A beautiful couple and a beautiful day

I just finished editing some engagement shots of a couple who is getting married this summer. It was a BEAUTIFUL day at Neale Woods, if a little chilly out. Thank goodness Photoshop can help with pink noses!

As much as I love shooting there, I don't know if I can pull it off again. As we were leaving, we were casually asked by a member of the staff what we were up to. I played it off, like I assumed it was all cool: "We just finished the most amazing photo shoot! Thanks for keeping this place looking so beautiful. Have a nice day!" But I don't think he was impressed.

I love the pictures, though. :)

It was a crazy busy day today. I got a lot done though, and that always feels good!

On my list: Sending that sales tax money I've been collecting back to the state. Not fun for me, as my talents are more in photography than accounting.

But I did get to meet a sweet couple, Sarah and Kevin. They have been engaged for a while now, and as their May date is approaching fast, they are honing in on the details. Like me. :) I hope to hear back from them soon.

I got a couple of pics for senior guys finished up, too, which is good, so I can start to work on their albums!

New Studio!!!

If you haven't had indoor photos taken recently, then you haven't seen the NEW STUDIO! It has vaulted ceilings, tons of natural light, and an office area with seating to sit down and really get to know couples during wedding consultations.

Also, I can now provide both natural light and studio lights during your session.

The new space is a dream come true, and I can't wait to share it with you!

Why I Love Photography

DVD Slideshows

Now you can order a DVD movie slideshow of your images for $50. These are set to music and make GREAT gifts for those grandparents who already have everything they need, or aunts and uncles living far away.

Watch a sample video here:

Angie and James

Here is a wedding from September that I just finished editing. It was BEAUTIFUL!!!

Austin and Lisa

This last weekend I shot a wedding for Austin and Lisa. It was a beautiful day. Here is a clip of highlights!

Showing at the Garden Gallery

I will have a piece for sale at a show hosted by The Garden Gallery! It sounds like it's going to be a wonderful event with lots of other artists, including jewelry, pottery and more. The show is this weekend, so head on over!

Anna and Brad

I just finished editing a wedding for a great couple, Anna and Brad. The day was absolutely gorgeous. We spent the earlier part of the day in the north downtown area, near Slowdown and Urban Outfitters. There were so many great photo ops there, I was on cloud nine!

Busy, busy BUSY!!!

Despite the downturned economy, I've managed to stay very busy this summer. Busy enough, in fact, to hire an assistant to help with editing. Now I can devote more time to taking images, the part I like more.

My daughter has started kindergarten, and the mother of a classmate I've gotten to know is also a photog. It's fun to meet with other photogs and toss ideas around. And admittedly, she is the one who re-inspired me to get my blog going again. :)

Anyway, here are a few shots of a cute baby girl I shot a couple of weeks ago.

These are some friends of mine. We did both a maternity shoot and a shoot of their little girl, who is just adorable. We ended up having dinner together, and between my kids and their little girl, it was a combination of shoot pics, eat, shoot pics, change diaper, shoot some more pics. But that's what's great about having my studio in my home. We can take the time we need to take to get the great shots.

I just finished editing pics of two little girls. They were so sweet. Their mom was great with them, too. It's always nice to see a happy little fam.


Today I'm heading out to shoot a wedding -- the first of the season! I'm so excited.


In the meantime, enjoy some pics of the little cutie-pies.

Busy, busy

It's not been for lack of shoots that I haven't posted. Things have been really busy the past few weeks. Here is a recent shoot of a cute, cute, cute little girl. I have a pic from her six month shoot on my homepage. She is now a year old. Kids grow so fast. Which is exactly why you should have their pictures taken. :)
