I am SO excited to announce that I will be teaching a beginners photography workshop next month on the Bloom Forum. And I am beyond thrilled to be teaching it with the talented Kara May. I am so grateful for the beginners Bloom Workshop that I took when I was starting out, it taught me more than I could of imagined. Kara and I want to make our workshop that same experience for those who sign up. Read the information below to see what our workshop entails. It is for those who are just wanting to take better pictures and those wanting to go professional. Sign up for the workshop will start at the beginning of October but you MUST be a Bloom Forum member to take part in the workshop. Go here to sign up and get future information about how to be a part of this workshop! The seats are $200 to be active and $150 for silent. Looking forward to meeting you!

You have all heard me talk about the awesome Bloom Forum. It is an amazing forum full of some of my favorite photographer’s. We not only offer amazing workshops, but we also have the most FABULOUS vendors in the photography industry. Well, with this weekend being the biggest shopping time of the year, they had some amazing sales up their sleeves too. So head on over to the Bloom blog tomorrow to see the amazing discounts that our vendors are offering for black friday. I have already seen a sneak peek, you will not be dissapointed!

I have been getting several inquiries lately wondering where I am located. I just wanted to take a minute to let everyone know I am in Tucson now. I no longer service the Memphis area. I live in Tucson and will be photographing in the Tucson area, but also will travel to Phoenix for sessions. Thanks so much for your patience with the move, I am looking forward to building new relationships with wonderful clients in Tucson!

Feel free to email with any questions. Stephanie@stephaniemoorestudios.com

I have had several emails lately asking about mentoring. I have decided I will take one, maybe two depending on my schedule, mentoring sessions before I move. I am in Memphis for 6 more weeks and then will be headed out to Arizona. If you have inquired in the past, or are now interested, please email me at stephanie@stephaniemoorestudios.com for details.
And because I can’t leave without a picture, here is a photo I took of my daughter a couple weeks ago. I have several more I will share later but here is one for now!!!
If anyone knows a secret to slowly my children’s aging down, will you please tell me. I have no idea where the past 7 years has gone, she has grown up way too fast!!!

I have been getting email inquiries from people in Tucson now (yay) and from people still here in Memphis which I so appreciate!!! I wanted to make sure to keep all my clients and future clients in the loop on when we leave. We are in Memphis until Mid July and then we will be moving to Arizona. I will continue to take clients up until we move. And then I will start taking Arizona clients as soon as we move out there. I will probably take it slow at first so we can get settled, but I already have my first newborn on my calendar in July!
I will only be taking a few more Saturday clients here in Memphis, they have filled up really fast. I can fit in some more weeknight clients too if needed. My April is completely full, and May is almost full. So if you are wanting a session please contact me soon.
I am writing this post to clarify that I do currently live in Memphis but will be moving to AZ July 17th. Soon I will be changing everything over on my blog to say Tucson, but want everyone to know I will continue to take a few more Memphis clients.
Thanks so much for all my amazing clients, I am so blessed! And because I can’t leave without a picture, here are some of my favorite pictures from my face 2 face workshop I went to recently.

I first met Shea in Texas last month at the Bloom workshop. We roomed together the first night and let me tell you, she is one of the most laid back, fun and carefree people. I was thrilled when she asked if she could mentor with me for a day. She made the drive from her town of Clinton, MS to Memphis last weekend and we had a blast. She wanted to start off the morning with me photographing her and her handsome little boys. They were such well behaved children, I was super impressed, they did fantastic. Then Shea wanted to work on shooting families and seniors. So luckily I was able to get some fantastic models together and got some great shots. After shooting the models we came back to my place and edited them together. My work flow is pretty quick these days so I was able to teach her how to speed up her work flow a little. We had a BLAST, I think we were both worn out by the end of the day but it was tons of fun.
First are a few pictures of Shea and her sweet boys and then I posted some of our models. I will post some more of the models next week, they really were fantastic. But here’s a sneak peek for now!

My senior model wasn’t really a high school senior, more a college senior! But she is gorgeous either way!

This families Dad was on call last weekend and happened to get called in to work so he couldn’t make it. We were bummed he couldn’t make it but still got some beautiful pictures of their adorable children. I was so thrilled with their outfits, they dressed exactly like I tell my clients to dress!

Big thanks to Shea for asking me to mentor you, we had a blast. And a huge thanks to our beautiful models for being such great sports!

I can’t believe it but after almost 6 long years we are finally moving back to Arizona. We have loved our time in the South but are ready to live back in our home state. We will be living in Tucson which is about 1.5 hours away from where we both grew up. We are ready to be back by family again and to have our kids grow up with their cousins. We feel so grateful for the wonderful people we have met here in the South, and feel truly blessed. I am especially grateful for the wonderful clients I have had here in Memphis, my photography business has grown so quickly thanks to you.
We aren’t moving until AUGUST so I will continue to take clients here in Memphis through the end of July. If you already have a session scheduled with me than don’t worry, I am planning on it. If you want to book a session before I go, please book soon because I am filling up fast.
I will start taking clients in the Tucson and Phoenix areas starting in September. I will continue to take newborn, children, family, seniors and couples once I move. I also am excited because I am going to start taking Weddings too once we move to Tucson.
You will notice I am going to start putting Tucson on my posts periodically. It takes time for the search engines to recognize you once you move, so hopefully starting now will help me be found online once we move out in August. I will alternate between Tucson and Memphis for a while so don’t be alarmed, just because it says Tucson doesn’t mean I have moved already.
And because I can’t have a post without a picture, my favorite (and only) brother and sister in law came out to visit a couple weeks ago. We had so much fun eating tons of food and visiting lots of sites. My sister in law is a fitness guru. She is extremely knowledgeable about health and on top of that she is a 2nd degree black belt. Go check out her site for some awesome fitness tips and like her facebook page so you can stay updated! This is just a taste of what we get to go home to!

Please continue to come back and visit my site, even when I am gone!!!!
