Love ya miss B! Good job!

and Holy Moly!! Who is that in the picture with her????? :)

Two by Two...

and aren't they beautiful!?! How lucky am I that I got to photograph another set of twins? They are a lot of work, but sooo worth it! Thank You so much L for letting me photograph your beautiful babes! I hope you enjoy your little sneak peak!

Grandma Kelli!!!

Sorry, Kelli - I couldn't resisit! :)
This is my good friend, Kelli's first little grandbaby. Isnt' he the cutest?!? AND... he came all the way from Utah for me (okay maybe he came for grandma, but i'm gonna pretend it was for me:) He was such a good baby. He slept sooo well for the first part and let me curl him up so sweet. Congrats guys!!! He's perfect!

Photos for Daddy

from a sweet little family!
I had never met them before the shoot - only emailed back and forth. When they arrived at the location the oldest boy got out first. I took one look at him and thought man this kid looks like my kids. Sure enough, he is 1/4 korean just like my little kiddos.

Then the mom gets out of the car with the little brother. You wouldn't even know he was asian. Check out these gorgeous eyes!

And I have some of the bluest eyes ever and have never and probably will never get a baby of my own with eyes like these. Lucky little dude!

Another Senior!

What is taking these guys sooooo long??? :) Hey atleast they're getting it done, right? And I have to admit that I pretty much forced this guy's mom to hire me.
And now,... .I'm glad I did and I'm pretty sure she's glad that I did too. :)






can you tell he shaved for mom 1/2 way through the session? :)

BABY-BABY

Yes, two beautiful babies! While I was in Arizona last weekend, Holly and I had the opportunity to photograph 4 day old twin baby boys. They were Perfect! What an awesome opportunity for us - and guess what??? I get to do it again next week. :) Only this time it will be 2 beautiful baby girls. Lucky me!
For now.. Take a look at these handsome little guys!

isn't this one cute...


just one of them. I'm not sure which :)

Picture Life...

Okay, so basically Holly has already said it all on her blog. The day was AWESOME! Seriously, I would do it over and over. I couldn't have asked for a better group of women to talk Photogrpahy with! You guys were all the best!!! Thanks again for coming and for making the day great!

Can't wait for Salt Lake!!!
and some shots of a few of our beautiful models...

Gorgeous, Gorgeous x6!

Seriously! Are they not the most beautiful family you've ever met?!? When Holly asked me if I'd take their family pictures, I have to admit I was a bit(maybe even a lot) nervous. I've never taken photos for another photographer before and then to have it be one of my best friends in the whole world....and.... I really want to remain her best friend..... so yeah - NERVOUS!
Then, then day of pictures I come down with this horrible migraine. By the time we got to the location - yes, the apparently famous "Pecans", it took everything out of me to not throw up. I told her that if I didn't get anything good, I'd just fly out in October for a re-shoot. So with the migraine, I definately didn't get everything that I planned, but... it turns out that I don't think I have to fly back in for a re-shoot.(although I'll probably fly back out anyway). I LOVE what I got and Holly, I hope you do to!
Love ya!

I'm thinking I just might get this in a canvas for my own wall.. What d'ya think? :)

You Say it's Your BIRTHDAY...

nanananana....It's my BIRTHDAY tooo-ooo...nanananana... Yup - That's right. Today I turn 32 years old. Woohoo... (that's right - I'm publicly announcing it :) )
I have sooooo much to post and share and I know soooo many of you are waiting for pics from this weekend.
For those of you who don't know, I flew to Mesa this weekend. The weekend started with a photo shoot for my Best Friend HOLLY and her beautiful family. Even though I didn't feel well, it really was an honor to be able to do a photoshoot for her. Her family is one of the most beautiful families I know. And her children, sooo well behaved. LOVE them!!!
On Saturday we held our first "Picture Life" workshop. It was AWESOME!!!! I met some of the most incredible, beautiful, wonderful women EVER!!! If you were there and you're reading this... THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH for coming! I had a blast!
So hopefully I'll have pictures to share soon from that! :)
Then, on Sunday, Holly and I had the opportunity to do a photoshoot together of absolutely beautiful 4 day old twin baby boys!!! We were sooo giddy! So yeah - TONS of pictures from that too.
I got home late last night and still have to transfer the hundreds, literally hundreds, of pictures onto my computer and edit them so you can all see. I guess i just wanted to let you all know that they're coming. So.... Stay Tuned!

6 feet 2 inches of Senior BOY!

This guy was sooo fun to work with. He was laid back, and totally went for everything I suggested. I was a little worried about working with a guy, cuz girls are so much easier to pose, but I had nothing to worry about with this one.
Thanks "Z"! ... hey - is that Z for Zoolander?



and I had to share this one just to give you all an idea of how tall this guy was. I was sooo glad that I didn't forget my stool this time. I definately needed it.

And a HUGE THANK YOU for everyone that took the time to check out my new site! I really appreciated all the comments and emails sent my way!

I think I'm ready...

...to announce the launch of my new website!

I've actually had it up and running for almost a week now, but have been spending time tweaking and such. I'd love if anyone has the time to take a look and give me their thoughts, opinions, critiques, etc... on anything. You can leave me comments here or e-mail me at beadwithme@adelphia.net.
Thanks for any input!
