Springboard Gals: Take 2!

Robin Gifford from Springboard called me to set up a shoot for her girls. We spent one (long- but fun!) day shooting. I haven't even had time to go through all the shots yet... but these were some that caught my eye.

Special thanks to the guys at Midwest Steel Co. for helping us out with this one... (we really had to twist their arms.... ha! Yeah right!)

Can I just say that I LOVE this! Getting a background to go 'white' like this is an artform all of its own. (Not to mention rawkin' the subtle reflection, the wind, and seamless integration between the floor board and back drop. Phew!) I must say... this image makes me proud. :) (disclaimer: of course it's helpful to have such a gorgeous subject.... if this was a photo of a greasy tire wrench, I don't know if it would have the same effect... ha ha ha!)

Is it just me, or does this shot remind you of the ol' Estee Lauder print ads for "Pleasures" perfume?

I love shooting with parking meters.... they're so.... happy! (Except for when ignoring them scores you tickets....)

Miranda could turn it on for the camera like you wouldn't believe. Bring it!

I love the hard-rocker chic look....

This gorgeous gal is a tower of legs. Amazing!

Of course, it was great to see Bryttie again too! Best wishes next year chica!

Lunch at 11th & O

While shooting for Springboard on Monday, we happened upon Rick and his hot dog stand at the corner of 11th & O Streets. He totally hooked us up with a dog (and all the works!) and even posed for a few shots!

He's there M-F this summer.... be sure to stop by, have lunch, and tell him we said 'hello!'

Emmy & Ivy : Radtastic

You may remember the post a short while ago about my super cute hat that I picked up from Emmy & Ivy. These two ladies are the creative geniuses behind all the super cute things in the shop. Not only are they gorgeous... they're smart, talented... and a lot of fun!

Meet Jackie Ostrowicki....

and Sarah McCurley

Local business owners who are rawking it big time. :)

Can't wait to see what you two come up with next!

Mother & Daughter

Mary and her daughter are buds. They like to hang out downtown sipping coffee and catching up. Recently, Mary asked me for a 'just because' shoot, and I was happy to oblige! I love what we captured! Spending time with 'mom' is always the best!

Kudos to you ladies! Enjoy your photos!

Sisters

This past summer I shot Kinsley's senior photos. She came back for more... and this time, she brought her two sisters along for a Mother's Day surprise!

I think the girls were more surprised than anyone when the weather went crazy... wind and rain galore! It couldn't stop us from getting some ice cream though. :)

Cute shoes must run in their family!

Finally headed back to shelter...

You gals are troopers! That was loads o' fun... I hope it's a big hit with mom!

More Mrs. Nebraska Gals!

Amy is a red haired beauty competing in the June Mrs. Nebraska pageant. A joy to work with, I wish her all the best! :)

Sydney

Sydney recently came to me for some pics for an upcoming competition. These are some of my faves. Especially the first one! Love it! (ps: she's a dancer.... obviously!)

Go Sydney!

Actively Involved

Photoshoots tend to attract some attention... (maybe it's just all the pretty people I get to take pictures of???) While on a recent shoot, this guy insisted on being included. :) Here's your glory shot dude!

Soul Sista'

Back when my name was Khara Lintel (before Emir and I got married) people often thought my name was Kharalyn Tel.... ha! (especially over the phone....) Imagine my surprise when I got a phone call from a real Karalyn, who even spells is similarly!

Karalyn stopped by last week for headshots for the upcoming Mrs. Nebraska competition. We had SUCH a blast!

That was too fun Karalyn! Thanks and good luck!

Wall-o-Famer

Sarah emailed me this week to see if I would take a head shot for her. She won a spot of honor on her high school wall of fame (she's a speech team super star!)... and wanted something more than the standard photo (that always gets my photo radar cranked up.....). I said, "Bring it!" And here she is... doing just that!

(I LOVE her red shoes!)

Sassy pants....

I imagine this is the one that may make the wall-o-fame in her school... but I couldn't resist having a bit more fun....

What!? Was it something I said? :)

Thanks Sarah... that was so fun! I'm looking foward to shooting your senior pictures in the fall!
