She's a little bit country.....

She's a little bit country and a little bit rock-n-roll classical ballerina!!  I was excited to work with this HS Senior and was even more excited when her wardrobe included cowboy boots which I was hoping were my size....j/k.  We went from a little country flare to the elegant ballet moves and positions capturing her personality.  It was a joy to work with this young HS Senior who was both endearing and gracious!!  Thank you for a fun evening!!

Class of 2013 - Look Out!

I am getting caught up on my blog this week and as I look back at this gorgeous HS Senior I can remember over a year ago talking to her mom about photographing her daughter for her Senior portraits.  Already knowing she was an athlete, we talked about incorporating her love of softball into her session.  With a beautiful summer evening and lots of laughs I had so much fun getting to know this HS Senior!!  Here are a few of my favorites from her session.

Just stunning....

Back to School Days....

In honor of going back to school this week I am posting a few fun images from a recent back-to-school themed shoot.  These two adorable girls have been featured on my blog in the past as they are my little nieces from Arizona!!  Wishing you girls a wonderful school year!!  XOXO

Beautiful inside and out!

This High School Senior is just beautiful!  I love that she is just as beautiful on the inside as the outside.  Her kind heart sure came across after spending an evening together.  The idea of a session at her High School campus was both peaceful and perfect with amazing light that evening.  Between dribbling a soccer ball in heels, a flute concert in the field and ending the night solving a case of the missing shoe, she was a great sport!!!  I LOVE what we captured! 

Here Comes the Bride...and Groom!

This darling couple had the most gorgeous wedding day...75 degrees and sunny!  They couldn't have asked for a more perfect day to exchange their wedding vows.  I couldn't help but notice how they looked at each other throughout the day, with total love in their eyes!  Writing their own vows expressed their deep commitment to one another and was extremely touching.  The bride had the most infectious smile that I have ever seen!  You couldn't help but be so thrilled for the two of them!  Congratulations!!  Here's a sneak peek from your wedding day!

This was such a sweet moment!!!  I LOVE this one!

Handsome High School Senior!

I really enjoy working with High School Seniors.  It is such a unique time in a persons life as they prepare for graduation and their future.  I must say that I have been so impressed with the High School seniors I have met so far, and this boy is equally as impressive!!  Easy going and handsome, he embraced the warm evening with the best attitude!!  How fun that he brought his awesome dog!  These are some of my favorites from your session:    

Someone special turned Two!

I can hardly believe this sweet little girl just turned two!  Having photographed her as a newborn made this day extra special!  The ringlet curls and the little dimples put a smile on my face every time I look at her images!  I don't think she could be any cuter....and how fun that I got to spend an afternoon with her capturing a special birthday!!  I just treasure the expressions of a two year old, especially hers! 

Stunning High School Senior!

I was so complimented when this stunning girl from Kansas came to see me for her HS Senior session!  She is an absolute sweetheart and we had such a great time during her session(s).  We actually broke her session into two so she could have different hair styles.  I love both of her looks!!  Little did we know that she would be serenaded with mexican music and we would find the hottest teenage summer hangout by the end of her photo shoot!  Thank you so much for trusting me to capture this special time in your life!

a little extra artwork on this one! 

Two brothers!

These brothers met up with me for their session on what turned out to be one of the most beautiful mornings this summer!  With a prior week of pure humidity, the rain pushed that aside to make way for a perfect day!  It was a treat to photograph these super handsome boys!  While the oldest was full of smiles, the younger brother pulled at my heartstrings with the cutest, big-blue-eyed serious looks!  I'm a sucker for the serious expressions, I admit.  I love what we captured that morning!  Thanks for spending your morning with me, boys!

Darling young girl!

I am getting a little behind on updating my blog now that summer has started.  I can't wait any longer to post a few images of this darling young girl.  Getting ready to enter a pageant this summer, she needed some updated photographs!  She has the sweetest personality and so much talent....including playing the drums!  No doubt that she will do great at the pageant!  Now, let me share a peek of what we captured on a warm (ok, that is being mild...hot evening).  You were a trooper and did a great job!!



The light was amazing and shooting with backlight made for some gorgeous images!
