Alec, Jamie, Mitch, Kara, Julia & Sarah

I *love* these shots!

Alec was a total natural in front of the camera. Getting these rockin' shots was a breeze. Thanks Alec!

Jamie is a racer gal.... so naturally.... the checkered flag. :) Good times!

Julia cracks me up....

She loves the print pattern known as "Houndstooth." I learned all kinds of things!

Kara is a musical beauty.... and a nature gal. She recently accompanied another friend to their shoot, so we got to hang out again! :)

Mitch is practically a neighbor! So fun to get to know him. What a good sport! :)

Sarah and I went on a safari for new locales..... She was a supportive voice when I dropped one of my favorite lenses! :( Ye-ouch!

*GORGEOUS!*

Jessica, Nick, Sammy, Marilyn, Brianna & Courtney

I'm on a marathon! (An editing marathon.) With the LPS yearbook deadline looming, I've cranked up the power and am running full throttle to make sure that the deadline is a breeze. Here's what I wrapped up today!

Nick braved the camera for senior photos a couple weeks ago. I love the look on his face in this photo.

Jessica was a natural!

This lil' wipper-snapper is taking the world by the tail!

Brianna knew exactly what she wanted. You go girl!

Marilyn was up for anything.... we had a blast!

Sammy and I laughed a lot on her shoot.... what a gal!

Great work all of you!

Mayday, Mayday----- Email is Down!

And Merki isn't helping.....

For those of you trying to reach me via email... for some reason, it is down at the moment. Completely. Not even the webmail is working. Rest assured we're on the case and I will get back to everyone asap!

Have a happy weekend!

1 Already!

My cousin Patrick and his *gorgeous* wife Stephanie have a lovely little lady named Alaina who recently turned 1. I had the honor of photographing her when she first came into the world, and then again at 6 months. I can't believe it's already been a year!

Such a lil' cutie!

The cute couple responsible for Alaina.....

I *love* this shot.

Beautiful like mom!

Happy b-day Alaina! :) I look forward to spending more time with you guys soon! :)

Katharine, Beth, Kendall & Ashley

It's that time of year where seniors are taking over the blog. :) Rather than 150 separate posts.... here is a condensed version of what I worked on today when I wasn't shooting..... Enjoy!

This is Beth.... she rocks the camera well!

*LUV* the boots!

Katharine has such a fabulous girl-next-door beauty. Check out the drama of the sky in this shot!

Kendall brought some funk to her shoot....

Ashley is simple elegance. Check out those blue eyes!

Senior: Tori

Tori and I had so much fun on her shoot.... and how could we not..... I mean.... look at the great stuff we got! :)

My love affair with red doors continues....

This is just plain gorgeous. 'Nuff said.

A girl, her jeep, and a pair of boots. Recipe for awesomeness!

Thanks for everything Tori! ;)

Senior: Michaela

A girl after my own heart! One of my good ol' prom dresses was a similar shade of bright green.... too fun! Thanks Michaela!

Senior: Anna

Anna's images have a beauty that is truly her own. Enjoy them Anna!

Senior: Nicole

Nicole was SUCH a great sport. She put up with me and all my silly ideas. Thank you Nicole. Your photos are hard core rockin'! :)

Here she is sporting my hat from Emmy & Ivy. Adorable!

Since she's a swimmer, I thought it'd be fun to do some underwater shots. But my favorite 'water' shot was this one... above the surface. Ha!

Underwater photography is a whole other beast. I'm excited to play with it more when Emir and I are in Miami for a wedding next month. Yay!

Joshin' Jester!

Nick is an all around entertaining young lad.... he plays guitar, he juggles, he plays the drums, writes songs... AND... does stand-up comedy. What a treat!

I love this shot! It was taken at roughly 10am outside in broad daylight. Awh yeah! :)

An old phonograph! How cool is THAT?!

This looks like it should be an album cover... or iconic poster. Way to rock it Nick!

How could I resist?

You were a blast to work with Nick! Play on..... :)
