brody’s sneak peek . lifestyle photography

Jan. 23, 2012

Meet Baby Brody. Gotta love this family! I have been shooting their pictures since big sis Sophie was about 9 months old and they are so much fun!

Since I have your attention I wanted to elaborate on how I approached Brody’s session. You may have heard the term “lifestyle” photography. The term is used very loosely in the photography industry and can mean a number of things to different photographers. Lifestyle photography “Brandelyn Lee” style is when I come into your life, your home, your world and documents the happenings. It is less about capturing a traditional “eyes on camera” portrait and more about capturing your life. Most of my sessions have a “lifestyle” flare but also have a little more “posing” than a typical straight up lifestyle session. For Brody’s six month session, we went straight up lifestyle. Well, mostly anyway. When I arrived, he was just waking from a nap so we started the session all cozy in his room. Granted, these first two are “eye contact” photos, but that wasn’t necessarily my goal. The Goal: capture Brody’s six month world. He just happened to be pretty interested in me at that moment! Don’t you love his room???

time to change the diaper! He loves his big sister! Big Sis Sophie, showing me her bracelet and telling me all about her big girl preschool. *sigh*reading a book with mommy and big sis

tell us about it, Brody!

Meet the newest addition to the Shirley Family. It has been almost five years since we have had a little baby to love so we are all beside ourselves to welcome my niece, Baby Ellie, into the world! Isn’t she simply to die for? Tell me those aren’t the sweetest little eyes you have ever seen???The dads usually prefer to keep their shirts on… however, because Ryan is my brother in law, he didn’t get a choice. Rene and I said. So it was. And my personal favorite. F’real Ya’ll… She is smiling. *sigh*

  • Christy Martin • Okay, usually I say 'Enough shirtless dads!" But, for this dude, I say, "Bring it on." Love these pictures!
  • Monica • LOVE these! So excited for Ryan and Rene :D Baby Ellie is precious!

Engagement . Garrett & Christine

Meet Garrett and Christine. An adorable couple who’s wedding I will have the privilege of shooting this winter.  We shot this session at my in-law’s farm… I guess you can call it that – it has goats and an old barn! We had soooo very much fun. How stinkin’ cute are they!?

I thought, since these two were such a playful and fun couple, a friendly leaf fight was in order. Unbeknownst to me, Garrett is quite the competitor and knew not how to have a friendly leaf fight. Look at him trying to figure out how he can get the most leaves in his arm span… and poor Christine’s cute little handful… she doesn’t even know what is about to hit her. Notice the last image in this sequence, his thrust of leaves didn’t even clear the air for he was reaching for more! I haven’t laughed this hard during a shoot in a long time!

She forgave him for trying to kill her with leaves and they proceeded with the cuddling!

  • Karen Cheney • Love the pics. I agree with Brandelyn, y'all are too cute!
  • Ann Cheney • They are a precious couple. Of course I would think so - my grandsonand his lovely fiance. The pictures are beautiful!!
