Sneak peek: DJ

This was another fun shoot. It was early and quite cold outside, but this young man was a trooper (after we got him some hot cocoa, of course). For someone so young his expressions were wise and in the suit he looked very regal. Guys, I hope you enjoy your "2nd" sneak peek.

sneak peek: brother and sisters

Now introducing the sweetest, most well behaved children I've met. They have such a genuine love and respect for one another that reminds me of me and my brother and sister, now, not at their age though :). This was my first time working with 3 siblings but it will not be my last, especially with this bunch. They were so great, flexible, and fun, we all had an awesome time. Mom, I'm sure we have some Christmas card worthy shots here and I hope that you like that they all are in black and white.
Special note to the birthday boy: I'm buying you a cookbook!

sneak peek: sisters

I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph the cutest sisters EVER! They were a joy to work with and the youngest kept us all on our toes. It was obvious that big sister is accustomed to being in front of the camera because she did not have a shy bone in her body. Thanks for a great time Mom and Dad, I cannot wait to meet (and photograph) the newest member of the family when he or she arrives.

sneak peek: G

Yesterday's shoot was so much fun! We had an awesome time exploring the Art's District; there were so many colors and textures - I absolutely loved it.
As for my model, he could not take a bad picture if he tried to. This session made history for being the most shots I've ever taken! I'm going to have a tough time narrowing it down to a reasonable amount to choose from.
"G" I hope that you enjoy your sneak peek. Thanks being such a great sport and allowing me to practice on you.

My princess and her crown

This is from an impromptu shoot near my mom's house, this is one of a couple abandoned buildings sure to be torn down soon, I'm not exactly sure what it was before though.
I didn't realize until later how perfectly her dress blended with the location. I love the contrast of the softness of her dress with the ruggedness of the building.
This photo also captures her first professional hairstyle, my mom took her to the salon to have her hair braided about 3 days before this picture was taken. The way the braids frame her head reminds me of a crown, which perfectly suits my princess.
