More to come…

I was hoping to get these posted by  Monday because I think Lynsey’s session turned out really great, but I’ve been pretty sick since Sunday night. Actually the whole family has sort of passed it around. Anakin was sick Friday after school & had to miss out on the Juvenile Diabetes Walk on Saturday, and by Sunday night Crystal & I were both feeling awful. Anakin got over it by Monday, and Crystal & I are starting to feel better.  So that was no fun.

Ok, back to the shoot, I met up Lynsey & her boyfriend Eric on Sunday for pictures at one of my favorite spots.  While we were shooting a dog was running around without a leash,  he was really cute, I’m not sure what kind of dog he was (I’m more of a cat person), but Eric went to check on the situation, and when the owners caught him, they were beating the dog! He asked them to stop & the woman looked at him & started whipping the dog.  How awful was that, poor dog.  So he saved the day by calling the police, and a little while later we saw the police come & take care of things thankfully, and hopefully the dog will be placed with better owners.  I get really upset about animal abuse. :(

On a brighter note, I think we had an awesome senior portrait shoot, Lynsey is really sweet & so pretty. She has tried so many different things in her life. I think that’s an admirable trait.

This picture makes me feel like “summer”

Doesn’t Lynsey have some gorgeous eyes going on?

This image above & the one at the top of the post were the result of over 30 seperate images combined for some wild lighting effects. The light is a bit more subtle in this picture than in the one at the top of the post.  Thanks for letting me experiment Lynsey!

I’m loving those shades with her dress!

What a crazy weekend, on Saturday I got to tag along with Teresa of Wiz of Oz Photography for a wedding, we had a blast. The most entertaining part was chasing down a particularly adorable camera shy flower girl. :) Great time.

Then today was such gorgeous day! I’m so happy that spring is finally showing it’s face. I was so sick of being stuck indoors. Cory & I got a chance to shoot the fabulous Melissa today for her senior pictures. It was great getting outside for a shoot, and it doesn’t hurt having someone as fun & pretty as Melissa to shoot. Afterwords Cory’s parent’s took us out for dinner for Cory’s birthday, which is coming up Tuesday (yep St. Patricks day). So a pretty great day.

Here are some of my favorite shots from today’s session. :)

Look at those gorgeous eyes.



Her parents made us put her behind bars, lol.

Cory took this one, I love it.


Faith & Rachael

September 9, 2008

My little sister Faith and her friend Rachael are both seniors this year. I was pretty excited to get to shoot their senior portraits. We’ve gotten to know Rachael pretty well over the last year, she’s gone on camping trips with the family and they both come over to swim all summer. My daughter really looks up to both of them. She has a little plastic cell phone that she runs around with “texting people like Faith & Rachael do.” Since that’s all these girls do we had to take some pictures with their cell phones. Unfortunately my new favorite spot for portraits was loaded with bugs this time, not sure if it’s the time of year or because we arrived later in the evening, but it was pretty awful. They still managed to look gorgeous, thanks for being such good sports about it. Anyways, we had a lot of fun and I think we got some really great photos.


My favorite picture of Faith.


One of my favorite shots of Rachael, Cory took this one and I think it looks really natural.


Another great shot from Cory.


This one is probably my favorite from the whole shoot, I love how pretty Rachael looks in that dress and the lovely sunset lighting.
