Jumping Ahead!

Well there is more to share from my big road trip in August, but let me post some updates from a few recent sessions! This little cutie is Faith and she was a MOVER! She is only 8-months old but she was already crawling and definitely not interested in sitting still for her portrait!!! I think we still managed to do pretty well and got some definite keepers. We did the session at Faith's grandma's house and there was the cutest little dog there. Macy was adorable and I was happy to get a few quick portraits of her as well!

Next stop on the Road Trip!

Well, after staying at my sister's for three nights we headed into San Jose to stay with our friends for three nights. As a thank you I offered to take some portraits of their youngest! She is a little doll and although this was a super-quick session I think we got some great shots. Here are a few that caught my eye!

Another Senior!

This is a friend of my niece's and we did her session at the same time. She was such an easygoing girl and did whatever I asked. I am slowly but surely getting through the rest of these and will get the full proof set out soon!

Sneak Peak for Holli!

I was gone for most of August on a roadtrip with my two kiddos! We started off taking two days to drive to the Sacramento area to see my sister and her family. We ALWAYS have a good time there, and my two nieces, ages 12 and 16 (at the time, 17 now!) were great with my kids. I was flattered that they wanted me to take Holli's senior pictures while I was there so I brought my "studio" with me so we could create some great indoor shots as well as some outside. Well, we just got back from our trip last Saturday after being gone for 3 1/2 weeks! I haven't been able to proof all the images yet but here is a bit of a sneak peek of what I have so far! I can't wait to show the rest!!!

Holli has an AMAZING smile as I'm sure you can see. I do actually have some with her not smiling but I think I was just drawn to these initially because her smile is so radiating and "sunny!" :-)

Happy Baby!

I ran into a friend at the Battelle Salmon Bake this past weekend and couldn't resist taking a quick picture of her cute baby boy! He was in a good mood with big smiles.... a perfect combination for a perfect image! I love the bright colors in his shirt too. It has SUMMER written all over it!

Beautiful Woman Session!

Tag Line: "I'm not 40, I'm 18 with 22 years experience!"

This was done for a client who is turning 40 and just wanted to celebrate herself!!! What a great attitude and a fun lady! She is also the hair and makeup stylist, Susan Hayward, listed on the postcard below.

As women, we are often the ones taking the pictures and rarely in pictures ourselves. Wouldn't it be nice to have a portrait of yourself that celebrates you? It doesn't necessarily have to be romantic or sexy.... maybe you are just after a classy portrait to display on a loved ones' desk. What better way to do it then with a hair and makeup stylist included in the session fee! I know this is an area I don't excel in myself and having a professional take care of my hair and makeup, especially for a portrait, would be essential!

Don't be shy ladies, give me a ring!!!

My Little Angels.....

Well, these were taken on Mothers' Day. It was my only request. No eating out at a fancy restaurant, no presents, no chocolate or flowers! I wanted new portraits of my kids! Let's just say my kids haven't grasped the concept of doing something they don't want to do in order to make someone else happy!! However, we did get it done and I AM happy with the results. I can't believe how fast these guys are growing..... I want to capture everything about them. But I'll take one expression at a time.
