Adorable-ness

Hey! Lots more to share from this shoot (and several more...it's been a CRAZY week), but I want to go home while the sun is still out for once ;-) For now, enjoy these ridiculously adorable kids! Be back sooooon!






Catherine+Eli/engaged!

I am soooooo excited to be shooting again!! And soooo excited to have such fabulously fun clients like Catherine & Eli. We shot their engagement pics this afternoon, and despite their nervousness and insistence that they both 'take reallly, reallllly bad photos,' I think these turned out pretty freakin awesome! Thanks for being so fun today guys!




















Kel+Sam pics

I've been meaning to blog these forever and am finally getting around to it! When Kristy stayed with us (in NOVEMBER!!) she shot some images of Sam and I around our place since we hadn't had any photos done since our wedding 4 1/2 years ago (bad photographer!). She did a fabulous job and here are some of my favorites!





Could our dogs be any cooler?? Seriously! (Kodie's the little one and Jackson's the giant beast :-)



More of Jordan

Other photographers will definitely agree, I'm sure, (and artists in general), that keeping a steady flow of creativity is difficult, nearing impossible sometimes. I especially get really bored of my work easily, so clients/friends/Kris & Jamie/anyone around really know it when I find something that totally excites and reinspires me (I'm pretty giddy about it :-). Today was absolutely one of those days! I feel like all winter I've been in creative hibernation and this whole week of shoots has really allowed me to stretch my legs!

On another note, this shoot was also really special to me because it was my fabulous mini-me-niece, Jordan's Sweet 16 shoot. I absolutely love my nieces and nephews (thanks to my hubby since I'm an only child :-) and have so much fun photographing them. Today Katie came out and styled Jordan and I'm sooooo proud of what a beautiful and smart woman she is becoming - love ya Jorjicken :-)

One more technical note, then we'll get to the images. As mentioned, I love doing different looks and the last shoot I posted made use of texture overlays. This time after thinking about what Bruce just wrote, I thought I'd challenge myself to make the photos really interested and layered and dimensional without too many extra photoshop toys. All the photos in this post were created in camera. The only out of camera manipulation was done with Adobe Camera Raw (colors) and a bit of sharpening in Photoshop (and obviously adding my logo ;-) Whatcha think guys? Thanks for all the recent comments - keep 'em coming - they totally make my day!!!

















wow. cool.

Just a quick preview of my superhot niece Jordan from today's shoot - dude. So fun. More to come.....!!
