Big News for Bousson Photography

As of well.......5 minutes ago I just booked my first wedding. Its a small affair and they have asked me to be a part of it :) Can you tell I am super happy! I have also been asked to second shoot a wedding in December. My photography world is expanding woo hoo! More to come in the future!!!



And here are a couple ideas I have for some business cards, I think its about time I got some :)let me know what you think!

Love From Texas

So my practically family/friend Jessica (whose blog is lovefromtexas.com-hence the title) was in town this weekend visiting family and asked me to take some maternity shots for her. I was thrilled bc I have had so many ideas in my mind and I have been wanting to branch out and do more than just shoots of babies (although i love those too) Well she gave me free run to come up with whatever i wanted. Well since they were from Texas i decided to go with an earthy country theme, even though they are very country i think that we pulled off the shoot quite well. It worked out great and i think we all managed to stay somewhat comfy (except for me saying stand up sit down move here go there over and over to a 7 month pregnant chica) I took so many photos and still have a few on que to edit so i couldnt edit any just yet but wanted to share some of the sooc shots bc they didnt need any work anyways!

Maternity Shoot

Inspirational Photos (not my work)

Jessica has a little boy (Knox)

so I am thinking something along the lines of this will be cute

(minus the daisy dukes although Jess is probably the one pregoo that could get away with it lol)

Love this- hope the sun cooperates


hoping to get something like this

I have my first "real" maternity shoot tomm with Jessica (Love from Texas). They are in town from Texas...(duh?!) and she asked me to take some pics of her and Miss Hadley. Have I mentioned that I am SUPER excited about it! I have been making mental notes of what I want in the shoot for the last week or so and tonight in between editing photos I goodled maternity pics and got some more ideas. First off can I just tell you how gross some pics are I mean chiffon and a belly...eek! What is attractive about that and Who would want to see that up in your house soooo I am going for a more earthy feel. I beliee this other blog i read stated it perfectly (sorry i dont remember what blog ) but it said there is already a preggo in the pic so its a maternity pic from the get go you dont have to point out the belly. lol. So we will see what I come up with and youknow I will post them. And above are some inspiration photos i found. Our shoot is gonna be at Shelby Farms

Latest Shoots

Ok so I have way more than these few pics to post to catch up on all my latest shoots but these are some that i just finished editing that are my new faves. These are from a couple weeks ago but due to my crazy schedule (including but not limited to attempting to be a seamtress, editing photos, working and a mini vacay at the lake) I am just not working on them!

New Session Info

Ok so to start off I have to say THANKS to everyone who has contacted me about doing shoots for their family. I never imagined I would getas much business as I have :) At the same time my family is growing (no Im not preggers) my little man Will is turning into a big boy right before my eyes. With that being said the time has come for me to make some changes. When Will was smaller I could tote him along to photoshoots but now he is a little to mobile to do so and well I really dont have the child care available to continue to do shoots everyday nor do I want to be away from him that much. I do think I will be putting him in MDO and extra day a week and this will allow for a day packed with shoots. My goal is to pick a day (probably wed or thursday) and schedule 2-3 sessions this day (8/10/12). In the furture I may add more to this day just have smaller time frames for shoots but right now I still like to take my time and not rush things. For newborn sessions/special circumstances (ie families who can only do weekends etc) I will have one opening on saturday mornings and monday mornings at 8 am ( I am an RN and I work Fri and Sun nights so I get off at 730 that is why I will be doing 8 so I can shoot then sleep!) I also am asking to please call me as early as possible to schedule shoots. I unfortunately have had a few requests recently for photoshoots within days of contacting me and to simply put it I am not super woman and was unable to find child care to accomodate these needs. The further notice I have the easier it is to arrange child care etc to focus on your shoot. this doesnt mean I cant or wont try to work things out but it will definitely make things easier for everyone ( on top of that if I continue to see the same amount of shoots I may be booking up faster with the decrease in session availability) . I thought for a long time how to word this post. I hope it doesnt come across harsh or rude that is not my intention I just want to continue to share what I love with others but also be able to enjoy my family so setting some limits for myself ( I tend to stretch myself thin) will help keep my sanity. Maybe one day I will quit my full time job and solely focus onphotography but for now it is stil a passion that I do one the side. If your interested in a shoot please contact me at cassiebousson@yahoo.com.

Been a While since i said WOW

So I have been busy with shoots now for a while (reason for the slack in blogging) and although there are always great images from each shoot it has been a little while since i stopped and just said WOW to a picture i took before i do anything to it. Well i am slightly behind on editing (life has gotten in the way lol) and i was just running through my "to edit" pile this evening and htis image caught my eye and well lets jsut say if it wasnt my bed time i would be staying up all night to edit this little ladies pics ALL night! Who needs sleep anyways right hehe. Well i will be snoozing but tomm is a new day and i cant wait to begin!!!!
