All Growed Up

Took my little brother's senior photos today. The weirdest part was realizing that we actually look alike.

Senior Photos: Mary Beth

I'm still in the editing process...but I had to share a few favorites! Mary Beth is an aspiring photographer, so we had a really good time scouting downtown for locations.

Senior Photos: Grace

Grace is my roommate's little sister, and she is gorgeous. A thanks to Tim Rice for reflecting and originally suggesting the fair as a place to photograph me.

Geometrically Speaking: Zach's Senior Photos

This was my first portrait job of a male, and it also happened to be my first job in the snow. It was one of the most challenging portrait shoots I've done because of the conditions, so I think I am going to close shop for the winter.

I noticed that my choice in backgrounds tended to involve lots of lines and quadrilaterals. I think on some level I was trying to make the photos a little more masculine...I can't exactly just stick a boy next to some graffiti that says "you are beautiful" like I've done with female clients.

So, basically...I hope he likes the results!

Mariah Is a Senior...

...I remember when she was a wee lass with an affinity for cookie monster. She's all grown up now !

There's a First Time for Everything.

This past week was a little nervewracking for me. I was hired to do my first baby pictures and senior portraits. I've had offers before, but this was the first time I felt confident enough to accept. It was a different experience having people pose, but I found that my natural shots were the best (of course).
Erin West, my friend Andy's little sister. But she's not so little anymore!

Meghan Ledden and her little girl, Ayden Rochelle. This child was pretty much perfect. She hardly fussed, and loved to give hugs and kisses.



I went on a frantic tutu hunt because I had a vision that I could not get out of my head. Thank goodness that my friend Beth's aunt had one.
