senior session

Tess is a really, really cool person - one you're very lucky to know. For her seniors, we hadn't planned to go downtown but decided to at the last minute, and we were glad we did - we found this cool, brown alley-way and also discovered that the little stool i happened to have in my trunk matched her outfit. and of course, i always love some beautiful field shots.

we have a weeiiiinnneeerrrrr[s]!

little monkey

~DAY 3 OF MY BLOGIVERSARY~
This cutie-patootie is my precious 2 yr. old nephew - one of my top 4 favorite boys. I love this kid - he is so special and so sweet and such a crack-up. I'm definitely posting more in a few weeks with him and his daddy.

I'm working on my bnw's - i want to be Reb when i grow up, hehe. [btw, she just posted the BEST.POST.EVER. - i didn't use the channel mixer here, but i'm definitely going to try to learn how soon.]
The building behind him is undergoing remodeling, and that cool orange color is just some damp plywood - cool background, eh?
and who wouldn't be jealous of that bricked street?!? I love how it looks as a background - and can you believe i did NO burning on these pics! It had that vignette-ing on its own.

i LOVE this one so much - I'm hooking my brother up with a big 'ole canvas of this - i think the textured background will look so gorgeous wrapped around a thick-edged canvas!

i love seniors

~DAY 2 OF MY BLOGIVERSARY!!!~
K and her mom were soooo much fun! i just love senior sessions - they always impress me so much. And looking at these makes me miss my Arkansas shooting spots, but I'm sure we'll find some great ones here in Utah, too. So here's a peek for K - hope you love them! [Also, for those of you wondering about prizes - hold tight, I'm working on it - my son got really sick today, so it'll be a little bit before I can post about it, but the prizes are for both photographers AND civilians (hehe).]

BLOGIVERSARY

I've been blogging ONE YEAR today! wow - how time flies! I thought I'd post some fun pictures today to commemorate! One year ago, my very first post were some pics of my adorable cousin taken at our family reunion in Utah - and here she is again, exactly one year later! Since she's my cousin, i wanted to do something a little different than the average senior photoshoot, so she let me dress her up and do a little utah-cowgirl-style shoot, ha! I LOVE all the colors of the desert - it's so different than Arkansas, but so beautiful.








Check back this week - I'll be posting everyday [or attempting to!], and I'll be doing drawings for prizes for those who leave comments! i'll announce those tomorrow - THanks for stopping by!
