Snow & Family.

My amazing big brother has graduated from College!! ahh *does happy dance* plus we got 18 inches of snow! :D I think that's a great reason to take family pictures, don't you?

Photobucket

18 inches of snow is quite hard to get through, and only having a tripod makes for very staged pictures, they are still cute!
Photobucket

Hot mamma. ;)

Did I mention that it was really cold? Yeah, it was freezing. :-P
Photobucket

Just the girls. :D
Photobucket

I love my brother. Mucho.

I'm off to Michigan to spend time with more of my family. Pictures to come!
Stay Beautiful,

Infant & Kid shoot.

I had such a wonderful time shooting the Barr children on Saturday. They were such good models and so adorable! I wanted to post all of the pictures because of their cuteness, but here are some of my favorites. :)


Photobucket

Anne, their oldest girl, is such a sweetheart. At the end of the shoot she wrote me a thank you note (with help from mom) saying, "Anne, thanks for coming and taking my picture, I like your name." SO cute! It was proudly placed on my refrigerator. :D
Photobucket

Jack had one of the cutest outfits to date. Such a little man!

Adorable? Definitely.

Baby it's cold outside.

It's that time of year again! All the leaves start falling, and suddenly everything becomes still. I really love this time of year. It just seems magical at the first snowfall, and I seriously am obsessed with scarves. They are just a perfect winter accessory! :D

Since no blog post is complete without pictures, here are a few winter pictures that are some of my all time favorites.

It's our thing.

Back when I was six, my family went on a vacation to the Grand Canyon. My Dad had just gotten his first DSLR camera, the Nikon D1 . He was SO excited to go on that vacation with his new camera. He had been taking pictures the whole time, and I REALLY wanted to take a picture with his new, fancy camera. Everytime we went on vacations my parents would buy my siblings and I disposable, film cameras. When the picture below was taken, it was the beginning of the trip and my Dad knew I would waste all of my film before we really even did anything. So, he allowed me to use his camera. He put it around my neck and I immediatly felt SO cool. It was heavy and I could barely hold it, but it was such a nice feeling. He told me how to do it and then... this is what I got.
(This picture is now framed and hanging in my dad's office.)
Photobucket

Ever since this picture, I've learned how much I loved taking photos, and my family learned that I did actually have some type of photography eye!


Photobucket
Before I purchased my camera, I used Dad's quite often, and we would always go over the pictures together to see how I did.

Photobucket

Besides getting my love of photography from my Dad, I have learned so much from him. I love coming to him with questions about my camera and how to achive the affect I am looking for. He always seems to know the answer and takes time to sit down & explain everything to me.

Photobucket

Since I started my business in June, Dad has come to my shoots and been my second shooter. I have grown to LOVE that! It is so nice to have him there. I know that if I have a quick question and need some input, he is there. For the most part, I think he sits back and watches me "do my thing" and I hope it makes him proud.

(Sorry for the bad quality)
Photobucket

I love working with you, Dad. I especially love how, no matter what, this will always be our thing; the one thing we can always do together.

Senior- Jeanette

There are no words. No words to describe how amazing Jeanette and her pictures are.. Take like "AH-mazing, holler, chicken dinner, stunning, gorgeous" and a million other words.. and then MAYBE you can understand this shoot. Our location was Harpers Ferry, W. VA.

Photobucket

Jeanette was the first girl who came up to me, my first day out our new church, and we have been friends ever since!
Photobucket

She's my kind of girl. :D
Photobucket

Our lighting was once again the AH-mazing fall light.
Photobucket

Did I mention that I want her hair? 'Cause I do.. I really really do. ^_^
Photobucket

haha. So let's just say I had to be in a less then modest position to capture the effect I wanted. Got my arm a little dirty, but it turned out the way I liked.
Photobucket

"You want me to SIT in the STREET? In a SKIRT?"
Photobucket
