Camila



Wonderful, sweet Camila. I had such a great time photographing her because she was so curious and playful. I had to get creative to keep her entertained. We found bugs, we spun until we got dizzy, and I think I even rolled in the grass at one point. I love all her different expressions. They just bring a smile to my face. She was not interested in taking photographs that day, and did not really pay attention to the camera. She was just being herself. I loved that about her session because that is what made her portraits fun and unique... I was just there to capture her life that day.

Christina & Anthony




Beautiful baby twins, Christina and Anthony. They are three weeks old in these portraits. They slept straight through this session and did not make a peep, even though we had to carefully put them in place. It is so sweet to see their differences. One is bigger and lighter, and the other is smaller and darker. But they are so comfortable lying next to each other, like they will always be by each other's side. I absolutely love taking baby photos. There is a certain calmness that innocence that soothes me, and I enjoy being around them. I know that babies aren't always like this, but that is why it is nice to capture these moments. So that we can remember how delicate and special they are.

Bridal Session




A wonderful bridal session. These images were taken in such a beautiful location and Kristy was simply glowing. I love the romantic effect in these portraits, and the beauty that was captured. Kristy was like a celebrity that day, she had an audience everywhere we went. Her dress was stunning and the colors were perfect. I lined the lines in her dress and face against the background to create movement within her portraits. They have a certain "fairy-tale" feel to them. I really loved this session. She was a great model and absolutely a joy to photograph. I probably could have photographed her all day (but she had to go back to work). ; )

Miss Pat



This session was fun and I really learned a lot. I love all the accessories that Pat brought to the session, it made her photographs unique. She did a great job on selecting what to bring for the shoot. I did not realize how a hat or a pair of earrings could shape a person's face. Her images are stunning, as you can see. She was so natural in front of the camera. Later I learned that her father worked as a model. Well, now I know where she gets it from. Pat, you are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your smile.

Miss Mary



Mary, Mary! A beautiful girl posing for her senior portraits. This session was fun and energetic. She was relaxed, silly, and very easy to photograph. I love the way she expresses so many sides of herself; funny, serious, playful, and supermodel. I think that is the whole point of senior sessions, they get a chance to express who they are. I am happy with the photographs and look forward to doing others like this one! Go Seniors 2008...
