Ed and Denys were absolutely wonderful to work with, and it speaks in the results!

My fiancé and I both wanted a photographer that would capture our special moments, not just stage them. What we found was this amazing couple; a masculine half which is the strong silent type and a little traditional, well matched with a feminine half that is fun, perky, joyful, and not afraid to throw a quirky twist at you! The way they work with each other to achieve the outcome of your dreams leaves nothing to be desired. We were blessed to find this match made in heaven!:)

We had so many questions in the beginning but Ed and Denys took the time to explain each and every option every step of the way. From which package would best fit into our budget all the way down to which frames and album covers to select for the pictures we ordered. They helped us with it all.

Their professionalism, portfolio, and attention to detail may be what caught our attention, but their personalities and their ability to capture those of their subjects is what sold us! They captured every moment, every emotion, and they did it in such an inconspicuous way that when looking at our beautiful pictures I can’t help but cry out “OMG when did they take that??”

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to shoot the most important milestone in our lives to date. Their unique combination of styles captured our special day in a way that’s so truthful and beautiful I really find it hard to put it into words.

We are proud and honored to recommend Ed Kelley Photography to our family, friends, and anyone seeking a photographer for their wedding or other special occasion.

Cars and Coffee. A great Sunday in Leander’s old town.

Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles and a new Coffee Shop. It was a great morning viewing some amazing vehicles and trying Leander’s new cafe.

There is now a great reason for people to travel to downtown Leander

With hundreds of classic and vintage cars the Cars and Coffee event was a great success.

The new café had a soft open where we enjoyed coffee and muffins. The staff was very friendly and the food was good. We are so glad they are in town. We wish them a bright future.

Looking forward to next month’s Cars and Coffee.

Not my Car

Leander Car Show - by Ed Kelley Photography

Ever walked up to a car in a parking lot and thought it was yours.   It was the right color and the right model.  But it’s not your car.

I have and I’m willing to bet that you have too.  I even went as far to put my key into the door and wonder why it didn’t unlock.  Took a few minutes before I realized that this is NOT MY CAR.   Then of course you feel awkward and hope the owner wasn’t watching.

It must be the same for a little tot who see the blue jean leg, grabs on thinking  the leg belongs to their parent only it doesn’t.  The person’s leg that has been grabbed feels weird and the kid is horrified as to what happened to his mom or dad.

Today I had a similar but not exactly the same thing happen.  You see I went to visit my dad in the VA Nursing Home for Alzheimer Patients.  It was lunch time and they were having lunch in the dining room.  My mom and I walked into the room, and searched and found “DAD”.  Mom walked over , put her arm on “DAD’s” shoulder and says- how you doing honey?   (Great pick up line!)  Only it’s not my DAD.

Mom looked puzzled, looked at me and said this  isn’t your dad.  I’m thinking yes it is.  I even looked at his hands and said are you sure?  NOPE not my dad.  Dad was sitting at a table behind him.  WOW.  I looked at my dad and looked at the gentlemen that wasn’t my dad.   They looked so much alike.  Same color, same hair, same profile. Definitely a double take.  And kind of scary.

Kinda felt like when I went to the wrong car or when the little kid grabbed my leg by accident- little strange, a little awkward, a little uncomfortable.   But only for a split second.  Just the second that it took to find the RIGHT dad.   Whew!

Hello to a New Year and a new baby

Tarah by Ed Kelley Photography

Tarah by Ed Kelley Photography

Hello 2012.  And hello little baby.

Now this little baby decided she wanted to be here for Christmas so she surprised her mom and dad.  And what a delightful surprise to have.  I can’t think of a better reason to have to run out and get that last minute gift.  Of course, that would have been hard for me because I would have been holding this little one.

Her momma had the cutest little baby bump, and now her momma has the cutest little baby.  She was a delight to meet when we did her newborn photo session just after the first of the new year.

We love doing the newborn session and try to have the babies in between 7-10 days- while they are still newborns.   They change so much so fast.  So to help celebrate the NEW YEAR- we had this beautiful baby come in for her first professional session.

She is just so cute.  I know I’ve said that a few times.  But really she is.  I had so much fun doing her photo session. I think her mom and dad had fun too.   In our newborn baby sessions we do take pictures of mom and dad with the little one. Kinda like the first family photo.  Most of the pictures are about the baby.  Their little hands, toes, smiles- if we are lucky. And if we are real lucky- no peeing or pooping.   Just saying.

I’m so excited to have her mom and dad view all the pictures we took, and see what ones they fall in love with.  OF course I’m really excited to have them come back to the studio so I can hold this adorable little one.   Did I tell you that I love my job?

If you would like to know more about our BABY Plans or know someone who is expecting- please let us know. Thank you.
