Vintage Photo Shoot

A dear friend of mine had this wonderful idea to take pics of her daughter in a downtown location all dressed up and playing "the mommy" roll.  No acting on their part... they played the roll perfectly.  Haley and Charlee really loved putting on the big dresses, the high heal shoes and all the bling to walk down the sidewalk with their babies.  Too cute!!  I think these turned out amazing.  If you like, please comment. Love to read the feedback. Also, we can schedule a time for your little one (s) too. 30 min, 2 outfits, location of your choice, 15 diff photos and the disk with rights to the photos all for $ 50.00 thru July.

Davis Family Finals

Remember earlier when I told you about my dear friend, Kari and Jami? Well I had to work tonight until I go all their photos done.  Finals are in!!! I love you guys and hope that I have preserved memories for you and your family.  xoxoxo

Crowell Family

Finals are in... I had so much fun on this shoot.  Not only did I watch their dad (Timmy) grow up, I now get to watch them grow. Timmy is like a brother to me. He ran around with one of my baby brothers.  I love when I get the a phone call from the past.  Nothing but the best to Capture You Life with but photos.  I did go a bit overboard on the pics.  I hope you like as much as I do.  Enjoy the preview. 

Sorella Group Bio

I finished my photos for the Sorella Group Bio pictures for their company website today.http://www.sorellagroupinc.com/ I have to admit that I am excited about the outcome. This was my first job that involved portrait head shots for a company.  I mostly work with natural lighting and use my elements, but this time I was creative and worked outside of my comfort zone.  Not too shabby. I think I might like the corporate thing after all.  I just posted a few of the shots but took several for some ideas for their website in the making.  Sorella Group is working on their new website and have some amazing ideas for their employees pictures and personalizing each one individually. I had an opportunity to shoot some personal items, head shots, and favorites that were unique to each person. I am excited to see the new website and see my handy work.

Ooh, la, la!!!!

Ooh, la, la! I love summer photos – especially for the holidays.
The birds are chirping. The bees are buzzing. My flowers are in full bloom. It’s summertime – the perfect time to shoot your holiday card. Yes, you heard me. Let’s serve up some summertime sizzle when the holiday season rolls around.

We can get the kids outside with their popsicles and capture their sticky faces. Or how about we shoot some county fairground fun? People love receiving holiday cards that warm their hearts, especially when the forecast calls for frost. Plus, it’s way more fun to take your family photographs outside in summer than to stuff the kiddos in their snowsuits and head out to a studio for the annual mug shot.

What ideas do you have for a fun “summertime” holiday card? Let the brainstorming begin…

Ahhh, what to wear? What to wear!

As if choosing what to wear each morning isn’t hard enough! What in the world do you wear to your photo shoot? No worries. The goal of a good photographer is to capture you and your emotions – not your clothing. This being said, you want to look your best. So, follow these five rules for flawless-looking photos:

1. Don’t be a busy body. Your photo is no time for frills, plaids, logos, stripes or checks. Choose a shirt that lets your face be the hero of the shot. If it’s winter, consider a turtleneck, which offers flattery without the frump.
2. Don’t let your colors take center stage. Reds and oranges can overpower you, while yellows and tans can wash you out. Instead, consider darker colors if we’re shooting against a dark background. Denim, pastels and whites are right for shooting outside.
3. Don’t be afraid to mix it up. Grab a collared shirt and throw your favorite sweater over it. Bring along your favorite pashmina. Pops of color over white will add interest to your photos without overpowering your face.
4. Don’t short yourself. It’s best to avoid short sleeves and shorts in a photo. These items offer up too much skin, which ultimately takes the focal point away from your face.
5. It’s all about comfort. When it comes down to it, the more comfortable you are, the more relaxed you’ll be. And the more relaxed you are, the more fabulous you’ll look. And, for me this is what our time together is all about!

WORKING ON SOMETHING BIG!!

Social media is where I need to be to reach out and let you know I am here.  Working on my packages for the summer and fun contest to win a free session, photos or Jaz wear.  In the meantime, drop me a line or call me if you are interested in a photo session, event, fun family or a small garden wedding.
