Days Gone By

One of my friend’s son’s restored this old Chevy after finding it in a ditch. I saw it and knew I had to have it! The color and style of this truck have made it a favorite prop at my studio. It does run, but I rarely crank it up. It is parked in my studio garden and I use it when the situation is right. It works great for kids, families and high school seniors. Every year I offer a special day(s) for portraits with the truck called “Days Gone By.”. This year’s dates are June 18th & 26th for no session fees and special pricing on portraits. oldtruckpinwheel

Here Comes the Bride

Though I stopped doing weddings several years ago, I still love to do engagement and bridal sessions. I did this session at the studio and we got so many amazing images of this gorgeous bride that she bought a book including her favorites. I love to shoot many types of images so the bride (or couple)_ have lots of choices including casual, relaxed unposed shots as well as beautiful traditional portrait images. Below are a few of her favs…….. bride1

Perfect Background

Color harmony is so important to the outcome of a portrait. I saw the red dress and knew just what to do so that this would be a special portrait! One thing I try to do so that I have great choices is keep a wide array of backgrounds, furniture, etc., in the studio so that I can blend clothing appropriately. As far as outdoor sessions, my eyes are always searching and discovering new places that would be great backgrounds so I am ready when the opportunity arises. Perfect Background

The “In Between” Years

We see lots of babies, children under the age of 10, and high school seniors. It’s more rare but cool to photograph preteens and teenagers because their personalities are developing and they are discovering so many things about themselves. Kids this age can be challenging, but they are so interesting too. I have seen self esteem soar after a photo session with a kid in the “in between” years! In Between

Family Portraits

A very important part of the creation of a great family photo is the clothing choices that are made by the clients. Below are some of my favorite examples of good combinations of clothing/colors/textures/styles that helped in making these recent photo sessions all successful!
