Kittens.......again

Our mama cat had kittens......again.  I just didn't around to getting her to the vet to get spayed, I know, I know, bad pet owner.  I will this time though.....promise!    On the bright side, the kittens give my kids several weeks of enjoyment until we find homes for them.  Shelby was inspired by all the new mommas at our church carrying their babies in slings, so she came up with her own invention.....The Kitten Sling.  (patent pending....lol)
Here she is modeling her invention.

Here are a few snapshots of the kitten "hanging around"  he did seem to enjoy being carried around in the sling.

By the way, if you are looking for a kitten, these guys are 4 weeks old today and will be ready to go home with you in about 3 weeks.

Phillip & Mary Katherine Married!

Wedding Ceremony: Third Baptist Church
Reception: River Park Center
Florals: Welborn's
Cakes: Tammy's Cakes
Band: Soul Groove


A beautiful wedding with a beautiful couple.  Phillip and Mary Katherine were both so calm and laid back on their wedding day, they were just going to enjoy their day as it happened. 

Mary Katherine had her dress designed just the way she wanted....it even had pockets sewn in....a bride has to have a place to keep her lip gloss and tissues.  Simply beautiful!

Love the shoes too.

I love it when my couples choose to see each other before the wedding.  They get to have their private moment when they see each other for the first time and I get to capture real love that looks like this......

Gorgeous bride!

and a handsome groom

I love these next three images!

The bridal party was a up for a little fun.  

 Welborne's did an awesome job with the florals and reception decor.

Check out these wonderful cakes from Tammy's cakes.

The reception was at the River Park Center, where everyone was dancing to the music of "Soul Groove"

You'll have to check out the slideshow to see more images from this wedding.  Thanks to Joanne, who was my wonderful second photographer and assistant for the day!

And one more of the newlyweds......

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.
