Emily's senior session

When I was in Minnesota a few weeks ago, my little cousin asked me if I would take her senior pictures.  Of course I would!  I really can't call her "little" anymore because she is all grown up now.  I remember when I was a teenager and going to see my aunt and this new baby Emily in the hospital.  Time sure flies!  Here's a few of my favorite images from her session.

 Joleen from JAG Productions and I colloborated on this session too.  Check out this fantastic video.

Exciting new session

I'm very excited to share this piece of news.  But before I do, let me give you a little background history.  My long time BFF Joleen Giefer and I go way back......we went to photography school together and we have photographed several weddings and projects together.  We are a dynamic duo so to speak, we both have different styles that blend well together, and since we've worked together so much, our sessions and weddings just flow together nicely.


Recently Joleen has decided to venture down a different path into the cinematography world.  She went and trained with one of the top 25 wedding videographers, Josh Smith from Cinematic Bride.  The projects that she has created are amazing!


SO, that leads me into my exciting news.  I have wanted to offer this for about the last year now, and finally I am able to do so. Stigman Photography in collaboration with JAG Productions is now offering Cinematic Family Sessions.   These sessions will be a great way to create memories with your children, memories that you can cherish forever.

Here's a sample of that collaboration.  I'm going to overshare images from this session, just because I like so many of them.

 And here is the awesome family movie.  Check it out, wouldn't you love to do something like this with your family?

Think about something that you do as a family, maybe it's playing sports together, or hanging out by the pool and grilling out.  Maybe it's going to a park and having a picnic, or riding horses.  Maybe it's just going out for ice cream.  Whatever your family time is, we want to capture that.  Joleen will be in Kentucky for a week in October, if you would like to do one of these sessions, give us a call or email and I will get you all the information you need to know.  270-925-9311 or steph@stigmanphotography.com

just for fun

I am really behind on blogging again.  I've had a lot going on with proms, sports teams, my kids playing ball and a trip to Minnesota  in the last month.  Here's a shoot I haven't blogged about.  Back in April I got together with some of my photographer friends from the Evansville area and we did a fun photo shoot in our flooded woods.  Here's some shots from that session.  The lovely Pamela Terry styled all the girls' hair and modeled for us. 

Gotta love a girl who can put on a formal dress and then go muddin' on a 4 wheeler.  Thanks Heather!

Here's the photographers having a little fun.

Sarah is not afraid to get muddy, here she is shooting with her boots on.

Thanks to all the models for getting all muddy.  We had a great time and got a lot of fun shots.

Mother's Day Giveaway winner.

Happy Mother's Day to all you fabulous moms out there.  I hope you had a great day.

Thank you to all those who nominated several moms for the portrait giveaway.  All of the moms were deserving, and I had a hard time choosing.  Without further ado......

The winner is Jessica M.  Jessica is a stay at home mom to 3 kids, and a military wife.  Congrats Jessica!  

Mother's Day Giveaway

All you moms out there know what it's like taking care of the kids, the house, working, running the kids to their activities, etc. We sometimes just run out of steam and forget to just do a little something for ourselves. I know I am guilty of that. I think it's a treat just to go to the grocery store by myself!


SO, in honor of Mother's Day coming up on Sunday, I decided to give away a very special Mother's Day treat. A portrait session for the Mom, capturing the bond between a Mom and her children, and of course we will get some portraits of just the mom, since every mom deserves to have some fabulous pictures of herself. They will also receive a $150 credit to go towards prints or portrait products.


All you have to do to win is, send me a recent snapshot of this mom and a couple of sentences on why you think this mom deserves to win. You can nominate yourself too! Nominations will be accepted through Friday, May 7th and the winner will be announced on May 9th-Mother's Day. Snapshots and nominations will be posted on my blog.


To recap

Everyday life

Naps are always better when you have someone to cuddle with.

 I just had to capture this when I saw Sienna and Tigger napping together.  Too cute!

Matt & Emily Owensboro Wedding Photographer

What can I say about Matt & Emily's wedding?  Simply beautiful and romantic.  You can watch the slideshow of this wedding by clicking here.


 Here's a few images of the gorgeous bride.

Emily's hair was styled by Gracie at Kennise Salon.

 And a few of the handsome groom

And the fabulous couple

I love the fact that the bride pulled up in a pink 57' Chevy.

The reception was at the Miller House, beautiful inside as well.

Emily did a wonderful job on her flowers.

The bride's sister, Jenna is a very talented cake decorator.  She made this awesome cake and even did cupcakes and a special cake for the groom, since he loves paint ball.

Making their grand exit

I loved everything about this wedding!  There are just too many images to share, so you'll want to watch the slideshow by clicking here, or you can check out the facebook album here.
