Merry Christmas from my little family and the team at Lightly Photography! Here is our very own Fall Portraits taken by my awesome associate team, Sarah Rizy & Amanda McCollum. I love all these as they really show off my families silliness. In case you didn’t know I am totally outnumbered, A husband, 2 sons, a boy dog and a male cat means a whole lot of boy and little girly me. We have lots of fun and I don’t think I would have it any way. Hope your Christmas is filled with happiness and craziness like ours surely will be. Catch you in the New Year!

We are so excited to announce the newest addition to the Tracy Autem & Lightly Photography Family. Gideon Matthew was born October 13 at 8:02 am . He weighed 9lbs and 3 oz and is 20.5 inches. I was so blessed to be there when Tracy and her husband got to hold their precious baby boy for the very first time and I wanted to share some of those images. Of course I couldn’t help but cry as I experienced their joy with them. We all truly are a family.
We are so excited to announce our very own addition to the Tracy Autem and Lightly Photography family. Alexander Wayne Autem was born December 10 at 3:22 am. He weighed 8lbs, 4 oz and is 21 inches long. Tracy and Alex are both doing awesome. Tracy and JW are enjoying this time bonding with their precious new son.
I am just a handful of weeks away now from my first baby being born and last week my associate Sarah Bunyard headed out to play with me. I love being behind the camera but being in front of it is always a great experience as it helps me to understand my clients insecurities, quirks and sometimes strange conversations with their loved ones. Very few people are naturally comfortable with a lens pointed their direction but my husband, J.W., and I had a great time laughing, being silly and of course intimate and close to one another. We brought props like balloons, a few outfits and checked out a location I have been dying to shoot in….a laundry mat! It was awesome and I am excited to share some of my belly shots with my amazing clients. I will be on maternity leave from shooting from Nov 14 until the new year but of course will still be available for meetings, emails and phone calls. Little Alexander Wayne Autem is due the beggining of December and the bith is being captured by a good friend of mine so Sarah Rizy will make sure and post some newborn photos as soon as he arrives. Enjoy!
