Whatcha all doin down there?? Huh??

Blog readers and followers this is Tammy, Tammy these are my blog readers and followers. You may know some of them. So let me tell you about Tammy. Let me tell ya bout my best friend. Me and Tammy met when we were both students at FCCJ, in Professor Crews Physical Science class. We became friends very fast and we studied together, as Tammy no like science. Well, we ended up graduating together and having a super fun graduation party, most of which I don't recall ever happening.....

Fast forward to present, me and this girl have both been to hell and back, moving from place to place, losing boyfriends, illnesses, tragedy etc. We are the Romeo and Juliet of friendship. If me and her were to stand in a crowd of thousands, one of us would be the only one in the crowd to get pooped on by a bird.

Through all of this, we have each other to call the other one gay for crying. I have trying to trick, persuade and beg her to get in front of the lens for years. And I finally did! Victory...it's all mine!!!

We shot her session at four different places and I was so excited and the irony is that both of our favorite places, was outside her front door.

She is a lady whom I adore, that helps me when I need it, will file my paperwork if I whine about it long enough, and will always answer my text, because I wont call.

I am so very happy that she finally posed for me and had her a session! She has come a very long way and I just could not be happier for her. Finding your path in your own life is sometimes the very hardest thing to do ever, and this girls owns her path, and if cross, you will be trespassing.

It was nice of yall to finally meet.

And if you like to see more of the images from Tammys long over do session, check out the Unobstructed Studios Facebook Fan Page, and view her gallery.

I am sure she'd love for you to stop by....even with out calling first, I do it all the time.

Easter Goodness For All!!!

Easter!!! Easter this year was one of my favorites! Being that it was successful is one thing, but it was also alot of fun, and I met alot of great people!

Easter season, yes season, started off with the cutest little blonde girl!!!

Aliyah! This lovely girl I blogged about earlier in March, she is a smart little girl and she is adorable! Her parents were awesome and they really prepared her for her session. It was maybe one of the fastest sessions I have ever shot, but the result was awesome!

This little girl was adorable, I cannot say that enough! The location was perfect and I ended up shooting at the same location a few more time in that month and in April. Thanks to the Maranatha Baptist Church on Leon Road!!!

Ava was the next Easter session, and was at the same location! I call her Ava Adore, as she is just so cute and comes loaded with the cutest most adorable outfits and accessories I may have ever seen. I worked with her last for her first birthday and just fell in love with her big brown eyes!

She did so well at her Easter session, I could not be happier with the resulting images! Ava has an amazing family and I always just love seeing them at sessions! And her mother just graduated law school, too!! What an accomplishment!

Easter was just a very fun time at Unobstructed Studios!!

Haliegh was after that, and she was a doll! This little girl has got to be the most independent child I may have ever met. She has these gorgeous blue eyes and she is just full of personality. I must say, of all the kids that I work with, no two are alike. Some are quiet and shy, some are outgoing and crazy, some make me sweat and chase them. Haliegh was ready to pack her bags for college by the time her session was over! There is no telling her what or where to do or go! Don't get me wrong she is a very sweet child and you can tell that she is very cared for and loved, on her terms, that is. Those are her proud little feet at the top of this post.

I have an underlying feeling that I was alot like this little lady when I was her age and that surely it wasn't developed later on in life. She was just so funny to watch while at her session! And from this session we had some fabricated Easter cards that I just could not be happier about! They came out so great and vibrant, I wanted to keep one! It was designed with alot of green tones to be cohesive with the location of the shoot, at the treaty oak.

If you haven't been to Treaty Oak Park, go immediately, your missing out!!

Hayden!!! Hayden was my last minute Easter session finale. I had literally and retarded scheduled myself into a 3 session day! Hayden was my lunch time date at the Cummer gardens! And every time I see this little girl, she is more and more beautiful. She has these bright red lips and piercing eyes that just contrast so well with her pale skin.

And even though she wasn't feeling so well, she still did such a great job! She did get a little focused on going up and down the stairs, several times, but this is my workout routine! She was such a doll, as always! The gardens were in full bloom and overflowing with pinks and purple and the green foliage makes this little girl stand out against the brush.

There may or may not have been some eggs in the fountains, but if there were it probably was fun! I will say again that I am very very very luck to have the best clients ever! Ever session I shoot is always so much fun and I just am in love with doing what I do. I am a very lucky girl!

I am hoping every one had a great magical Easter!

Miller Mania





So, I think it is very obvious in my work, I don't work with alot of boys. Just being honest. So, when I was contacted by Jennifer, and I met with her and her three boys, I will admit, I left scared to death. But, never show your clients children your fear. Me and Jennifer sat and talked about her session while her kids played on the playground at the park we met at. I literally looked to my left and her child, was standing on top of one of the playground play thingys.

Never show them fear.



Their session was at Memorial Park, and to be honest, it was hardly worth fearing!! She has such a lovely family, and she is the only girl in it. Yep. Her children are very well behaved and trained to cameras! My favorite. We had some laughs and got some great images! Including the one above. This just expresses, to me, the need for boys to be boys and children to be children, and that is what my work is all about.

Her boys got to the park and were immediately in the trees climbing around. And if that's how the are, that's how they should be. Working for them was a wonderful experience and surely do adore them.

I thought that this is one of the pictures that best describes the Millers, they are fun, a little chaotic at times, but they are fun. You can tell they all have a great love and respect for each other. I did find through out conversations with Jennifer and at their session, she is clearly their calm in the storm and the one in the family you go to when you need to. A very good mother. As shown below.

'Other things may change us, but we start and end with the family'

Jessica and Eric!!!

Jessica (see above) had contacted me to work on some images that someone else had taken at her wedding, and after talking with her through email I felt like I had known her forever. She was referred to me through another client of mine and when I met with her and her husband, Eric I just immediately adored them. We talked at Starbucks for a little while and I had set them up with a session for their post wedding. Which these are fairly common these days.

We talked about locations and what type of feel she wanted and I found a very quaint old farm with some old silos to shoot at. The property owner was at first very apprehensive about me shooting there, because as it turns out, she thought that I worked for the city, who is trying to get her to tear down her silos.

Well, what should have been a conspiracy theory induced conversational red flag, deterred me not! I met with the property handler the day of the shoot to go over all the details, especially regarding safety. She seemed a smidge odd. But I tend to overlook that, as I am odd too.

The shoot was going well, and we were on outfit two. Suddenly things took a turn for the crazy. The property handler, who insisted to me that there were no free range animals, had walked away from all the free range animals to get a dog out of the horse area. It was then that all the free range bulls began to chase us all. And Jessica's husband Eric, really thought standing still and staying calm would deter them, except Jessica, myself and my assistant all were freaking out and yelling from behind the fence that we had never moved so fast to get behind.

I am certain I am having a panic attack, Jessica is certain I killed her husband via bull. He finally waits until the very last possible moment to not die to jump behind the fence.

So, needless to say the session was rescheduled and here you can see a mix of images from both shoots.

All my clients now sign waivers.
