Stephanie Champy’s Homecoming

Monday, November 7, 2011

New backround :)

So yesterday I had an awesome find! A free backround! I love the pattern on it and of course, it needed to be tested out. That’s the my little man is for! I also bought some new hardwood flooring. All and all it think it looks nice together Smile

Homecoming in Baumholder, Germany

This is the third homecoming that I went to, and the first one that wasn’t my own. I was just as emotional and excited though. I was so grateful for the opportunity to take some photos that will be a memory you will never forget. Here are some of the shots I took from yesterday.

It’s been a while since I updated on here

So I have officially MOVED to Germany! I have been here for about 2 months. It’s not so bad!

I don’t get out of the house much because I haven’t took the test for my German license yet.

I really need to though!

Today I finally broke out my equipment. I haven’t had it out since July 2011. Here it is almost at the end of October!

I was feeling a bit rusty at it, but all and all I think I got a few great shots of my son, Brayden.

Easter pictures from the Gardner children

I have a few Easter pictures of Reighliee and Brayden to share. My oldest, Jamison wasn't that interested in posing for pictures for me this year. I'm thinking it is because I have been in front of him with a camera for 8 years now! lol Enjoy and I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday!

Train Depot

Today "looked" like it was going to be a fabulous day to take pictures outdoors. Well let me tell you, it was so WINDY and it made it feel so cold out! My fellow photographer, and friend Mandy (from Hartman Photography) decided we wanted to take pictures anyways. I mean... who will take pictures of ourselves besides ourselves? lol So we teamed up and decided to do a session with me taking her pictures and her taking mine. So now you can have a glimpse of yours truely :)

Bee's Bowtique

With homecoming approaching, I wanted to find Brayden the perfect outfit for when he sees his Daddy again. The last time they were together, Brayden was only 2 weeks old! He will be 8 months old when he returns. So I turned to a friend who makes and sells clothing for children! I had bought Brayden's Christmas stocking from her as well and LOVED it! I also bought a little ACU dress and bows for a baby shower gift. Please check her out for any custom items you can think of!

Best Bathroom Picture

So my friend (and fellow photographer) Mandy was over at the house yesterday. And while in the bathroom she saw a picture of my son Brayden in his diaper in there. That's when it came to her. She said that I should stack up some toilet paper and take pictures of Brayden with them to hang in my bathroom! haha Needless to say, that night I got out my camera and the extra TP and sat my little naked baby man on the backround with it. He is such a ham! And I swear he could be the next Gerber baby. Or maybe I am biased since I am his Mommy. Seriously though, he is the most happy baby I know! Thank you Mandy for the idea! This is so getting printed and framed for my bathroom!




Troup Family Session

Tonights session was an absolute blast! James and Madison were such a joy to photograph. They were up for any pose and even contributed some of their own styles too. Not bad for an almost 8 and almost 4 year old :) Their mom wrote on my facebook page that they were even talking about the session on the way home. All and all, a VERY successful session!
