Michelle came to see me at the studio for head shots.The camera loves her! It was refreshing to see a teenager who was naturally pretty- not all made up. She has a glow about her that you can't get from make-up.
This was one of my favorites. I think she felt corney putting her hand up but it really works in this shot.
I like she's not really smiling in this one. It's good to see different expressions.We see more of her bone structure. Good luck, Michelle. You've definitely got the look!
I took pictures of my nephew Nathan for his 5th birthday. It falls near Valentine's Day - so we threw this one in. He was totally into it - for about 15 minutes. I had to shoot fast.
Nathan loves trains - so I thought we'd do a few shots on the tracks. He was so excited-I couldn't get him to stand still. He loved running up and down and investigating how the tracks are put together.
This is a famous "thing" in our family. When Nathan was 3 or 4 he told his Grandpa that his Grandma melts like butter when he winks like this. He's learned how to charm the ladies.
Nathan loves dogs. Tom(who I rent studio space from and is a good friend) has three dogs that all look alike. I had to bribe Nathan with a picture with the dog if he did all the other pictures first.
I know we've all heard this before, but what a waste to have these eyelashes on a boy!! It's so unfair.
I think having a close relationship with a grandparent is a priceless gift. Nathan gets to go to Grandma's two days a week. I don't know who looks forward to it more-Nathan or Grandma!
Tara came in for her senior pictures.I've known her since she was a little girl.It's so cool to see these kids growing up and ready to move on to the next step in life.
Tara-I know this isn't your favorite but it is a cool picture.
I love this one. It started to snow while we were down on the train tracks.
This is one of my favorites. It was hard to choose only a few to put on here. You did a great job and I wish you all of the very best life has to offer,Tara.
AnneChristine is getting ready to fly the coop. We did some senior pictures that you definitely wont get from the school photographer!
AC is such a naturally beautiful person. She always makes me smile.
LincolnWay Central has been lucky to have AC. She is one of the best tennis players(if not THE best) the school has ever had. She's got several colleges interested in her. It'll be interesting to see where she ends up.
Thanks for giving me the honor of taking your senior pictures. I had a lot of fun with you & your mom while we did these. I'm so proud of all you've accomplished and can't wait to see what the future holds for you!
Paul came to see me for his senior pictures last week. It was pretty chilly out but Paul and his mom were game for some outdoor shots. Paul-this one is your cd cover.
Love the sepia on this one. I kind of feel bad for seniors...such big decisions to make.It seems like there are so many more opportunities now then when I was a senior. (not that long ago...really.) Much harder to make a choice.My one piece of advice-love what you do and you'll never work a day in your life.I can't remember who said that but how true. 
I still see the little boy in this one. I've known Paul since he was in 4th grade. Same smile. Same humor.A great athlete but equally great musician.Paul-I hope you keep your music alive.
This is one of my favorites. One of them. Jane-have fun picking. Tough choices, girlfriend.
I LOVE this one. It's SO them!! Jane-if you even say anything negative about this picture I will delete the whole file!!For real. Seriously, they have a really close relationship. It's beautiful to see. Love & respect.
Don't even ask. By picture #345 we were getting slap-happy. Paul-just out of respect for you-I didn't put the pumpkin one or the little white stool one in here. I'm saving those...
I'm pretty sure this was Jonathon & Kevin's favorite part of the session. It was at the end and they'd done an awesome job.We decided to have a little fun. This is one of my favorite pictures from the session.
Isn't this a commom pose among siblings?
They look like they could do some damage here.
Thanks, Jonathon & Kevin. You guys did a great job!
This is another family from Minnesota.There are so many great places to shoot from at the lake. Rosie,Sophie & Will are lucky enough to spend almost all summer at Pelican Lake!
I love how each child has their own personalty.Rosie is definitely the "big" sister.The younger kids look up to her and follow her lead when playing. Can't you tell how sweet she is?
Sophie is next in line. She's a little quieter. She's content to play in the sand or swing on her new swing over the water. She is always thinking. Very fun to observe.
Will is just a complete crack-up! He always has a twinkle in his eye.He laughs a lot. I watch him run from one part of the resort to another-constant action. I want that energy!
I like how this is not posed. They did such a good job with these family pictures.Great listeners!
Looks like Dad just told a funny joke.I love this age group-they still think their parents are the greatest.Jason & Audra have done an amazing job with their kids! They are smart,funny,polite & of course, beautiful.
The road to Shangri-La.This is the road that leads into the resort. It's such a pretty road-gentle curves and suggled in the trees.
Thanks Jason & Audra! It really is an honor to take your family pictures.You have a beautiful family!
