School Spirit!

Note to self as a photographer: Football Stadium = Yummy Light!

I knew while I was taking these that they would be some of my favorite images. I am thinking we will need to do something spectacular with them in the printing department!

This was our last stop during our session. We weren't quite sure if we were going to be able to get into the stadium because it was all locked up. However, there happened to be a softball game starting up. This meant that the gate was open so that they could get to the equipment to prep the softball field. Totally awesome for us because I really wanted to get in there and I wasn't thinking that it would be right to hop fences to get in.

Class of 2011...

This is Brandon. He is graduating from High School this year...Shauna do you have a tissue in case you start to tear up? Shauna is his Mom and we are super good friends. We have been talking about Brandon's senior pictures for over a year now! Well the day finally arrived last week and Brandon and I hit the town. We found some amazing places to shoot. Brandon was a good sport and laughed at all my silly jokes and didn't make fun of me too much when I talked to my camera. Thanks for hanging out with me Brandon and I am going to have to try the jalapeno corn dog sometime!

Congratulations Brandon! You have a very bright future ahead of you. These images are just the beginning and truly a sneak peak!

Just a rough draft...

In the near future I will be offing studio sessions. I am working on my studio set up and it is starting to come together nicely! Here is a rough draft of some studio images. This is my son fresh from a day at school. He still has his sticker from preschool on his arm and sharpie on his foot from some art that he did that day before. But when he saw me setting my new backdrops up he wanted to get in on the action...and I couldn't resist snapping a few!

I am quite please as to how they turned out. I am so excited to be able to offer this as an option very soon. The best part is that we can get super creative with the background options and props we use. The biggest bonus to having this as an option in Oregon is that I will be able to book sessions during the rainy months. By the way in case you were wondering Bodie informed me that "Mama, that wall isn't real!"
