Josh & Necia

Josh and Necia came to view their picture last week! I was so excited to have some fun and interesting stuff for them! They loved my all time favorite picture so far which was taken in their apartment with just the light in the living room! It looks very modern and would look awesome in their very nice apartment. I can’t wait for their wedding which is in just less than 2 weeks! Necia is just beautiful, and will be an absolutely gorgeous bride. Lucky guy, that Josh!
Enjoy…

Happy Thanksgiving!

Among all of the Christmas and wedding orders to fill by the end of the month, what did I choose to do during my day off?…Take more PICTURES! J/K…….no, but seriously……..but not really, J/K (Jennifer, that one’s fer you!)

What, am I crazy? No, just obsessed. I have been perfecting a technique, and really experimenting with back-lit lighting. I just got an awsome reflector and it’s huge, and since it was so pretty and sunny out, I just couldn’t resist!

I took pictures of some of my sweet cousins and little Sister. I have to say, they are a georgeous bunch! No joke, I only spent two minutes with each of them and was able to pull out these stunning shots! I had my new born baby straped on me and spent ten minutes outside, then headed back to the warm house.

After MINIMAL touch-up, this is what they looked like! I am just amazed at what a difference my reflector makes…my favorite new toy.

I played these all together in a slideshow with some music, and I got a little teary eyed (music makes the biggest impact!). I’ve known all of these girls since they were wee little babes, and I just can’t believe how beautiful they are becoming.

Lots of love to them, ENJOY!

Downtown Fun!

My good friend Kymberly let me play with her kids today and practice some new ideas. I hope you love them! I took out one girl and one boy together at a time. The boys did a good job and helped to keep the girls smiling for the camera. Thanks Guys 🙂

Senior, Jordan

This is my cool guy senior. He hates having his pictures taken, but he is a natural! I couldn’t take a bad picture of this kid. Thanks Jordan, people like to make my job easy 😉
By the way. You can “right click” and copy any of these pictures to your computer. I encourage any of my clients who want to use pictures from my blog, to take them, and post them on their “myspace” pages and show them to your friends and family! It lets you share, and it gets my name out and into the community as well! So, Jordan, take the picture you wanted as a poster, and use it as your wall paper!

Josh & Necia’s Engagement shoot

Josh and Necia’s Engagement pictures were fun and different. I did a lot of experimentation with different lighting set-ups that I’m not very practiced with yet, BUT I was glad that I decided to bring it all with me this time. Not even twenty minutes into our shoot, a super thick rain cloud rolled over us and its was too dark in an instant! Fortunately, it didn’t rain on us, but it forced me to step out of my comfort zone, and think a little differently. Some things worked, other things, not so much!
Don’t worry you guys, we still got great stuff! I’m not even posting my favorites! I couldn’t spoil the surprise, yanno? Looking forward to your viewing session! Enjoy…

Stu & Sara Second Glance…

Unfortunately, my poor bride, Sara, got sick and we had to cancel their viewing session 😦 So, I thought I’d post a few more for them to look at in anticipation! Hope this helps you to feel a little better Sara!!

Quick Glance…

I love this sequence from my most recent wedding. More coming soon…keep checking back!

Stephanie Senior-ita!

This was my Senior last week. Her name is Stephanie, and she was so great to photograph! The camera just loved her! She also had lots of great ideas for posing herself, I usually regretted tweaking her original position. I hope she loves all the pictures she got! These are all of her order, plus two more that I just really liked. Enjoy!

Here’s Henry Jacob Whitaker! Welcome to the world!
This is my new baby…can you blame me for being a little distracted??? he’s too cute! This is what keeps me busy these days. I decided I’d better get my act together and take some NB pics of him. This is at two weeks. By the way, I plan to take a few more when I can get my hubby to help out. I can’t quite hold is feet or hands and take the picture at an artistic angle all at the same time, yanno? things you don’t ever think about until the moment. But, I love these ones…

Jackson couldn’t have been less interested in getting his picture taken with his new baby brother. He’s in that stage of rebelion

Maternity Shoot!

So, yesterday I was having a lot of false labor. My Hubby even came home from work and we went for a few walks to keep thing moving along, but it was indeed a false alarm. BUT, as disapointed as we were, Missy came down for a couple hours today and was able to finally do some maternity shots for me!!! So, if I’d had the baby yesterday, I would not have these great pictures to show! Miss, I hope you like the way these ones are touched up!
