LuLu's Pictures

My name is actually Lacey however as a child I was given the nickname "LuLu" and it kinda stuck! I answer to both Lacey and LuLu. I love art, design, and photography. I won my first photography award when I was 16. Since then I have been featured in several shows including: the Fort Hays State Student Exhibition, I have been in the 5 State Art Show three times, and had one of my photographs chosen to be displayed in Photographer's Forum book of who's who in photography. I love capturing the moment of two people in love and ready to start a new life together, or perhaps it is a child with the excited playful look in their eyes as to what is going to happen next. Seniors are some of my favorite sessions to do. It shows who they are at this very moment in their life, which is one of the most exciting times in one's life. At the end of the day, plain and simple I just enjoy taking pictures. I wouldn't consider myself to be a professional however when it comes to photography I am a perfectionist! I feel there is still so much for me to learn about photography but right now I am enjoying learning new things along the way. I want to show who you are and tell your story.

Ashley and Her Boys

As I stated before, I have been in a creative slump like none other.. therefore with my dear friend Ashley being pregnant I thought it would be the perfect time to twist her arm into letting me take some pictures of her.  I had never been so darn excited about light until this evening...it was absolutely perfect therefore I was guaranteed to have a great shoot...if my camera were to allow it.  My camera would NOT focus on Ashley a single bit, I could take a picture, then put her in the exact location and nothing. I was fortunate enough to get around the glitch for a couple really good shots that are just a tad out of focus.  Ashley and Pheonix were such good sports and I am pretty sure I have now figured out what was wrong with my camera!  So, thanks Ashley for letting me experiment with you and I am so dang sorry I was only able to obtain a couple shots! :)

Kisses for Baby Brother


Adorable!

He's going to be such a good big brother! 

I absolutely LOVED this shot of Ashley, she looks beautiful!

Emma and Carson

As stated previously... I have been in a creative slump!  I took these pictures months ago and am JUST NOW posting them.  Baby Emma was born this summer and I went to her house to catch a few shots of her and big brother Carson!

He was laughing...

He was screaming... (I just couldn't resist taking a picture!)

Someone Looks Ornery! 



Kisses for Baby Sister!


The beautiful Emma Kay! 


The only one she was awake for.

The tutu I made her! 



Sucha beautiful baby girl! 

Exceptionally fun EDITS!

So, I have been in a photography slump for the last few months to say the least.  As much as it inspires me, pinterest has not been able to get me out and create beautiful pictures.  However... I have been playing around with some new "actions" I bought to just make images beautiful.  So now here comes the vain part of me.  Of course I spend a lot of my time editing my own self portraits.  People on facebook are all the time bashing the "self portraiters" of the world.  I will admit I am one of "those" people.  When I am feeling pretty-bam it's time to take a shot and commemorate this moment.  Not only does it make me feel good about myself it is sometimes so much easier editing photographs of yourself than other people.  So here are a few of my self portraits of me playing around with new the "actions"








Now... here are some oldies that I just couldn't help myself playing around with... we're talking years old lol :)
