yay, yay, yay...

...another senior! (unfortunately, this is the last of my recent run of seniors, sniff, sniff. So, send all your seniors my way for next spring, I just love 'em!) Maddie was so fun, as you can see, we trooped around downtown and then went to a little farm:
(*Disclaimer: I'm away from home, editing on a laptop, so I apologize if these look wonky at all*)

APRONS!!!!!!!!

Now is your chance to win a FREE apron or apron kit! Remember the adorable aprons I photographed earlier this year? Well, I can finally send you over to the adorable site (if I do say so myself - I think it's the cutest website ever, and I'm so proud of it!) She blogs, too, & right now she's doing a give-away over there, so go check it out HERE!

She is offering apron kits or ready-made aprons. The kits would make adorable gifts (so would the aprons =) And the cool thing about her aprons is that they are REVERSIBLE! So, see the aprons below --- like them both? --- well, you get them BOTH, because it's reversible!!!

(I have "Molly" and love her - I feel so cute in the kitchen.) These are her new styles available now (remember these are REVERSIBLE, and they also tie in the front OR back, and I photographed them both ways below, so the bow doesn't have to be there, if you prefer it tied in the back.):





Here is the apron kit, also available for sale:


GO ENTER TO WIN! (AND BUY SOME, TOO! - You'll love them!)

senior

here's another fun senior! we had a blast!

i know you've been waiting, Tori, so here's a quick sneak peek!

i think i can, i think i can.....

thank goodness for good tunes to get me through all this proofing! this is a fun one by Vampire Weekend called "A-Punk".

urban senior

i demonstrated this senior session during a mentoring session, and it was so fun. i was looking for some places i had never shot at before, and we found some fun litle spots, like that yellow wall, which i loved. and isn't she beautiful! she is half guatemalan, and i loved her funky style. thanks ashlee!

(she *hearts* this wall, so i had to put one of these up ;)

a senior guy, woohoo!

you know, teenage boys aren't so scary! this one made my job particularly easy, thanks miles!











and don't worry, mom, there are plenty of smiling shots, too =) - these were just my personal faves.

my nephew

i love this little guy! i know i'm a bit biased, but isn't he adorable?!?! our last "photoshoot" was about a year ago, and he's gotten so big and handsome!

{insert clever title here}

as you can see, i've had the opportunity to do a lot of senior sessions lately, which makes me very happy. here's another sneak peek! (...i think she was wondering why i was photographing her feet here:)

without glasses:


we shot both downtown and at the lake:

don't her eyes look so cool in the b&w version? and i didn't do anything to them, either (no really, i didn't. in fact, people ask me that a lot - if i do stuff to people's eyes - and in case you've been wondering too, the answer is nope.)
