was awfully glad that the actual wedding […]

It’s no secret that we Stegall women love to throw a party.  Hagen and I in particular can get a little silly about a theme.  And, true to form, we celebrated our little friend McKenzie with Hello Kitty everywhere.  Hagen did an awesome job sticking with the traditional Hello Kitty colors and even learned to […]
