Lindsay – Senior 2009

Yes, another senior.  I REALLY love doing senior sessions.  In fact, I like them so much, I’d almost consider doing nothing but senior portraits.  They are so much fun and allow for a ton of fun when composing and proofing – they totally ROCK!
This pretty girl is Lindsay.  Lindsay was a bit quiet at first,...

Emily – senior 2009

Well, it just keeps happening…
I keep getting the opportunity to photograph students I had WAY back in elementary school (when I was a nutty elementary school teacher), only now they are all grown up and graduating!  It makes me feel SO old, but I’m excited to see them all doing so well.

3 Generations of Beautiful Women

As you’ve already figured out from my last post, this past weekend was VERY busy with mini-sessions.  I’m getting the sneak peeks up slowly, but surely.  So, be patient they will come.
This trio was so much fun to photograph.  They represent 3 generations of their family – grandmother, daughter, and granddaughter.  Amazing!  What an awesome...

Emmerson – 3 years

I’m gonna make this a really quick post for a Monday morning, but I’m running on fumes…there’s really no telling what I might say if I continue on for too long.  I’m better off just showing you all the cool photos this little gal produced in a short mini-session this weekend.
She’s AMAZING!
You might recognize her...

Easter Sunshine

I’m just now getting a chance to share all of our Easter goodness with you guys.  There was almost TOO much goodness to go around.  I think I may have gained 5 lbs last week – all that candy I told the boys they COULDN’T eat…I ATE.
Well, except for a little bit…
AND, it’s a good...

Tyler and Eric – Senior 2009

These two are probably ready to strangle me for being so slow with the sneak peek, but NOW all will be forgiven.  The pics couldn’t have turned out better.  I think their session is one of my absolute favorite senior sessions to date.  By the way, I was playing around a bit with the images...

We decided it...
