Tessa {Portrait/Headshots}

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

How gorgeous is this girl! Beautiful Tessa will be competing in a Pageant this summer and needed some simple headshots for her entry into the “Most Photogenic” competition. Yup…pretty sure she’s gonna win! Here are a few of my favorites! Good luck Tessa!

My Niece Aly – Three Year {Portraits}

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

So I may be a little bias but…isn’t she the cutest kid EVER! I love her to pieces and couldn’t wait to do her pictures. That didn’t stop us from procrastinating three months though! (hey, I get busy!) So we finally get got together one Saturday morning to snap some pics! Since we did outside last year we thought we’d do studio…yup she pretty much had NO interest in getting her pictures taken! Luckily she had pretty shoes to play with! What a little princess!

Henrich 2010 {Family}

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

I love the Henrich family! Not only are they great friends of mine but also such a beautiful family to photograph!  I’ve been photographing them for several occasions over the last 3 years now and have such a great time every time! I think this is my favorite shoot to date…(but I do have head shots of Tessa waiting to be edited!) Enjoy!

Best Friends – Maggie & Dakota [Portraits]

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

Well we braved the wind for this one, and I’m so glad we did! I just love the movement in the hair! Maggie and Dakota had these pictures done to celebrate their 8th grade graduation! Adorable right! It was such a fun shoot; thank you to Emily for assisting!

Kelli Golden {Senior}

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Ok so not only is Kelli beautiful but she is graduating with her high school diploma as scheduled AND her College Associates Degree at the same time! Oh and did I forget to mention she is also in flight school. This girl does it all! I have had the pleasure of getting to know Kelli through Irish Dance at the Celtic Dance Academy and she has even assisted me on a couple shoots! Thanks Kelli! I had so much fun photographing her senior pics; what a neat experience to photograph the plane she flies! So cool!

The Coles {Family}

Monday, April 26th, 2010

I had so much fun on this family shoot! Not only are they gorgeous but they are also hilarious! I was laughing the whole time; I hope they had as much fun as I did! As you can see I simply could not even come close to narrowing down to my top ten on this one so enjoy!

Joy Multiplied!

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

It was a little crazy, there was a lot of improvising and I couldn’t have been more excited and happy to capture it all!

Zoe – 1st Year Portraits {Kids}

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

I had the great pleasure of photographing this adorable little princess! She was so sweet and bubbly and LOVED the camera as you can see! She did exceptionally well the whole shoot, until the very end when she had no reservation in telling us she was done! Regular clothes and a pink puppy later she was all snuggly and ready for a nap! I usually have a one week turn around but these were just so cute I couldn’t get them ready fast enough! Enjoy!

The Pullins {Family}

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

The Pullins were the lucky winners of my location giveaway a few months back! During that time I was told about this AMAZING location: Goldfield Ghost Town in Goldfield, Arizona! It may have taken us an hour to get there but it was well worth it as you can see! I hope to photograph there again soon…any takers!!
