Update: New Blogsite

2009-07-08T13:58:00.000-07:00

We've been so busy that we forgot to tell all of our subscribers that we now have a new blogsite. Yep, that's right, a new site that also acts as our blog. We will be (and have been..opps) posting all of our new work there. So, all you have to do is go to our web address www.fusionfotografix.com and you'll see posts from weddings, maternity, newborn, boudoir and children's portraiture.

Not your typical prom photos

2009-04-27T04:43:00.000-07:00

I love it when I'm approached with a fun photo session and was really excited when Sabrina came to me with an interesting idea for her prom photos. Her idea did not include your typical go to the studio, hold hands and smile session. We brainstormed different ideas for locations and decided urban was more the style best suited for she and Jordan. There are so many images to choose from and I can't wait for Sabrina and Jordan to see them all. Here's a sneak peek.

This shot was taken when someone driving down the street yelled out, "You two should be on the cover of a magazine."
This was part of a dancing sequence they performed for me. By the way, they are really great dancers.
Sabrina had a really interested joke to tell but I cannot repeat it here.
BAM!
Another part of the dancing sequence. They were really working it.
Stairs are wonderful.
Graffiti, graffiti everywhere....
GQ and ANTM..
Sassy.

Kids : B & E

2009-02-26T16:24:00.000-08:00

These gorgeous kids and their mom knew exactly what to give their Dad for Valentine's Day and we were so happy to oblige. It was a big surprise, and a big hit too! The whole family will be back next month for a family session, and we can't wait!

Newborns: Daniel

2009-02-24T04:59:00.001-08:00

Once again, I was an important part of a newborn's life. This is Daniel, son to Amber and Danny Kirkman. Not only is he a beautiful baby but he was such a joy to work with. After his little tummy was full, he slept the rest of the session and allowed me to capture some beautiful moments of him sleeping. Amber, this is the photograph I captured as your eyes filled up with tears. Yes, he does look like an angel. Amber and Danny, here is a sneak peek into Daniel's session.....

Maternity : Faye

2009-02-21T07:52:00.000-08:00

We love shooting on location and were thrilled to take this maternity session outside. Faye was completely open to our ideas and we had so much fun scouting new places. Baby Evie is due in March, but she won't slow Mommy for long! Faye is an awesome wedding coordinator and we are lucky to be working with her this year. Share her website http://coordinatingdreams.com/ with every stressed out bride you know! :)

Fun with fingerpaints...

And a different perspective... Thanks Faye. We had a blast with you. I hope Evie gets your sense of humor!!!

Awaiting Baby Blake...

2009-02-19T09:35:00.000-08:00

We love photographing bellies and little bundles and lately we've been getting our fill! This beautiful family will be blessed with a baby boy in March, and big sister Makayla is very excited.

Love this study of the female form at it's most beautiful...

Told you she was excited! And we can't wait to meet baby Blake!

Newborns: Mr. J

2009-02-11T06:41:00.001-08:00

We had a casting call for newborns and Mr. J's mom contacted us wanting her little man to be one of our models. To be as young as he is, he's the same size as my 3 month old. It took a while to get him to fall asleep but I got that shot I was going for. Thanks Jennifer for letting us use him as our model. He's beautiful.

In Love : Mandy & John

2009-02-08T09:40:00.000-08:00

We first met Mandy and her mom Lesa at a wedding show several months ago and were sooooo hoping they would call. Mandy left our booth that day in tears, so excited about her wedding day. Our kind of bride!

Mandy & John are tying the knot this June and braved the cold in downtown Winston for their engagement session. We weren't able to meet with John during our consultation, so we had a thing or two to learn about him. 1) He doesn't like to pose. 2) He does like to kiss on Mandy, and that suits us just fine.

Mandy, we'll see you in the spring for your bridal session!

Seniors: Savannah Williams

2009-02-07T17:54:00.001-08:00

I met up with this beautiful young lady, Savannah, for her senior portrait session. This gal is so comfortable in front of the camera it's amazing. Savannah, here's just a sneak peek from your senior session. Way to rock this session!

Newborns: Emma

2009-02-07T17:20:00.000-08:00

Once again, I had the pleasure of photographing a precious little baby. Emma was the ideal newborn and slept for most of our session. She has a ton of hair and looks like a baby doll. I just wanted to snuggle up with her but I let her go home with her mom and dad.

Newborns : Bergon

2009-02-04T09:58:00.001-08:00

Little Bergon was happy as a clam all wrapped up in our blankets and his parents' arms. He snoozed through our entire session (almost), which made us all very happy! It just doesn't get any sweeter than this.

For Amy...

2009-01-27T16:07:00.001-08:00

The absolute best part of our job is developing relationships, even friendships, with our clients. The next best thing is that everything we do is about celebration, which is why this posting is so difficult for us.

