The "N" Family...

What a wonderful way to welcome Fall! I got to spend a little of my afternoon with this sweet little man and his parents! Grady is just 8 months old...he is just too cute...and is hilarious how he tries his best not to smile! (Despite our very best and silly efforts)...But I was able to catch a few when he wasn't paying attention!

The Birthday Girl....

Happy 1st birthday beautiful girl!! This is sweet baby Ava at just a few days old....

And here she is modeling for her first birthday shoot! What a big girl she is!

The birthday princess... this tiara was only on her head for .2 seconds...and it was my lucky day!

Love this shot...so sweet and innocent.

I have had visions of this for who knows how long....and am so glad Ava was my willing participant! She was so excited to get into that cake!

New Name, New Look, New Ways to do things!

Kustom Kiddies has a new name....introducing Shannon Curry Photography!

My business has been expanding to many things other than just "kiddies" so I thought it was time to branch out...and make things a lot less confusing for everyone involved! (Mainly me! haha)

And to go with the new name, there's now a new website!

Take a peek at http://www.shannoncurryphotography.com/ and let me know how you like it!

In addition, the proofing and ordering process has now gotten easier. You will view your private album of proofs and can then order and pay for your prints directly from the website!

How easy is that?!?

But please remember...your images will only be available for viewing for 10 DAYS! With the new website, I have to pay for my available space which means your proofs can only be up for those 10 days to make room for other shoots. So please get your orders to me before they are GONE! (not really, I never delete files, but you won't be able to see them!)

Enjoy the new website and all of the new changes...

I hope it makes your portrait experience even more enjoyable!

My First (and Only!) Wedding Shoot

My mom's best friend's daughter was married this summer and guess who was asked to be the wedding photographer?!? Me?? I don't do weddings!! I take pictures of babies & little ones & familes...and try to do as little posing as possible....I don't know the first thing about weddings!!

But I survived....I got some really sweet shots....and really did enjoy my first wedding shoot....My FIRST and LAST!! I'm gonna stick to the kids....definitely less stressful!

BabyGassyGooma.com Spring 2009 catalog

A few of my shots are up!! Gretchen, the owner/designer, says that they offer catalogs in print and they are ready for the public!....I can't wait to see which shots of "little model Ava" get picked! She also talked to me about choosing some shots of Ava to be printed to poster-size for a design studio, I believe! How exciting! I also read that lots of celebrities purchase these clothes for their little ones and the clothing line has even been featured in OK! magazine....so maybe next time we see Suri Cruise or Shiloh Pitt they'll be wearing one of these outfits that I photographed!

America's Next Top Model...

How exciting!! My first "commercial" photo shoot!

These images were taken for an online boutique called BabyGassyGooma

for their Spring 2009 collection....coming soon!

Check out their site at www.babygassygooma.com

See more images of Ava's Modeling shoot on my Gallery!

She's just 3 years old....and a natural in front of the camera!! And oh, how that camera just LOVES her...

Trying to Catch Up....and a Cutie!!

My life is one big catch up game.... it seems like I can just never get ahead!! Though I'm sure most of you reading this know exactly what I mean, it's something that just drives me nutty. I guess it's the "control-freak" side of me....I want to be caught up. Like yesterday! But after a much-needed move and also helping Taylor get adjusted and involved in a new playgroup, I finally feel like I'm ready to dive back into work...not that I had much of a break! The last month of pretty much non-stop thunderstorms have helped me gain my sanity back to some degree...

But hey, being busy is great!! Right?!?!

Just wanted to post some shots from one of my favorite little guys at his All American Kids shoot....check out that hair!! Could he get any cuter?!?
