Class of 2011- Now is the time for Senior Portraits!!
Aug/100
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
Aug/100
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…
Jessica rocked it here! She is gorgeous!

Little Camille Joie :: Infant Portraits
Aug/101
My husband and I have a small group meet at our house for Bible study every Sunday night. And it’s been through this group that we’ve made lasting friendships, much like family. So, we were so excited when our good friends, Jake and Bethany, texted us in the middle of the night letting us know that their new baby daughter, Camille Joie (french for “joy”), was now a part of their gorgeous family! I loved finally getting to meet this sweet little girl after months of only being able to feel her kicks. And I loved finally learning of her beautiful name!! Mom and Dad kept that a secret from everyone until the day of delivery and it was about to kill me!! (It didn’t keep me from trying to get it out of Bethany though!) So, of course, now that she’s here, we needed portraits! We were able to get a couple portraits of her (just shy of two years old) big brother while she was nursing, preparing for her session. It proved to be a little tricky trying to get a two year old and a three week old cooperating at the same time but I think we were able to get some great shots! Like I said, this is such a gorgeous family- I mean, look at them. Their eyes! They’re amazing! So, really, how could you go wrong??
Jake and Bethany- Congratulations to you guys! Thank you for letting me capture the beauty of your sweet new princess and your gorgeous family! You are such a blessing to all of us. Thank you for your friendship!!
I LOVE this one! Camille has come into a family that just simply adores her!
This was definitely one of my favorites- Jake is such a wonderful dad!
I also loved these next two of beautiful Bethany and her new baby girl! I’m usually prefer color portraits, but these two were so stunning in black and white.
This one was just hilarious! Camille was not having the most fun at the time and she seemed to want to tell me just how she felt!
The beautiful sleeping princess
Sweet kisses from Brother
This was as she was trying her hardest to stay awake for the shoot… She’s even beautiful when she cries!
And, she’s out!
Sweet dreams little one!