One of our brides, Amy, passed away last week from cancer. If you knew Amy, you were blessed. She was pure sunshine, and her warmth touched everyone around her.

Our hearts go out to her husband Jones and her family. We are so very honored to have played a small role in perhaps the happiest day of her life.

In honor of Amy, a portion of all our 2009 Wedding Collections will be donated to the American Cancer Society. Please join our cause to help put an end to this terrible disease.

Newborns: Davis

2009-01-19T17:38:00.000-08:00

I absolutely love photographing newborns and this little man was no exception. He's fresh out of the oven and that's the way we like them. He slept most of the time and we were able to get some really good stuff. Amy and Todd, thank you for bringing him in to see us. I can't wait to see how much he grows this year. We'll see you very very soon!

Personal: Reflections

2009-01-04T17:23:00.000-08:00

I have had several people ask to see some personal photos of my children so I went digging through my external hard drive and found some to share. Children grow so quickly it simply amazes me. Here are some from the past 2 years....

This is my baby bump with my baby boy Isaac. Shower view from my perspective....
This is Isaac 6 days after his birth....
This is my 92 year old grandmother. My son will most likely never get to know what a wonderful woman she is but he'll have a photograph to always cherish.

This is me with Isaac. He's 7 weeks old and very happy to be in mommy's arms.

These are photos of my daughter Reagan. Look at how much she has grown in 2 years....

I wish you all a blessed New Year.

2008-12-10T12:18:00.001-08:00

Patrick and Lauren are getting married in Charlotte next July and they are our very first engagement session for 2009 couples. They braved a cold and windy day for their session and had no problems snuggling up! These two are adorable and so photogenic. We are so excited for the wedding!

Maternity: Emily Borden

2008-12-03T17:10:00.001-08:00

Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Emily's maternity session. She's having a boy and is due in January. Can you believe how tiny she is to be 32 weeks pregnant? Emily and James, congratulations on your pregnancy and upcoming new addition to your family. He will be a blessing in your life. Enjoy every moment and we'll see you for some newborn photos :)

Newborns: one of our own

2008-11-12T12:54:00.000-08:00

Hello friends, family, and wonderful clients. I write to you from the comfort of my home. I'm happy to say that our little man, Isaac Gray, made his appearance Sunday, November 9th, 2008, at 1:43 p.m. Everything went smoothly with my labor and delivery. After 6 minutes of pushing he was here.

Isaac's big sister, Reagan, has welcomed him with open arms, lots of hand holding, and tons of sweet kisses. She sits in her Barbie chair, pats her legs and says "a chair, a chair" which is Reagan's way of saying she wants to hold him. I am absolutely thrilled she has responded so positively to him.

Many of my clients have either called or emailed me asking that I post some images of him so that they can see this little bundle I've been toting around for the past 9 months. Well here he is...Mr. Isaac Gray Henderson. One of our own.....

Sandra's Maternity Portraits

2008-11-08T14:08:00.000-08:00

We almost ran out of time, but we managed to make room for Sandra's maternity portraits (yep, that's Fusion's Sandra) with only a couple of weeks to go. She was game for anything I wanted to do, and she looks amazing, so we took things in a different direction and opted for a fresh approach.

Meet the modern maternity portrait. These were taken with natural light and strobe in our studio lobby.

Just a touch of boudior...

This sweet one is for Billy

And this is little Isaac...
We headed outside for a (very) quick natural light session as the sun was setting

My absolute favorite. Sandra looks beautiful.

Miss Reagan came out to play with mommy. These shots were captured within five minutes. No really, five minutes. Two year olds have extremely short attention spans :)I love the golden light at sunset

And one quick shot with Billy while Reagan was preoccupied with keys

I am happy to announce that Issaac arrived safely this afternoon. I can't wait to meet him tomorrow in the hospital!

Weddings: Bob and Samantha

2008-11-04T17:49:00.000-08:00

Bob and Samantha were married at the beautiful Pinelake Pavillion in Mebane in an outdoor ceremony. Samantha and her father arrived in a horse drawn carriage and vows were exchanged at sunset. Simply gorgeous! We were honored to be a part of such a lovely wedding and loved getting to know Bob & Sam.

Meet Wyatt...

2008-11-04T12:58:00.000-08:00

Wyatt is a typical two year old...full of energy and a mind of his own. He is also a sweetheart! This image with his OSU cap is for his grandparents :)

Newborns: Aiden

2008-11-01T15:24:00.001-07:00

Aiden's grandmother called me this week to set up a newborn session of her absolutely adorable granddaughter, Ms. Aiden. This little lady was so good to work with and such a good poser. A big thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Brewer for bringing this little angel in to see me. She is way too cute for words.

My favorite of the day....
Nothing like a snoozing baby all wrapped up...

I can't wait to watch this little girl grow up.
