Great Christmas idea!

Sara called one night and asked if I could do a set of just black-and-white portraits with a plain dark or light backdrop as a Christmas present to her parents. She wanted to bring her brother Nick along too, and these were a few of the results.

My First Trash-the-Dress Session!

admin — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 19:57:54 +0000

My college friend Sara was married in 2003 and now has two beautiful girls. She saw my post a couple months ago offering a free TTD session to any bride who was willing to get her wedding dress dirty. Sara immediately jumped at the chance. Man, was she a trooper! She told me as we were driving to the location that she was ready and willing to do anything for a great picture. We did lots of “dry” shots first before she waded out into a creek. Here’s the sample shot (again, I will post more once I get through some post-processing):

This session was the morning after Roganne and Matt’s wedding, so I was a little tired and achy, but it was SO fun and totally worth it. I’m glad it worked out! And I hope more brides (both present and former) will be jealous and want to have a TTD session as well.

p.s. ladies… you don’t HAVE to get your dress completely dirty or even wet. As long as you don’t mind a little dirt, we can work something out!

Danyella Take #2

Danyella came over last night for her 2nd photo shoot. She was in a little better mood this time. And I have to thank Aaron for a couple of these shots because he was sitting around the corner from the studio setup and she’s leaning so she can peak around the corner to see who’s there. The result is a perfect shot of pure curiosity and innocence!

First Christian Church hosted a Girls Night Out on March 7. The planning committee asked me to be the photographer. I supplied my camera, the lights and the black backdrop and they provided the go-kart and props. It was a fun time and here are 3 of my favorite shots:

Baby Danyella

Danyella’s mom wanted a portfolio put together of her 7-month-old beautiful daughter.
These were a couple of my favorites, but I think mom chose some different shots!

Precious baby boy

This weekend I tried my first baby photo shoot. I think I almost like the photos better where he’s not looking at me, but at his mother. I think I get a more genuine look that way. What do you think?
