Clayton Christmas

Posted on December 4, 2013 by Samantha

It’s that time of year again. Find a tree, bring down the decorations, light it up – it’s Christmas time!! Now that it’s December, I’m okay with seeing Christmas things everywhere. I feel like it started so early this year. I will admit that we took our family photos for our Christmas card in November, but you almost have to in order to have your card done and sent out in time. So before Meredith moves up north, she came over for some Clayton bonding. We even gave the pups a bath right before she came over and gave them some bows. Even though our shoot wasn’t long, we had a lot of fun and now we want to share that joy with you!

Jellybean

For this Thanksgiving, Defy is especially grateful for a little Jellybean. One of our photographers recently had her first baby. This little guy has brought so much joy to so many people and it’s time to share him with you!

Sweet baby Liam is on his way right now to visit all of his family in Colorado for the Thanksgiving holiday. We know they are beside themselves waiting to see his precious face.

Here’s the brand new family of three!

Jellybean the day he was born.

Here he is at one week old.

We met up a few weeks later for another shoot.

Silly in love, true in love, forever in love.

This fall we had the pleasure of a double engagement session. They had many special places for their engagement photos so we split their time into two sessions. Here’s the second part at their wedding site with more fall colors. Between stealing kisses and whispers of love followed by giggles, this couple is headed for a lifetime of perfect true love! We look forward to joining them on their special day this coming winter.

Classic business headshots

Posted on November 6, 2013 by Meredith Ann

We’ve blogged a lot about babies lately so we thought we’d spice things up and bring you a simple classic headshot session. This young man was looking to have headshots taken for use on the internet as well as print. We used the natural backgrounds of mother nature and provided him with a variety of clothing choice. If you are in need of headshots contact us today. We’d love to photograph for you!

Baby Girl with Bright Eyes

This precious baby girl was very bright eyed and with the help of Grandma we found a few smiles between those rosy round cheeks!

Defy owner upgrades to new title – Mommy!

Posted on September 30, 2013 by Samantha

We got these pictures done just in time! At 39 weeks our mommy-to-be walked around the apartment complex and we found some fun spots for some great pictures. We were able to include some props like adorable baby shoes, an adorable dragon, and a personalized “Jellybean” onesie. The dad was able to break away from work for a few minutes to join us for some pictures. He is quite the character! This little one is going to have some fun parents.

Sweet One and Sweet Music

Posted on September 15, 2013 by Samantha

We love babies! Maybe more so now because one of the owners of Defy is about to be a mommy… In any case, we jumped at the opportunity to photograph this sweet one in St. Louis. She was such a sweetheart and did a great job during our shoot. My favorite part was when she got fussy, her loving parents sang a hymn to help calm her down. It made for a sweet photo op. Congratulations to these new parents on their bundle of joy!

Peachtree Senior Fun

Posted on September 5, 2013 by Samantha

With the new school year starting, all the seniors are frantically looking through their pictures to find that special one to put in the yearbook. We enjoyed going to the Marietta Square (a popular place!) for some senior portraits. This 2014 graduate made the trip up to Marietta from Peachtree City so she could have unique pictures that stood out from her friends’. It was fun to see her different personalities come out with her outfit changes, and her mom was there making sure she looked picture perfect. She’s such a beautiful model, it was hard to select just a few pictures to post!

Family photos with a German Shepherd friend

Posted on August 19, 2013 by Meredith Ann

Family photos are one of our favorite things to photograph. We love meeting new families and watching them laugh and play together. This fun family included their German Shepherd in last years holiday portrait session. They picked a local college campus with lots of greenery for a soft background and we had a great time walking around a fountain taking photos and laughing with their little guy! The dog was so well behaved and add the perfect personal touch for this wonderful family.

Real Estate Family Headshots

Posted on August 4, 2013 by Samantha

Since we have a lot of friends and clients in the St. Louis area, we always have families who are willing to house us. Several years ago, to show our gratitude, we took some business headshots for a friend who houses us the most. She works in real estate and wanted some pictures for her business cards. Her husband now works with her so during our last trip up north, we were able to not only get some shots of him, but of the two of them together. They are such a fun couple and we were happy to find a way to pay them back for their selflessness.

These were from the first photo shoot 2 years ago.

She was happy to have her husband join her behind the lens a few months ago.
