Self Portraits

While we were evacuated for the hurricane, we tried to kill some time. I had wanted some pictures of myself taken and I have NEVER taken the time to do them...so I thought I'd let my sister work on her skills, and then see what my husband Adam could accomplish as well. They both did really well! I photoshopped the crap out of myself b/c now I realize that I HATE being on that side of the camera--I am NOT photogenic at ALL! But at least I have some images of my lovely new hair color!! HA! Note: It was SUPER windy.....

Dobie High School Cheer Squad

About a month ago, I had an awesome time with the Dobie High School cheer squad! They wanted some different kind of roster pictures, and my friend Leslie is the sponsor, so we all hooked up and got some really awesome shots! We didn't have alot of time, and we were pretty rushed in getting all the girls in, but I think we did great considering we were all tired and hungry! Next time, we'll schedule each girl individually for 30 minutes, but we lived and learned through our first time out!

I want to thank the girls for being patient with me, as well. I've had a really rough month and a half, and I am sorry the poster and this post took me so long to get to you guys! Remember to give Miss Leslie your photo number of the image that you liked the BEST for your 5x7 and wallets!


Also, send me a myspace or facebook request and I'll send you some images from your session to post on your pages!

Ashley

My cousin is a finalist in a bridal contest and needed some photos to submit, so we did a quick mini-session (about 45 minutes) and this is what we came up with! I love them!! I don't know how she is going to pick just one!! Jackson ended up being my assistant, and I must say, other than hitting my model with the reflector, he might just have a career in the photo industry someday....maybe.

Wallace Family

I love families. I love them at weddings, I love them in their home, I love my own very much. I love watching families interact. I will never admit to being great at family photography, but I love doing it. I notice everything--the way that the daughter takes on her father's laugh and grin and personality....the way that the grandson has the same cheesy, cute, sweet toothy grin that grandpa has...and is just as onery! Every family is different, and cute, and fun....and I love capturing that moment, that memory "Remember when that lady came to our house...." "I loved the boys in these shirts...." "Wow, look at how different they look in just 2 year's time..."

THAT'S what I love. Again, I will never say that I am good at photographing families. I think I am just plain good WITH families. I have fun with them...it's about the experience as much as it is about the photos.

With ALL of that said, meet the wonderful Wallace family. They were one of my first families. Back when I really didn't know how to handle 3 rambunctious boys and get their attention! But I learned--FAST! Carson is 10, Ian is 8, and little Mitchell is 5. It's been over 3 years since I shot this family...and they have grown! Even the DOG!!

I got to hang out with the boys (all of which were polite and calm and listened VERY well--I think Mom threatened them to not get sweaty, so they were calm! HA!) before their grandparents arrived. They had just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and Mrs. Amy wanted a portrait of the two of them to commemorate. I love that, too.....something for generations later to see and wonder and admire.

Nicole

I had the best time with Nicole and Nathan! They are so excited to meet little Miss Pierson Grace--don't you just LOVE that name?! Funny thing is that Adam and I have considered Pierce and Pierson if we have another boy! Jackson and Pierce...I love it!

And let me tell you about Miss Pierson's room---GOR-GEOUS! Her mommy and friends made this room SUPER cute and trendy and ALL black and white and pink...I loved it!! Awesome!

And the cute shirts! She had an entire table full of these tanks with cute sayings on them! They made for some fun, rock star pics! Thank Nicole! See you at the birth!
