New paint & trim!

So I think I've finally decided on official Ledford Photography colors. What do you think? I'm not real sure what you'd call the brownish/grayish color, I've lovingly named it Bray. I've always loved keylime green, once upon a time when I had a studio and worked in the cookie cutter scene, my office walls were that color green. I was the talk of the town, mainly because my office glowed and you could see it 3 blocks away. :oD But hey! People dropped by just to see if I had actually painted a wall that color! hehe Even today I get people who ask me, "weren't you that woman who had that neon office?"
I'm finishing up wedding work from 2006, Ive got a few more albums to design and 1 wedding left in my 2006 calender. 2007 holds my first ever bridal show, along with the introduction of a new album style, some website surprises and some big news of a photographer merge. The near future holds portrait sessions, which are in full swing. We're offering sessions for every day in Dec, even Christmas day! What could be cooler than a shoot of your kids opening gifts!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I hope this time of year finds you in a warm happy place surrounded by those you love the most. My most sincerest thanks go out to those in the active forces who are away from their families. I wish you a safe and filling turkey day!

This year has been absolutely amazing and I can't thank everyone enough for your support & friendship. This time of year really gets me to thinking about the person I am, my past, my present and my future. The new year is right around the corner and it makes me think about my future goals. I'll share my top 10 2007 goals with you:

The Beautiful Bartlett Family

Who: The Bartlett Family
Where: Welcome Valley Village, Ocoee, TN

Recently I met up with the Bartlett's at a beautiful cabin resort along the Ocoee River at the foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains. I had such a great time with this family, I haven't laughed that hard in awhile! Thank you all for such a great day, lets do it again soon. :o)

This big family of eleven all begin nearly 40 years ago from the unity of this adorable couple.

Stephanie + Richard

A few months ago when Stephanie first called me to talk about photographing her wedding, one of the questions she asked me was would I tell her if her boobs were hanging out of her dress. Instantly I knew I loved her....lol I was right, I met with her and Richard on a Saturday a few days after we spoke, they booked and the very next day we did their engagement shoot. What an awesome couple, they met less than 6 months ago and knew instantly they wanted to spend forever together... fast forward to November 18th to the wedding day.

Nam-o-licous

Getting together with friends is always so much fun. If those friends just happen to be 100 of the countries best photographers, well the results are a down right blast! Chattanooga was the hosting city for this years OSP South, an online forum created by the sexy...er..i mean... talented David Jay. Plans for the event were coordinated by the brilliant Nudd & Holritz. The fabulous Nam stepped in and did a little modeling for the group and I've posted a few spots below...
