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.

Daddy, Mommy, and Dallen- 9 months

Posted in Baby Story, By:Brooke, Children, Families, Uncategorized 1 comment

I have to say that I love love love this family and this sweet little boy. He is apart of our Baby Story so we have watched him grow from newborn sweetness to a 9 month old grinning munchkin. He is PRECIOUS!!! His mom always has some fun ideas up her sleeve and this shoot was NO exception. She showed up with a homemade fishing pole and the cutest little overalls you have ever seen. One of these days when we are done shooting, I am going to pick him up and put him in my pocket. He is so cute it hurts!!! Thank you Milfords for being such a great family. We have so much fun with you guys.

The super fun Jackson family

Posted in By:Brooke, Families 1 comment

I can’t even begin to express to you how wonderful this family is. Rachel (the mom) has been one of the most supportive clients we have ever had. She has three beautiful kiddos and trust me, they keep her on her toes. Her hubby works overseas and only gets to come home a few times a month so she truly is the definition of a “super mom”. She wanted to do a family session while he was in town this time and the kids were crazy happy to have him home. They have an incredible story and they have tons of fun together.

Daddy= human jungle gym!

Check out little Rosie working hard on mommy’s hair- I LOVE IT!!!

Sweet Smiles “J”

Posted in By:Brooke, Children, Families 2 comments

All I can say is hold on tight. This little guy is gonna knock your socks off. He is six months old and all boy. He absolutely hates to sit down. He would stiffen his legs and I think it took us ten to fifteen minutes to finally get him on the ground. Amy and I were laughing so hard. I guess you had to be there, I have just never seen anything like it in my life. He was ALL smiles and just the cutest little thing ever. It was an absolute honor to meet this family. I just wish they lived a little closer. I can’t get a very good cutie pie fix from Massachusetts.

One Big Happy Family

Posted in By:Brooke, Families No comments

OK, so I know that every family has their issues but if I could have a second family, I would pick this one. We went over on Thanksgiving day (I know, I know, I am trying to get caught up on my posting) to photograph the entire family- all 30 of them. Susan’s father is 90 years old and he does NOT disappoint. He was such a feisty guy. I kinda have a thing for little old men but don’t tell my hubby. (Wink Wink) He may have been the cutest I have encountered so far. Together he and his wife (who is just as precious) have four children, tons of grandchildren and even more great grandchildren. I think I could have stayed all day just hanging out and listening to his stories. What a wealth of knowledge and wisdom they both had. It is sessions like this that make me love my job. Oh yeah, he told Amy that she looked like S. Palin. How funny is that. We both got a good laugh out of that one.

This is the whole crew
