Wes Robert Photography: SENIOR WEEK and a GIFT

Who's excited about the new year? I have to say, compared to the previous two years, this guy is! I, hopefully, like you, feel that the new year is time to make memories and set into place things that should have been done last year but slipped through your fingers. One of the promises I'm setting into place this year is to photograph my family more. Yes, I'm a professional photographer and I rarely take professional pictures of my own children. I know, right! If you are like me, let's resolve together to do this and let me help you get those pictures around your home.

Now to the gift!!!

For my upcoming Seniors who are graduating and haven’t done a senior session or my 2023 Seniors, if you book your session next week, starting 1/9/22 - 1/15/22, I’ll give you a $300 credit voucher to be used towards your order. This will be the only time I offer this gift. If you have a friend that has a senior or one that is upcoming, send this to them quickly so they can schedule a session.

Hop over to our IG and FB accounts to see this the images picked out for “Senior Week”

“Wes not only takes incredible photos, his ability to show my senior’s personality was unparalleled.”

Wes Roberts Weddings: Chris and Callie

As I sit here and think back on all the blessings I’ve had this year on the business side, this wedding was one that was extra special. From my first conversation with Callie over the Thanksgiving holiday last year, I knew this wedding was going to be great. She was on top of things and had already picked out the beautiful barn venue Dalrymple Farm, which did not disappoint even amongst a pandemic. The farm is a working farm with cows and horses that you’ll see throughout the pictures.

Some big thank you’s go out to The Petal Pusher from Ashford, AL for making some beautiful arrangements really making Dalrymple Farms glow. To Faye Jacobs for the amazing food and Tara’s Temptations for the beautiful brides cake and grooms duck cake. And the Bo Henry Band for providing some great party music that kept the wedding guest dancing. Also, Callie Smith and her beautiful artwork of the reception. A tremendous thank you goes to Tiffany Hughes for partnering with me on this wedding; she’s always amazing and so much fun to work with!

Wes Roberts Seniors: Madison

The world is illuminated with light and painted by the unique eye of its artist. I am often captivated by art and love seeing how others see the world before them. The expression of talent mixed with vision is beautiful as it culminates into a realized art piece. Madison was one of our recent seniors that I was able to photograph for the 2020 year. Like all of the seniors I work with, I love having our initial planning meeting. It’s here that I begin to find out who the senior is and what they enjoy and want to include in the session. As we planned Madison’s session, I asked that question…”what would you like to include”. There was some conversation about cheer and reading, and a brief mention that she dabbles in painting a little but nothing detailed. So i probed a little bit, “tell me about that”. Come to find out, Madison is an ultra talented artist and has a natural ability to see the colors and form on canvas without having formal training. Amazing! During the rest of the session we were able to come up with some beautiful images that showcased Madison during her senior year. I hope you enjoy them! If you’ve got a senior or upcoming senior, reach out to me and let’s chat about how I can provide the with beautiful senior images.

Wes Roberts Video: Rebuild Pros

This is something I tried to stay away from. Mostly from fear of not knowing what to do or how to even go about it, but I guess that’s why God has geared us with certain abilities to figure things out. When everything shut down back in March, our church went into an all virtual attendance format, which meant that everything that our congregation interacted with was now in a digital format of some sort. I had already been making announcement videos and handling the live stream but this move it amped everything up multiple notches. I had to jump deep into learning more about Adobe Premier, producing/directing a live event with multiple camera angles, program formatting (similar to how you watch a television show), and a number of things I would have never stepped into. I went from a comfortable photography knowledge to something which was way above my skill and knowledge level. So right now, I give the glory to Jesus for leading and seeing me through this.

As we moved into a new message series titled “REBUILD” a study on the Book of Nehemiah, we wanted an intro video before each message that would be fun but still point towards the theme of the message. I’m so thankful for my team of idea thinkers and people in our church who are willing to act in front of the camera to make this happen. The episode is based on the HGTV renovation shows that air and focus on the building adventures of Mike the Rebuilder as he tries to meet his client’s needs and gives glory to God at the same time.

If you’d like to check out the “REBUILD” message series you can view them here. There will be more episodes to come.
