Elisa & I got together today for her senior pictures.Her mom wanted something outside and very natural looking.Elisa was such a nice person to spend time with.Very easy to talk to and she has this serenity(don't laugh Elisa!) about her. She photographed beautiful!

I really like the train tracks for senior pictures. Don't ask me why.Maybe because they are getting ready to move on to the next phase of their lives? Could I get any cornier?Is that even a word?

While we were taking pictures Elisa schooled me on the whole Facebook operation.Thanks for all the info!

We tried to do some shots in the greenhouse at Pilcher Park but had a hard time.There were so many people there! I think there were a group of kids getting their community service hours,a few groups of middle schoolers and of course the guy on the lawn mower.Every single shot I did-there he was.I kept moving Elisa to new spots and there he'd be.It was comical.(He was probably thinking the same thing about us-sorry lawn mower man.)

Baby "R" Has Arrived!

We photographed Baby "R" last night. You might remember her Mom and Dad.We did Mom's maternity pictures a few weeks ago.It's so cool to do the maternity pictures one week and then getting to do these the next.Mom & Dad were so calm.(and trusting...letting us suspend her in the air like this.She actually was only a few inches off the ground with big pillows underneath and Dad right there.)

Babies are so perfectly formed.I love their little lips.

She was a perfect angel.

Thanks Anderson Family. It was a fun shoot.

Baby Love

Today I took some pictures of Baby E. My kids are teenagers and you sometimes forget how sweet and innocent babies are.His mom & I have been friends for a long time(since jr.high/highschool).It's so cool to see how happy Sally is with her beautiful,baby boy. Talk about glowing!

Have you ever seen a sweeter expression?

Pretty soon he'll be in this same position with a t.v. remote and a can of pop .

Beautiful family shots.

I am so honored to share this exciting time in your lives. Evan is a very lucky baby.There is so much love and kindness in this family.I can't wait to watch him grow up !

Fabulous at 40

Once in a while you have a session that goes so well and you know it at the time. This was one of those. I already posted some from this session but had to share a few more.

Hot Mama!

This is probably my favorite so far. Love the texture! This just goes to show you - there's nothing scarey about turning 40! Embrace it!

Here's our working girl.I love the lunch box. Kelly really uses it.

This shows the sweeter side of her.

Kelly turned 40 a few months ago and we decided to do some portraits of her at this age. Can't you feel the attitude in this one? 40's not going to get her down!

New Beginnings

Ron & Gina- you did an awesome job.I can't wait to see your beautiful baby.Thanks for sharing this important event with me!



They are such a beautiful couple. Very devoted to each other.I can tell what awesome parents they will be.Lucky baby!

I totally love first-time parents-to-be. They are so full of life and excited about life. Gina & Ron were such a pleasure to work with.They were pretty laid-back-especially after moving 3 days ago,working full-time and having a baby due in 2 weeks!

Love Is In The Air

An official family portrait for the soon to be Espinoza family.Christina & Juan & Angela are getting married in September.We did their engagement pictures over the weekend.They were so easy to photograph and up for anything.I can't wait until September!!

Look at those amazing blue eyes! Angela is looking forward to the wedding because she gets to wear a fancy dress.

There is a really sweet bond between these two. Juan was not looking forward to having pictures taken but did it anyway for Christina.

Looks like spring is in the air...wrong! I did Christina & Juan's engagement pictures Saturday morning and it was COLD! We really wanted some outdoor shots - so they wore their coats and would take them off right before I would take the shot.
