Last Week in the Studio

It's my last week in my current studio and I had to use the cool grungy wall up front one more time. I'm really going to miss this wall, but i think I have photographed it enough now.

A Portrait Adventure With Zoe

Now that it's getting cold I am grateful that I got to get out an enjoy the beautiful fall this year. As a bonus I got to work with some really great high school seniors. It's very special to me to have my portraits be their yearbook photos!

Zoe was a little nervous at first, as most of my clients are, but with my direction and silly fart jokes, we had a bunch of fun and got some amazing portraits. What a an adventure!

My favorite part was at this cafe I said "how about a Parisian Cafe look with the wood and the lights?" And Zoe said "Yes, I studied in Paris for a year". Am I a mind reader or what? 

Overworked and Happy

Numb fingers and shoulder pain, that is what the busy season feels like. Shooting, editing, retouching, rinse and repeat. Good thing I love my chiropractor. No pain, no gain right? 

So here's a little fun from one of my recent Senior Portrait Sessions.

Melting my heart

I am always honored when I get to photograph a special creative couple, and get to create heartwarming images. That's exactly what happened last Friday. It was a rainy day but we persevered and lucked out with a little bit of a reprieve from the storm. I am so happy how it turned out.

More Sexy Femme Fatales

The best type of compliment

A portrait client told me this evening after a portrait session:  "I was not looking forward to getting my photo taken today, but this was actually allot of fun!"

I actually hear this allot, and it never ever gets old. Maybe my energy and joy is that obvious, and I guess my goofiness is amusing. But I can't wait til they see the amazing photos!!

Alyssa the Femme Fatale

Had a great time with Alyssa in the studio tonight. She was showing off her love/addiction of Lip Service clothing, which I am a big fan of also. We let her Femme Fatale come roaring out, and got quite beautiful and sexy portraits. Plus we had fun!
