Claire Drummond Photography bio picture

Simplify=My Motto.  Life is hectic enough on its own, so I'm always looking for ways to simplify the process.  For me, simplifying the photography process meant getting rid of having both the traditional website and a blog.  Welcome to My Blogsite!  One handy place where you can find everything you need - from pricing to proofing, the family I recently photographed and even the occasional snapshot from my own life.

I'm a wife, a mom, a dancer, a photographer.  A daughter, a gardener, a Christian, a fighter for babies.  I believe in making yourself happy instead of waiting around on someone else to do it for you.  I believe in taking care of your body so that it can take care of you.  I believe in fighting for what you believe in, and standing up to those who would try and stop you.  I believe in small treasures; a Hershey's bar for a friend who's had a bad day, stickers for a child just because, hugs hugs and lots of hugs and kisses for the ones you love. 

Thanks for checking me out!  I'd love to be there with you through all your life's events:  weddings, pregnancies, baby milestones, senior portraits, grandchildren...and on and on.  Here's to a lifetime documented!

Contest Winner: Alden

Back in August, I held a contest on my facebook page (click here to visit!) for everyone going back to school. Folks submitted their child’s back to school photo, and a colleague of mine chose a winner from the entrants. Alden won, and we had a blast at her Millbrook Mini-Session!

Maternity: Betsy

You saw Betsy at 27 weeks here and then at 31 weeks here. She is expecting twins, so we decided to do several sessions to document her pregnancy. Today I’m posting our last session – 33 weeks. Betsy has informed me that she is DONE with pictures. Hahaha! She (all of us!!!) are soooo ready for Lexie and Libie to be here! Betsy is my dearest friend in the world, so no worries – you will get to see lots of the sweet babies, and of course, the whole family!

This one didn’t turn out exactly as we had thought, but that is the good part about having someone who will let you experiment on her! (Ashley, if you’re reading this, you’re next on this experiment!)

I have known this beautiful young woman since she was 11 years old. My how time flies! It was so much fun, and such an honor, to take a few photographs of her last week. Enjoy!

This photo courtesy of Big Brother Landon. He did a great job, dontcha think? (”Hey, if you come stand by me and let Mommy & Daddy take a picture by themselves, I’ll let you click my camera!” Works every time, wink wink!)

My sweet Catie was SUCH a good helper! There was not a single car going to sneek up on us! <3

Maternity: Betsy

Betsy is 27 weeks pregnant…with twin girls! I am ecstatic for her and her sweet family, and can’t wait for these babies to get here! She is my dearest friend, and we are doing her maternity photos a bit differently….a teeny little session every couple of weeks from now until babies make their appearance. We want to really chronicle the last part of her pregnancy, so you will be seeing lots of her sweet family for a while!

Family: Williams

After being out of the newborn scene for a very long time, I took a leap of faith today. And of course, I couldn’t just ease myself in…oh no!…I jumped right on in with TWINS! And do you know what? It was absolutely fantastic! I loveloveloved it!

Family: Fulton

Dream clients, I tell ya! So much fun, spent the entire time joking around with each other, and up for anything! These are their last family photos before both of their daughters are no longer living at home. Such a great way to document this time in their lives!
