Weekly Wrap Up

So i'm planning on doing a weekly blog post to recap what happened the previous week! I'm trying to get more into my blogging so hoping this will help.


    So just over a week ago I got to do some engagement pictures for some good friends of mine, Apryll & Jonathon, and had a lot of fun going to the place they met to do these pictures! They met at University of West Alabama while Apryll and I attended school there.  I introduced them and here we are almost 8 years later getting their engagement pictures done and in 2 months from today they will be marrying each other! Love capturing these moments for people!

   Then this weekend I had the pleasure of doing a long term clients maternity portraits! They have turned out to be some of my FAVORITE maternity portraits I've ever done. Such a gorgeous Mommy to be and can't wait til little Emory is born soon, so I can play with him and get some awesome pictures!

   SANTA PORTRAITS- So I just officially booked a Santa for November 8th and 15th. These sessions will be 30 minutes and will include your child being able to have an interaction with Santa and reading and eating cookies with him. I can't wait to do these! These will not be your Mall Santa Portraits! :) 

   Still wanting to do charity/ free sessions! I am wanting to choose a person or charity every month to give a free session too or to do a series of session to donate the profits to a charity! If you know of a deserving family that could use a free session or a charity that could use some donations please email me. Chelseabusbyphotography@gmail.com.  (this can be anyone from someone with a family member that is terminally ill, a family that just deserves a break) 

   This hasn't been in the last week but a few weeks ago I did some Tea Party Mini Sessions for some gorgeous little girls. Here are a few pictures from their sessions! 

So I'm hoping to do this every week! Just as an update on what's going on with Chelsea Busby Photography! Thank you for reading! 

August Newsletter

   Hey everyone! Hope y'all are doing good! I've been busy trying to get some things straightened out with my business and updating a few things to better my business! 

   First thing i'm updating is my sister is designing my website. She graduated from college with a degree in Information Technology and will be designing my website to add to her portfolio. She's been working on it for a couple weeks now and i'm excited to see the finished product. We're also planning on redoing my blog! 

   Next is my interest in giving back. I am planning on giving back to a charity every month or every other month through my photography. Whether this be donating the profits from a session to a charity or doing sessions for free for families in need or families who deserve a session.( this could be a family with a terminally ill child/family member, a family who has recently lost a family member, a family who has an immediate family member being deployed over seas etc). So I am opening this month up to requests. If you know of a charity or a family in need of help please feel free to email me at chelseabusbyphotograpy@gmail.com. Include the name of each family member or the name of the charity. A little back story on the family/charity and the reason you think they would be deserving of a free session or profits from a session! 

    Third- I NEED A SANTA! I am planning Stories with Santa Mini Sessions on November 8th and 13th. These will be 30 minute sessions where your child will get to read a Christmas Story with Santa and eat cookies. My only thing is I need a Santa. If you know someone who would be willing to pose as Santa for 2 Saturdays for about 4-5 hours a day I would be very appreciative. I am willing to pay a fee or offer a free session for your time! :) 

    Fourth-I will begin booking Family Christmas Portraits this month for the month of October in order to get a jump on booking and making sure everything is in line! So be sure to be on the look out for the announcement for these sessions! 

    And Last- I have 2 Mini Sessions for the month of August- Vintage Tea Party Mini Sessions and Bait and Tackle Stand Sessions More Info below. :) 

    Thank you for reading and to all my customers and potential customers I want to thank you all for your business and your recommedations!!! :) 

London-9 Months

9 Months ago did Newborn pictures of a gorgeous little girl! I have had so much fun watching her grow and watching her personality blossom into the beautiful 9 month old girl that she is in these pictures. Can't wait to continue to capture special moments in this little girls life! And can't wait to see how the 1 Year Session and Cake Smash Session goes!

Luker Family

About a year ago a girl contacted me about doing some anniversary pictures for her and her husband. I met up with them and we shot some pictures. I found out a little about them, one thing being that they were pregnant with their 3rd child and they also were going to be needing Maternity and Newborn pictures before the end of the year! I was excited to do this. After getting to know their family I learned about some deeper things in their life. Their second child, Barrett was born an angel, and I have enjoyed being able to incorporate a few of Barrett's things into the pictures I've done over the past year and getting to know the impact that this Angel has on this family.. I read up on her blog and by talking with her and her family and found out the way they dealt with the loss of their beautiful Son. Staci began an organization called Barrett's Blankets. The organization is based on the fact that she regretted not being able to keep the blanket that Barrett was wrapped in at the hospital. Barrett's Blankets wants to work with hospitals to provide a blanket to all Moms with angel babies to be able to wrap their babies in and later take home with them as a reminder of their precious gift! So all that to say how much I Love this family and their story! And so happy that they have stuck by me this past year through some ups and downs in my business and always patient and kind with me! Staci messaged me about a month ago about her anniversary gift including me again this year! She needed some pictures of her sweet 5 year old daughter, her adorable 6 Month old Daughter and of course a Token of Barrett's was incorporated into a few pictures with his big Sister. If you would like to know more about Barrett's Blankets here is a link to her Facebook Page as well as the Website! :) http://barrettsblankets.weebly.com/  https://www.facebook.com/BarrettsBlankets  And here are some of my favorite images from our most recent session!
