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

My Family

My own family has a tradition each year of doing new family portraits. We try to do something a little different each time. This year we decided that we would do the photos outside across the street from our house and we wanted to wear neutrals. We coordinated the clothing and got a friend to assist. We loved the results so much that we now have one of these images in our family room in a 40 x 60 – it is awesome! Our daughter, Alona, is 22 and she works in downtown OKC for the Oklahoma City Redhawks. She just graduated from OU last spring and has her first job. Our son Brock is a 16 year old busy junior at McKinney Boyd High School. Nike is our little Peek a Poo dog. He is 3 years old and we all love him like crazy. 0S9A0006mast

Kenny & His Harley

This is the results of a cool photo shoot I did on May 22nd in a wheat field at sunset in McKinney, TX.  The subject asked me to do his photos with his Harley so I tried some new lighting techniques that I kne w would be perfect for this type of portraiture.  Since he is an “Okie” I decided that this location was the perfect background for the pics.  Which is your favorite?

In March we are offering 1/2 price sessions for babies 2 years old and younger. In addition, we have a “Baby’s First Year” program that ensures a wonderful array of sessions and images that will document the first year of a baby’s life in a way you will treasure forever! Call for more details about our new and improved program for a baby’s first year.

This beautiful newborn image was taken of baby Clara Ann at age 10 days. There were so many touching photos of this beautiful baby! Clara Ann

Family of 4

One of my favorite sessions this year was of this beautiful family of 4!  Erin and Jeff’s two four legged companions are so sweet and unbelievably smart, lovable and photogenic!  I shot this session on a beautiful early December morning on location in Allen.  The lighting was amazing!!  Most of the images were taken “documentary” style with a few posed traditionally.  The blending of the two styles allowed for great variety and some amazing shots!  Barkley, the gray puppy, is a new addition to the family and it’s easy to see how loved he feels.  The expression in his eyes says, “i LOVE my new family.”  I’m glad that Snickers has a new brother to share the fun they all have together!

A MERRY AND BRIGHT CHRISTMAS

I had an idea for a Christmas card photo shoot and wanted to use all bright, non- traditional colors and mix in fun and funky posing. Carson, 15, was the model and her VERY creative Mom, Carlene, helped me put together some props and clothing to complete the look. The results are totally AMAZING! You should see the Christmas card – all I can say is WOW! We had a blast too……. hope all you have a VERY MERRY AND BRIGHT CHRISTMAS…"VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS"

Wow – it has been a busy season!!! We are winding down now looking forward to Christmas. The last day to be able to get anything in time for Christmas is TUESDAY, DEC. 18th! Our last day open will be DECEMBER 22nd. So many beautiful images this year – can’t wait to share them and I will when I get time I love this one……
