Windmills Photography

Our Business, Our Lives, Our Story

Welcome to our Blog!

Back in the day, before Windmills, we were just two friends in love with our cameras. The more we pursued our new hobby the more excited we became at the thought of our own business. Thus began the quest for a name. To make you laugh, here are some of the names that were in the running: (note, a few of these were submitted by our "oh, so funny" family) Red Door Photography (no, not the perfume), Back Porch Photography (named after the famous salad), Creative Photos (wow, that was creative), Picture This (what are we picturing exactly?), Photo-Baggins (yes, our husbands are Lord of the Rings fanatics), and the one name that we actually call ourselves is...(drumroll please) Two Chicks and a Click!!! We know, we know, so where did Windmills come from? Well, we are both crazy about all things antique, our southern heritage, home grown veggies, and the simplicity of country living and we think the Windmill symbolizes all of these things. So now you know! Our style is fun, laid back, and real! We want you to feel at home with us and un-wind with Windmills.

Beautiful Bundle of Joy

Posted in Baby Story, By:Amy, Children, Newborns 1 comment

Welcome to the world little Olivia! Addie and Steve were beaming when I walked into the hospital room to meet their precious little girl. I fell in love with her lovely black hair and her round cheeks! I could not get over her little lips either! There is something so sacred about taking pictures for labor and delivery. I had the privilege of re-living all of the sweet moments I experienced with my own five babies. It reminded me of the shock and awe you feel giving life and seeing their sweet little face for the first time! There is nothing like it in all the world! We are so looking foward to photographing Olivia throughout her first year! Congratulations Steve and Addie! She is GORGEOUS!

Introducing Little Man “Z”

Posted in By:Brooke, Newborns No comments

This little guy was so sweet. He was only about 3 weeks old and he had his daddy completely wrapped. It is neat to watch such a little bundle come into a home and turn it upside down. This couple has been married for ten years and has just started adding to their family tree. Each couple does things in their own timing but regardless of when you add a baby to your family they are sure to bring joy. There is nothing like it in all of the world. Can’t wait to see you again soon.

Baby “A” newborn

Posted in By:Brooke, Newborns No comments

What a sweet family this is. They are a part of our Baby Story Club which means we get to watch him grow into a little boy for the next year. Have I mentioned how much I love my job. I was totally amazed at how strong this little guy was. He was so alert and such a trooper. I look forward to our 3 month session.

Don’t you just want to put him in your pocket!

I love how soft this turned out. She is radiant!

I love how the sunspots turned out in this one. Their backyard was beautiful.

Stunning Mamma!

Santa “Baby”

Posted in By:Brooke, Christmas Special 2008, Newborns No comments

I have known this couple so long and have had the privilege of watching them grow and struggle and struggle and grow. As I watch them with their new baby boy I almost feel like a mama bird who is pushing its baby out of the nest so that it can fly on its own. During this shoot, I watched them soar as parents and they look like they have been doing this for years. It was so windy and absolutely freezing outside so we were trying to keep “little Santa” bundled up. I just laugh when I see his little face. What a joy he is to their life and mine. I love you guys!!!

Her father, her, and now her sweet baby boy have all come home from the hospital wrapped in this blanket. What an heirloom! Her father has passed away. I think he would love this picture!

Little Man “C”

Posted in By:Brooke, Newborns No comments

We had the privilege of meeting the Hunt family a few months ago when we shot their maternity session. They are about the nicest people you will ever meet. We were so excited when they called and wanted us to photograph their new little man. I must say, he did not disappoint. He was so laid back and just the most precious little boy. They are great first time parents so it made our job so easy. Check out their sneak peek below.
