"I would like to enter to win a free one hour newborn session for my sweet, will be newborn in August 2013. I want to win because I think it is very important to document such life changing events! In life, the world moves too fast, we age too quickly, and it would be nice to get this very precious, short time on film! I want to have pictures to send to family members (especially the elderly ones) who may not be able to travel to see the newborn phase in person! Pictures are how we relive memories and I would love a talented photographer to capture that for me! As cliche as it may be, it is very true that 'a picture is worth a thousand words!' "
-Kelly

"I want to win a free photo session because I love having memories of my family that will not be forgotten! I have tons of pictures of my children but not many of us as a family. So it would be a family session with myself , Wendy, my husband, David, and my three beautiful children, Joel, Daisy-Marie, and Hunter. "
-Wendy

"If I was to win I would like to do a family shoot since my family has changed recently. I only have 1 photo that is my daughter and I & she was only 3 or 4 months old in it. MaKenna is now 3 yrs old 4 in july & I would love to have some photos of us 2 together. MaKenna is my world and I have photos of her all over my house but they are not professional shots and you can tell. But I do what I can with my limited funds that I have as a single mom. Traveling to you would not be an inconvenience I would love to. I hope I touched a part of your heart and you want to choose us for your giveaway. "

"Ruff-ruff bow-wow! That’s dog-speak for “Hello everyone!” I’m Tucker Murphy Stone & I am the 4 year-old furry-child of Zach& Kim Stone. I currently reside in Heflin, Alabama but was raised part-time at my grandparent’s farm in Wedowee, AL & part-time with my mommy at Auburn University. War Eagle! My daddy is an avid Bama fan. Roll Tide! As you can see, I cheer for whomever as long as I get my favorite doggy treats! I am full of personality! I love to play Frisbee & fetch, terrorize my furry-brother Aubie Cat, chase cows, swim, kayak with mom & dad, play with any toy that squeaks, travel, & most of all, I love to GO— I’ll go ANYWHERE that Mom & Dad will take me! Also, if you haven’t noticed, I’m extremely photogenic! That’s why I want to win a pet session with my friend, Amanda, at Beau Monde Photos. Thank you for your consideration!"
-Tucker

"I'm entering to win a boudoir session. I'd like to say its only for my husband. To see that sensual side of me.
I'm always trying to show him BUT to be honest it's more for me. I'd like to feel comfortable in my own skin. Feel sexy and beautiful for me. I'm fine with knowing I'm not a size 2 and won't ever be. It's not my body type. But I'd like to show others and myself that anyone any size can look amazing in whatever they wear. We are all amazing no matter the body shape or type. I just need more practice in seeing that in myself. :)"
-Jennifer

"We’re Zach & Kim Stone from Heflin, Alabama. We’ve been married for 2 years & are now patiently awaiting the birth of our first child, a son, who will be named Jackson Norris Stone. Nothing would delight us more than to have a memorable photo session during this most exciting time in our lives. One we could look at for generations with our family, and we can recall the trying and fun times we had welcoming our first child into this world. Help us remember the amazing blessing that God has given us."
-Zach & Kim

"Marley should win because I love her"
-Marley's Mama

"I need lots of photos me and my doggies and my kids. I want them to remember the good times. I almost lost it in 2005 because of my health. I want to leave them with lots of good memories of Nana"
-Sharon

"I believe I should win because I've had such a great year with being chosen to represent my school at a leadership conference, being captain of Handley Middle's JV cheerleading squad, and also having the honor of being the Lake Wedowee cover model. I would be very honored and grateful to have your talent to document my year with photographic memories."
-Katelyn

Summer Photography Tips : Published in Lake Wedowee Life

Picture Perfect Summer: 
Photography Tips for Summer 
Story and Photos  by Amanda Causey

Published in the April issue of Lake Wedowee Life

Warm, sunny days and summer vacations seem to encourage everyone to get outside and take more photographs. Here are 3 tips for your summertime photography that will help keep your goal of awesome summer photographs in focus! 

Tip #1: Beware the harsh light. The very same sunshine that makes it great to be outside can actually be the worst light for your pictures. The bright, mid-day sun casts very harsh shadows. To avoid this, try to shoot during what photographers like to term the “golden hour:” the half hour before and after sunrise and sunset. The light is warmer (more yellow in color) at this time of day, and casts softer shadows. If you are photographing people during the day, try to move them into the shade to avoid squinting eyes, and dark shadows on faces. 

Tip #2: Make it personal. Photography is a form of communication. You want your images to tell the story of summer, and how it makes you feel. Think about what summer means to you, and strive to capture that in your images. You will treasure your photographs more if they tell the story of what summer means to you. Does summer mean picnics, building sand castles at the beach, car rides with the top down, or playing Frisbee with the dog? Do you think of blue skies, blazing heat, and cornfields? Is summer a time to spend on Lake Wedowee with your family; fishing, swimming in the lake, and roasting marshmallows on the camp fire? Does it mean eating ice cream, soaking up the air-conditioning at the mall, and wearing flip flops? These activities can all be turned into iconic images that capture the mood of summer. The most important thing is for you to make your images personal, and photograph the subjects that represent summer for you.

Tip #3: Color it up! Each year, I look forward to summer because it brings with it rich and saturated colors. Including strong, bright colors in your pictures already gives an indication that it’s summertime. In addition, the choice of which specific colors you include can help you tell your summer stories more effectively; color choice can determine the mood of the image. Warm colors bring to mind the warm temperatures we enjoy in summer. Using warm tones in your images, or a splash of vibrant red, orange or yellow, lends an impression of heat to your photograph. You can also make use of cool colors to create a feeling of refreshment. The trick is to use color so that it enhances your summer photographs.

 Get out there and enjoy Lake Wedowee this summer! If you snap some good shots email them to us at news@lakewedoweelife.com so that we can feature them in upcoming issues.

These photographs were taken during our “Living the Lake Wedowee Life” cover shoot. All model search contestants were invited to participate. Our next model search contest will be announced in the May issue.

Winter River Walking on Lake Wedowee

 every fall our lake level slowly drops down to winter pool. it is sad to see the beautiful lake fall BUT honestly....it's so cold out who wants to ride the boat (not me)!!

what we normally do is hunt for arrowheads (and we find a TON of them), clean up debris around our area, and go exploring!

on a typical sunny day (which we have not seen many here in the past week but we have had some warm weather) we will walk for several hours along the lake bed looking to see what we find.

i do not recommend walking barefoot as there a lot of inconsiderate lake goers out there that will toss a glass bottle into the water without thinking. we come across broken glass very often. (try telling my 8 year old to keep his waders on....yeah right...boys like to get muddy)

 this photo was taken up river on ketchepedrakee creek.

 

 i love to collect interesting pieces of driftwood (psst: keep your eye open for the april issue of lake wedowee life magazine there just might be some driftwood crafts showing up in there by yours truly)

a day of river walking would not be complete without taking your lake dog.
