The days are cooler (who’d ever think we’d see the 70’s in August!!), we are now two weeks into school and I’m finally getting into the routine of it all.  For some of you this school year means your final year of high school!!  (Are any of you doing the victory dance yet??)  Many schools have deadlines in the next couple months if you want to include a senior portrait for the yearbook.  Here’s the information I gathered from some of our local high schools…

So email me and we can schedule your Senior Portrait session in time for these fast approaching deadlines.  The portrait package includes a two hour session with a digital images CD and printing release all for $135 (includes state sales tax).  This means time for outfit changes and even multiple locations.  Do you prefer the great outdoors or want something more urban feeling? I love to tailor these sessions personally for each senior- to let your personality show through.   So, give me your ideas, bring along your purses and shoes or computer gadgets, invite me to your home where we can get a portrait with your restored classic car or your family dog.  I want to capture who you are.  I look forward to hearing from you!

PS- Here’s some of last year’s fabulous seniors; maybe you recognize some…

Summertime Ceremony:: Brandon + Jessica

Earlier this month I was privileged to be a second photographer at Brandon and Jessica’s wedding with my friend, Erin Claassen.  It was fun!  Being a second shooter allows for a different opportunity, different angles, and a whole lot less stress!  :)   Brandon and Jessica had a fabulous ceremony and reception at their family’s Cottonwood home.  Though it was a warm summer afternoon, the day went beautifully! I especially loved getting to sneak back into the empty field during the reception and capture some beautiful portraits of the bride and groom!!

Brandon and Jessica- congratulations to you both!  May you both be greatly blessed in your marriage.

I love this shot of the two of them- you know that not only are they in love but they are best friends as well.

What started out all sweet…

…got a little messy!!  :)

Cleaning up from the fun!!

After the bride and groom cleaned up from the food fight, we slipped away from the party for a bit to capture some stunning portraits…

Baby Jake:: Child Portraits

Little Jake and his mommy, Jamee,  came over for his 8 month portrait session a couple weeks ago.  You see, Jake’s daddy, Luke, is an officer in the Marines and has been gone for the last 3 and a half months serving our country (and will not be back for another 4 months at least).  He has not had the joy of firsthand seeing his baby become a little boy.  So, when Jamee mentioned that she wanted some portraits to send to her husband overseas, I was excited to do it!  Jake is such an adorable little guy with the most amazing blue eyes!  (I’m always a sucker for those blue eyes!)  And I just LOVE his sweet cheeks!  I also wanted to say just how amazing Jamee is!  She is doing such a beautiful job of raising and caring for her little guy while Dad is away; she even has a photograph of Luke that Jake kisses and talks to everyday so that he can remember Daddy.  Her strength and beauty through this all is an encouragement to me!

Reading time with Mom and his favorite book, “If You Give a Moose a Muffin”

Jake loves his daddy!

What a great smile!!

He LOVES playing with his mama’s phone!

These two might just be my favorites… you can just feel the love between mom and son!
