Rice Family

We had to reschedule our session with the Rice family, from an overcast, rain-threatening day that never dropped a single raindrop and would have been perfect, to what turned out to be the hottest day of the summer. But they were all troopers and faced the heat with grace and aplomb! 

We had a lot of fun with Will, Jess, and Leah, at some of our favorite spots, and even more fun scoping out some new spots with them. They're such a funny, tight-knit family, and we loved watching them interact, tease each other, and love on each other. One of the best things about our job is being able to capture those fleeting moments, freezing them in time and giving our families something precious to hold onto and look back on. 

Rice family, we had the best time hanging out with you, making you laugh, and seeing your family dynamic through a lens. Thanks so much for letting us capture your memories!

We have reached the end of our nomination period! Thank you so much to every one of you who has nominated someone special! Goodness, friends... You guys really know some awesome people! We have loved having the privilege of knowing their stories, even a small part. We wish we could take pictures of everyone!

Over the next week, we will be looking over each submission and choosing our top three, then we will post them for you all to read and vote on! We'll explain the guidelines for voting as well.

We're loving this opportunity so much, we've decided to make it a biannual event! Every spring and fall, we'll be giving you the chance to bless someone you love, admire, and appreciate. So if your submission doesn't get chosen this round, don't worry: you'll have another chance in a few months!


Stay tuned next week for the big reveal of our finalists!

Welcome!

Welcome to our brand new blog! Here, we'll be sharing fun stories and photos from our sessions, behind the scenes and sneak peeks, as well as tips and advice for everything from how to pose to what to wear (and what not to wear)!

To kick off this exciting new stage in our business, we are going to be offering a FREE photo session to one very special individual or family. Not just anyone though! We would like YOU to help us choose.

Think of someone you know. Someone really awesome and amazing. Someone who you would love to bless, someone you'd love to give a reason to smile. To say cheese, even. This is the person or family we want to photograph!

Maybe this person has gone out of their way to help their community. Maybe it's a coworker you've watched being awesome day in and day out. Maybe it's a client, a student, a volunteer, or even a family member; whoever it is, this is your chance to say, "Hey, I see you being amazing over there! How about we capture that and hang it on a wall?"

If you can already see that person in your mind, here's what you do next:

Submit a brief explanation by September 15th - either via our Facebook inbox, or at info@ms2photography.com - telling us why you think this individual or family is deserving of a free photo shoot with MS2. We don't know what their story is, but you do! And we want to hear it! Tell us all about the awesome people in your life. We will go through all the submissions, pick our top three favorites, and then post their stories for all of you to vote on!
The individual or family chosen will receive a two hour on location photo shoot with Mary & Missy, plus a high resolution DVD with all of the edited images and a copyright release (a $200 value).

So, let's get going! We can't wait to hear from you all!

Missy & Mary
