can i just say i love her eyes! they have SO much expression, see for yourself...

as promised, a FEW more of tess. tess is a model and contacted me to update her portfolio with some modern shots. we had such a blast and decided we'd be working together in the future. she is up for anything creative, artsy, modern so of course i'm ecstatic! that's hard to find! we share similar ideas on aesthetics and photography style so it's a match made in heaven. sigh.

while talking about funky ideas for shoots, she told me that her mom has an entire attic filled with old clothes, furniture and accessories of her grandmas, which she said had impeccable style in her time. EXCUSE ME?! i can't think of anything more fun than to search through an attic of vintage anything! against my husband's wishes, i am a treasure hunter and it can't be helped. so i of course offered my assistance to de-clutter :) her attic.
hopefully we'll be able to find some fun props for pictures, so stay tuned!

speaking of treasures, i found some cool stuff at some thrift stores this week and can't wait to share!

enjoy!

good enough to eat!

meet tess. much more of her to come.

my boo.

love bugs

enjoy these little ones. lulu wanted in on some of the action so we did a little photo shoot while her mom was feeding the baby. and boy am i glad i did! those eyes are crazy. they're totally her natural color! these little girls made me want one of my own!

priceless

this is my husband's cousin. we went to a family reunion over the weekend and i couldn't stop staring at her! her gaze is striking. to me, she is the epitome of an all-american girl.

melissa helmers

melissa is a talented actress with principle dancer in all high school musicals on her resume. she is so much fun and was willing to try anything during the shoot. we had a great time. i can't wait to work with her again soon!

a few more...

a little teaser...

just look at this beauty. i love everything about this photo. i love the 60's feel, the expression on her face, everything! i'll be posting a few later, just had to get this one up, i was too excited!
although, it lost a lot of color when i put it online. that doesn't make me very happy.

i finally got my wedding up! wahoo!

i have been terrible at blogging lately! i will do my best to catch up. i've been so busy and so my blogging suffers. ugh. i have several shoots i'm really excited about that i need to post!
we'll start with this one. this is my first wedding i've done, by myself! i covered the ceremony (and i couldn't have been happier about the quaint little church they were married in), the dinner and the reception. it was a long day, but i had a lot of fun.
i could tell this couple was so ready to be married. they were adorable!

i guess i'm on a black and white kick!
