My favorite...Urban pics and photo overload

Ok, I just LOVE doing shots like these. It's all about the extras. You have to hunt down cool locations, add something funky like bright clothes, tutu's, jackets, etc..., and throw in some rusted-out textured backgrounds. LOVE IT!! Anyway, just so we're clear -- THE KIDDOS ARE NOT CHAINED DOWN; THEY ARE HOLDING THE CHAIN(you know clanging it against the building and pulling on it)! My silly husband was like, "Is he chained to that thing?" I mean really honey, I like to say I go the distance for the perfect shot, but, no, I wouldn't chain our son in place. WINK WINK:)!

I went out with some photographer friends of mine to do some of our kids pictures and it was lots of fun. We did have full, bright sun to deal with, but whatta ya do? Sorry, I know there's tons of pics and I should break it down by kid, but I'm so behind on adding photoshoot sneak peeks that I've just got to get these all in.

PS. If you're waiting for a sneak peek I'm working on them. I'll have last Thursday's shoot on here by tomorrow, and then the weekend shoots on here after that. Thanks for being patient with me.

Sneak Peek for Jen

Here's a sneak peek for Jen, "C" with an I, and family:) I know you were stressing when the kids were having "issues" with one another, but that's soooooo normal. Hope you enjoy!

1st Senior this school year

Here's a sneak peek for Ms. L and her mom. I had a blast shooting these pics...they just scream "easy, breezy, beautiful covergirl" to me. She is so pretty and extremely photogenic. Thanks for being so fun!

Her own agenda

I really love this one. Caught a natural moment between them.




Here's a sneak peak for this great family. The 7-year-old was such a help, while the little one had her own agenda of what we should be doing:) I was so afraid I wouldn't end up with any pictures of her, but did manage to get some. Here you go Liessa.

Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Yeah! Got a canvas for myself

I finally ordered a canvas for myself and really love the way it came out. Couldn't decide on any one picture so I made a collage of pics with a poem. The one image is how it looked when I ordered it, and the one hanging on the wall is the final product. I had them do a black border along the sides because it is a stretched canvas that is ready to hang when you get it. Love it!

So Fun! Sneak Peek

here you go girls, I know you want to see one with your sweet dog.

These were some of the crazier ones. Snapped the one of mom getting her out of the tree just for fun and love the way it came out...just the girls having fun.



Here's a sneak peak of a super-fun shoot recently. These girls were so easy-going and up for anything including dancing, tree-climbing, and doggie kisses. And even going to a field of wild weeds that I had been eyeing for a while. Thanks for being so fun to work with girls! You too, Snowball. Enjoy!
