Photo of the Week - Whoa, momma!

This week's photo of the week is dedicated to my sweet mom, who is always willing to serve as a guinea pig for practicing my hand at portraits.  She's a natural!  We had dinner downtown a few nights ago and she let me snap a few shots.  Thanks to my model, they were all beautiful but the one below is my favorite - sassy!

Reese's Pieces!

My sweet friend, Kelli, is a major supporter of my efforts in photography and I'm couldn't be happier because I love doing shoots of her little cutie pie Reese!  Below are a few shots from his 3-month and 6-month sessions - you may be able to tell, but he is known for his intense stares. :)  He seems to get cuter every day and I can't wait to see how much he has grown at 9-months!

(and Buster, too!)

UT Photography Ceremony

Here are some photos from UT's Photography Certificate Ceremony on June 7, 2011.  Glad to add another piece of paper to my collection and excited for more classes to come!

SPRING!!!

Wow, it's hard to believe I have yet to make a post for 2011! After the Christmas card shoot, it got pretty chilly and stayed that way. Kyle and I made a brave attempt at some night shots in late fall but it was so frigid I could hardly stay still enough to snap the shot. Brr!

Finally Spring has sprung and I will have a lot to post soon, starting with Reese's 3 & 6 month sessions (sneak peek above)! I am also working on a portfolio for my photography certificate ceremony so I will have some new series to post for that as well. Exciting stuff to come!

Slack Family Christmas Card Shoot

Tyler, Jon Tyler, & Julia

Julia called me a couple of weeks ago asking if I could take some family photos for their Christmas cards this year. Since I hadn't seen little Jon Tyler since he was a teeny new baby, I was happy to oblige! The weather turned out to be amazing and Tyler's parents' beautiful home provided the perfect backdrop. Jon T was such a happy and cooperative little model! It was going so well we even tried (the operative word being TRIED) to get the family dogs in on the action! Wet morning grass + 2 dogs + 1 toddler....so much for that idea! :) The Slacks are such a precious family and it turned out to be an awesome shoot. Below are some of my favorites from the day...

Puppy love!!! :)
