Studio appointment

A few weeks ago, I had the honor of shooting my beautiful niece’s Senior portraits!  It was one of those times I was overcome with pride!  Joy is uncommonly sweet, so when the opportunity came to shoot her portraits, I was more than excited to get started! And then……the rain came.  UGH! Every photographers worst [...]

A lesson on Beauty

Let me share a little lesson with you: YOU are beautiful. Got it? YOU are beautiful! Sometimes we don’t hear that enough. I had the honor of shooting a friend of mine, and when I showed her the photo, she didn’t believe me when I told her I didn’t have to photoshop much of the [...]

White Family

I had the pleasure of shooting a fantastic family!  I’ve known this young lady since she was a teenager in the Youth dept at church!  (Wait….that gives my age…..scratch that whole “I knew her when” comment.) I simply adore this family!  Their interaction with each other was so sweet! And I LOVE those spontaneous moments!

Location! Location! Location!

Realtors have long used this mantra to sell homes, but I’m stealing it.  It really is all about LOCATION when you are shooting portraits.  My goal is to always match the location with my subject. Let me give you an example: This is Boogie.  He is a dancer.  I would not stick him in a [...]

Gotta love those boys!

I think teenagers are probably one of my most FAVORITE subjects to shoot!  (Tied with newborns…..oh newborns…..they may be my ultimate favorite…..) But sometimes, teenage boys can be a little more difficult, or rather, they’d like everyone to believe that.    I’m here to tell you, they are not.  They need to be put at [...]

He also plays the guitar….(I so LOVE this picture of him!)And….he is a very accomplished golfer!  (I will be able to [...]
