This is the 3rd session of the Solis’s in the last yr. They wanted something a little different since they were city folk. We were not able to go down town Memphis so we did the next best thing, down town Covington. You have heard me say before that they were the most photogenic family I have photographed. We always have a ball, and if Abe gets out of the construction business he could always be a comedian! S041 S061 S090e S028 S082

Emma is the beautiful daughter of Kirk and Emily Richardson. Right after they brought her home we discussed one day going to the zoo at the Panda Exhibit and doing Emma’s portrait. This was the day and it was HOT! That didn’t matter to little Emma, she was her usual self, wide open! The final product will be a beautiful painting that will hang on their wall, I can’t wait to start on it, I know I’m going to want one also

We recently went to Rhodes College to photograph Amy Hooper’s Family, she wanted to go some where a little different. The College grounds were beautiful! Our objective was to get a portrait of her son to match her daughters 1 yr. portrait. It felt like 110 degrees, so we had to work fast. During the Summer months some people think it is to hot for pictures, I agree, is hot, but when we get where we are going we normally can get through in 20 to 30 minutes. With young children, normally the best expressions happen in the first 3 minutes. H55 H24 H29

Who is Richard Ramsey? (Dad)

If I asked you, who is Richard Ramsey most of you would say he is probably the best photographer they have ever seen. Photography is what he does, that’s not who he is. He is one of the most giving people I have ever met. He always puts other people’s needs before his. He is a husband, a father, and a Grandaddy, and all his Grand babies just adore him. If I become half the person he is I would consider my life a tremendous success! He has taught me a lot in my life and he always is there when I need him. Dad love animals, and if you could get a glimpse of him any night in his living room, he sits on his chair and there will be 3 dogs and a cat sitting in his lap, and if he gets up they follow him where ever he goes. He has also taught me everything I know in photography. I was talking to him the other day and we were discussing marketing, In Covington, I don’t have to market much, it is a small town and every body knows you. In Memphis it is different. It’s hundreds if not thousands of photographers. So there is a lot of competition. A photographer friend told Dad something and it was right on the money. “There are so many people trying to do photography now, offering everything under the sun. There is only one thing they can’t offer. They can’t give them a Richard Ramsey Portrait! There is only ONE place in the world you can get that!!! and that is at Ramsey Photography! Happy Father’s Day Dad, We Love You!!

Now, me and Jonathan are Buds!! I have taken his pictures for the last several years, so he knows all of my little tricks I do to get an expression. But this time I had something up my sleeve. When I did this trick he could not stop laughing!! I am not able to tell you what it is on this blog, so if you see me out, ask me what it is, you won’t believe it!

We took Amy and Brad Carlisle’s kids pictures the other day, and it was a little harder than our normal sitting. Not because of the kids, they were awesome, it was because those sweet little Baby geese that were on my blog a few months ago. Guess what, they grew up and for some reason, they do not care for me anymore. Amy was there, not to help me or the kids, her full time job was to shew the geese away. If I was a betting man, I bet Amy grew up on a Farm!! She was the only one there that wasn’t afraid!

Kristen Griffin’s engagement session

I photographed Kristen a few years ago for her senior pictures, and now she’s tying the knot! Farming is a big part of their lives so they decided to go with that theme for their engagement. It started to rain when we arrived, but thank goodness it stopped. Sometimes after a storm or a rain the lighting becomes beautiful! G67 G05 G52 G36
