The whole package

This senior was adorable. She's pretty, easy-going, confident(in a good way!), knows what she wants to do after she graduates, and already has a huge love and devotion for her future university. And best of all she said that she loves color -- which is right up my alley!

Enjoy your sneak peek S!

A windy evening

The weather this day was gorgeous. I didn't notice any wind at all until right about the time we met up and got out of our cars -- and wow, it was blowing like we couldn't believe. We found walls to hide behind, crouched down, and I would say "Ok, hold your hair until I say 3" and then I'd click away in a hurry. Nothing like having a little natural wind to make you look like you're in front of fans at a modeling shoot. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Mother/daughter pics

I love mother/daughter pictures. There's that special bond there between moms and their girls. I really should have this done with my girls -- especially before they get too sassy for this! I've known this mom since I moved to a new area in 6th grade. We became friends and there was a whole group of us that hung out together. We played softball together as well as got into mischief together (oh, the good ole' days). Then we both had girls within 8 weeks of each other and they've been able to grow up together -- which I think is really cool.

Hope you enjoy the sneak peek girls!

XOXO to this senior

She wanted something different. She didn't want what all her fellow seniors were going to have. She searched the Internet and found an image in my senior gallery in a field of flowers and wanted that. We had to wait several months for the flowers to bloom, but they're finally here. I just know that her mother thought that I was completely nuts! They drove across town to meet me and I took them to a building that is in the process of being built with supplies, sheetrock, insulation and the likes lying around. Then I was so excited about the purple dumpster there. Her mom watched from a distance and I know that she was thinking "I drove across town for this -- a dumpster?" Next, more buildings that aren't yet finished, and finally the field of flowers. Luckily, Miss R loves photography and could see my vision in all of these places. I really hope you (and your mom) like the results. I had a blast!








If I just had a couple of these fantastic dumpster backgrounds lying around...

Little Stud Muffin

I absolutely love when I get to take pictures of this little guy or his cousin. I used to work with his mom and aunt. When we do pictures of little "W" or his cousin they usually all come as well as the grandmother. We also usually schedule them when my crew is here. It's like one big chaotic photoshoot/playdate that doesn't seem like work at all. He was so good; all smiles and lots of pictures with his tongue out. He has the coloring of his dad, but the facial expressions of his mom. And with those big blue eyes he couldn't take a bad picture.

Running from the rain

We had a slight chance of rain this Sunday afternoon. We didn't see it until we had walked quite a ways up a street to capture some images under the trees and in the street. And all of a sudden what started out as a drizzle became full-fledged raindrops. We ran for the cars. She was protecting her hair and clothing and I was protecting my gear. We really had just gotten started and had to be creative to get some more images, but we managed. I had a blast as I always do with seniors. That and newborns are definitely a fave of mine.
Enjoy your sneak peek!
