09 Senior: Zach

Friday, October 31st, 2008

What a great time! I was told before the shoot that Zach wasn’t really into getting his photos done (it was a ‘for mom’ thing), but I don’t believe it. He was great and I loved the images we got (and I am pretty sure he had a good time ;)
Zach’s girlfriend Rachel was also there (which I loved, you wouldn’t believe the smiles she could get out of him! it was great). I grabbed this shot while Zach was changing his shirt…isn’t she gorgeous!Future seniors – if you want to bring your boyfriend/girlfriend along…it’s ok, really, I don’t mind! I love having someone else there to help get great expressions!

work space

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

I read a lot of blogs. Really, a lot. I always love when people post images of where & how they live. It is so great to see what makes people happy and what they like to have around day to day. I thought I would give you just a little glimpse of where I spend my day (when I am not photographing). This is my workspace and little details that help me get through the day, like my favorite flowers, clipboard schedule, brand new comfy office chair, my mac workhorse (I don’t know how I worked without it!), and a couple flea market finds.
*That great photo is of my parents a few years ago ;) It is my favorite picture of them!

**I also have a few other spaces I plan to share (we finally painted & finished the kitchen!) Stay tuned!

It’s here!

View the new site here.*There are a few things that need adjusting (splash page, header), but I was so excited I just wanted you all to see it! Thanks for being so supportive and reading my blog!

09 Senior: Katy

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008


I have been waiting for this particular shoot for a very long time! If you follow this blog at all, you know or have caught on to the fact that I have the most supportive family ever! Hence, all my amazing cousins that have chosen me to photograph their senior pictures.
This family is more than just my aunt, uncle & cousins. They are closer than those titles. Growing up everyone thought that Lindsay (the oldest) was our sister…we were always together. They took me on one of my favorite vacations ever with them – Maine, I love Maine. They just live right across the road and always have sugar or potatoes or whatever we are out of, and they don’t mind sharing.
I love this family so, so much.
And, I love these photos.

The best part is that we aren’t done. We are having another session this winter! I *love* winter sessions!
Thank you Katy! You rocked this session!
*Oh, be prepared for a photo overload – I couldn’t just pick a few.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

So sorry, I forgot to remove the minimum order cost, so sorry if that caused confusion…it’s cleared up now (there isn’t one)!

Have a great weekend!

Katie & Brandon

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

They don’t come much sweeter than Katie. Really, as I was editing their photos I just kept smiling because I could hear her adorable laugh! Katie has the absolute cutest smile – and it’s always on her face. Brandon was more of the quite type, but the looks he gave Katie…you instantly knew that they are in love, and boy, he could make her smile. Thank you to Katie & Brandon, it was such a fun shoot and your property couldn’t be prettier. I can’t wait for the wedding next year!

Richard, Hayley & Sophie

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

I *love* photographing this family. I mean it…I love it! Not just for the obvious reasons, you know – because they are ridiculously gorgeous, they love having photo shoots (we average 2 a year), or that Sophie really couldn’t get much cuter. It’s because I get to see this amazing life and love that my very first friend (other than my sisters) has found. Hayley and I met in the basement of Bainbridge United Methodist Church…we were probably around 4. She has been my friend since that day.
It is so amazing for me to watch her and her beautiful family interact together…they are so great. I am blessed to call them friends, even more, I consider them family.
To Richard, Hayley & Sophie – Thank you from the bottom of my heart for choosing me to document your family…it is an honor. I am so blessed that I have photographed Sophie since she was born and I am eternally grateful for that.
I love you guys!

Here are a few I picked out for the blog – trust me, there are many, many more.
I’ll post a slideshow soon.

*This is the image I send when clients have questions on what to wear:I think it goes without saying…but we had *amazing* light!

What a look!One of my very favorite images from the session:
