Lydia + David are ENGAGED!

The wait is over! (Just look at me--blogging two days in a row!)

Here's a splash of fabulous imagery, courtesy of C.P. Mac Photography and, of course, the ever fab Lydia and David!

They are getting hitched in April 2010 and I just can't wait! (I'm a bridesmaid, too--how exciting!) Leave me some love, pretty please!

What a weekend!

Had a FAB weekend consisting of two photo shoots and two trips to Books A Million, my favorite date place with my kid.



So, my shoot Saturday was with Courtney (aka Mrs. Beautiful)--she's getting married to Dan in just two weeks! We did her bridal portraits in downtown Prattville, which was an EXCELLENT choice (kudos to you, Court!)...Don't worry--I will be showing those off as SOON as they are hitched! ;)

Sunday, I shot David and Lydia's engagement photos...they are SO beautiful and unique (both the images and the couple themselves)...I will get one up ASAP!

If you don't remember, I also shot David's proposal to Lydia back in June:

I am SO excited about getting D+L's engagement pics up...so much so, that I edited their photos in my dreams last night...too bad I didn't actually get the work done!

Baby Cooper: Part I

I am so blessed to work with children with just giant personalities!
Take Cooper for example--he is only 3 months old, yet he looks directly at the camera pretty much on demand and smiles in return for your smile...

He is one gorgeous baby, and it's no wonder--when I arrived at Jessica and Warren's house and Jessica answered the door, I was smitten with how beautiful she was (and stylish, too!).

Look at that crocodile tear--poor baby--he was HUNGRY!

Darling tiny toes, held close by his momma...

Such a peaceful afternoon...

Mother and child--nothing more beautiful!

Laughing little boy

Whenever Jessica smiled really big-ly (I know that's not a word--it's a CPMAC-ism) at Cooper, he would burst out into a matching big grin...

Carolyn Jean

So, Mr. Robert is one of my patients at the dentists office I work at...and he is oen of the sweetest, kindest men ever. For instance, the second time he came into the office, 6 months after the first time I met him, he grinned at me from over the counter and asked how my little boy, Malachi, was doing (yes, he not only remembered that I have a son, but remembered his name, too). That's apparently just how he is. Well, in one of our conversations, I mentioned photography to him, and somehow, I ended up at his daughter, Tiffany's, home today, captured photographs of his precious (and quite precocious) grandaughter, Carolyn Jean.
Tiffany and her husband, Larry (but you can just call him "Tadpole" she told me with a smile, and I was all like, well, alright, "Hi, Tadpole. I'm Chelsea. Nice to meet you") had been married for 20 years when Miss Cutie came along--a total surprise and blessing at the same time!

And let me tell you, Tiffany has her daddy's same loving, caring personality, and Carolyn Jean has both her momma's and grandaddy's!

Here are a few ADORABLE shots of Miss Carolyn Jean:



How much personality can you pack into such a tiny thing?!








Our little superstar was just a wee bit worn out after a full day of modeling...

Drowning Pool

A few of Drowning Pool's promo pics that I shot while they were here in June to play at Off the Wagon. Some awesome live concert shots from their show at OTW as well as at The Swamp in Fort Walton Beach, FL soon to come!

Heather + Rick Sneak Peek!

Sorry the site's been down for a few days ya'll! I stayed up till 12:30 last night working on it, and plan on suffering some extreme sleep deficiency to complete it tonight! I am so SUPER-excited about it, though!

Some new stuff headed your way--new gallery and proofing site at cpmac.smugmug.com which is already up and running...As customizable as it is, it's not my absolute choice, but it's pretty awesome as far as clients go. All you do is go there, locate your album, and view all your photos. You can also order prints (as can any of your friends and family) and pay by credit card (oooo...my weakness!)

Oh, and soon to come--FREQUENT blog posts!!! Yay!!!

Shot a super-fun wedding in Gulf Shores this weekend for Heather + Rick--and we can't forget their precious little man Cayton! (He walked his momma down the aisle!) Got to know the wedding couple as well as their friends and family and had a blast doing it! Heather and Rick also opted for a First Look, which was just SO beautiful, so be looking forward to that!

Every post is better with a pic, so here's a capture of all the fun and laughter! More to come soon!

So, I had two photo shoots today...the first was with a beautiul single momma, Rachel Lynn and her absolutely precious baby girl Raegan...one of Rachel's best friends, Bailey bought the packge for her for mother's day, and everything was perfect--from little bows and flowers to hot pink heels and earrings, mother and daughter made for some beautiful Mother's Day photos!
