Lovely Mamma-To-Be

I just knew Trish's Mamma-To-Be pics were going to turn out amazing - She is absolutely glowing with love!  Add Pappa to the mix, and you have such a beautiful family - this kid is going to be blessed.  I'm so glad I got to help capture their pre-baby bliss :-)

Oh, Colorado...

Poor Cason - I made him turn off at every old shed, railroad track, and piece-of-rustic-whatever for impromptu photo-shoots on our recent Colorado vacation.  The good news though, is that the pictures turned out beautifully!

Life is a Cabaret...

I had a blast photographing the backstage antics of PCA's recent smash hit - CABARET.  After I finished building the Press Books for the cast, I just knew I had to share some of the pictures on the blog! 

The WOW Factor

Working with Becky was AMAZING.  Not only is this fresh-faced teenager of the sweetest disposition, she's also stunningly beautiful.  I had so much fun working on these pics for her portfolio!

As you can see, we had a BLAST :-)  And you can have a slew of awesome photos of yourself too!

Plus, in addition to my great photo packages, I'm thrilled to be able to offer a new Model Add-On to clients - whether you're working on your portfoio or just want to feel like a model for a day, makeup artist Ginny is available to make you look amazing on your shoot for just $100.  She'll make sure you look beautiful at every click, and you're final portrait package will include shots that look like they belong in a magazine!

Meet Charlie!

Babies and tots might just be my favorite photo subject because they are always ADORABLE - making my job of capturing their adorableness super easy (as long as they're not having a meltdown :-P)    

Little Charlie Ann was a wonderful little model for this fun portrait session we did in her nursery - throw down some blankets and put her in a tutu and she's ready for her close up!

I'm so honored to have been able to take this little cherub's photo (and Sushi the dog too)  What a beautiful way to welcome spring spring!

Fun with Vintage...

I know, I know...  I've been terrible about updating the blog!  But Spring has sprung and I have photo fever!  Time to share a few recent shoots with you, and invite you to think about YOUR Spring Shoot.  (I'm running an awesome Spring Special - two hours for just $125!)  But enough about business - let's look at some pictures :-)

Trevor and Kaiti were up for some vintage flare a few weeks ago, so we drove down a dusty road and started snapping.  What a treat to find some super cool spots to shoot - and swings to play on.

I love these shots of Kaiti - it's really amazing what a few twists of the contrast and saturation can do to liven up a photo.  Most of these pics were edited using Rad Lab - a very cool (and ridiculously easy to use) software program for Photoshop.

Shooting digitally really affords a ton of flexibility in the final outcome of photos - knowing that we were going for a vintage feel on these gave me a ton of free reign to get really creative. I love portraiture, and I love getting to play - I was so happy with the outcome: really fun, artistic portraits that have a funky non-traditional vibe.

So - who's next?  :-)
