Adam and I have spent the last couple of weeks reflecting on 2010. It was a great year for us in so many ways!
We are constantly amazed at our clients and how wonderful they are. I think I disappoint people often when they ask to hear any wedding bridezilla stories and I don’t have a single one!! I went through this weekend and chose some favorites from our year’s worth of work. It was loads of fun to look back on the people and places that we’ve gotten to know. I posted several of our favorite images on our Facebook page, so click here to see the full album.

In the midst of a great year of work, we have been figuring out this thing called parenting and enjoying watching our son go from tiny, still baby to crazy, climbing, sweet, adorable 1-year-old. Our hearts are absolutely bursting with love for him, and we’ve really enjoyed this new stage of life!! Needless to say, we’ve taken more than a couple of photos of him this year!

As we start planning and scheming for 2011, I am getting so excited. We are looking at some exciting changes, and are thrilled at our line-up of weddings for the year. Have I mentioned yet that we have THE greatest clients!?!
So now it’s your turn. I hear from people all. the. time. that they read our blog secretly. More than anything, I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to hear from you!
If you are reading this (yes! I mean you!), **please** leave a comment to let me know who you are and what you’d like to see here in 2011.
~ Are you a bride planning a wedding and looking for a photographer? or just inspiration for your wedding?
~ Are you a professional or aspiring photographer and would like more technical info about how we shoot?
~Do you just like to look at weddings and pretty pictures?
~Would you like more details on our brides’ planning …e.g. vendor info, links to where they got ideas, etc?
~Do you want more photos of cute little boys in elephant costumes?
Can’t wait to hear from you!
I came across your facebook page this morning, linking from a photo you took of my friends Drew and Jenny and their new little girl Emma. Then I noticed that Drew’s sister (in CA) and my friend Sam (in TN), friends from very different times in my life, were both fans. When I linked to your website and blog for a closer look, I realized that I recognized you…I’m pretty sure you briefly dated my college roommate’s brother, and that we might have met roughly a decade ago in SC. And then I remembered recognizing you in a photo from Cottage Living a few years after that (maybe? Did you work there?). So…I pretty much realized that I have accidentally been following your career since you were in college. And I have to say, bravo! I love your photos, and I love the strange set of circumstances that have led me to your work again and again over the years. Congrats on what looks to be a pretty great life you’ve created for yourself!
Hoping you’re not weirded out,
Kacy
Love the elephant picture! Elliot is so expressive and I love all of your pictures of him. Let me know when you are going to be in Birmingham this spring. I would love to meet you somewhere to take some pictures of my belly. Miss you!
Hi Mary! I think you know I read your blog, but I come looking at someone WAY AHEAD of me in the field for ideas and inspiration and the occasional technical nugget…like how you get that awesome sun flare??!! I also just plain love your work so it is just beautiful to look at and that is fun for me!
P.S. Can I just say I love Kacy’s comment! It really is a small world huh?! (I know her through Drew too…)
Hi Mary! I’m one of those I-always-look-at-your-blog-secretly girls and I LOVE it because I love seeing how talented you are and I love to see that you are really doing what you love…And your sweet boy is just too too cute.
Hey Mary! I’ve been following your blog for a year or so. I’m always blown away at how natural and “in the moment” your pictures are. Any advice you could give to aspiring photographers on how to nail these candid moments would be much appreciated! Thanks!
love the blog. love you! super excited about having you take our wedding pictures!
What I’d like to see on your blog this year??? My engagement photos!!! Hahaha. Now if I can just find a man to be in the photos with me:) I love your work, Mary, and am thankful that you’ve captured some wonderful moments in my life and the life of the Carson family thus far. Thank you for sharing your gift with so many people. Megan
Mary! I am sitting here about to go to bed just anxious for our July 30th date to get to hang with you! I am so excited to finally meet you and have a big time! I am giddy thinking of how lucky I am to have you as our photographer
Simply cannot wait!
Mary, yes I would love more pictures of Elliott in cute elephant outfits and yes, I just love looking at your pretty pictures. But I always love to learn more photography tips for my own knowledge. You’re the best – TN loves you as much as Cali …. cant wait to see y’all again!
