{ what to wear }

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

I get questions all the time about wardrobe. What should I wear?, What should my husband wear?, etc. This week, the extremely talented photographer, Kelsey Anderson, is a guest blogger on another photography website, MCP actions. She posted a GREAT tutorial for family outfits. So, go check out this wonderful visual guide.

No post without a pic! Here is my gorgeous niece, Jade, in an example of my senior sessions.

Also, this dress is available to be used as a prop for a senior session.

Call or email to schedule your senior session today!

Practice makes perfect. While I am far from perfect, I do like to practice every chance I get. Every once in a while, I like to do a shoot for pure fun. Today’s play date was one of those days. I got the idea for it several months ago while riding in the hunting club with my husband. (Yes, we are “southern”:) I have an idea for another one in the woods, but it will have to wait for cooler weather. I digress…

Thanks to three beautiful, sweet little girls, who also happen to be the best of friends, I had my models. Thanks to the creativity of the moms, I had the costumes. We didn’t see any snakes. The yellow flies left us alone, too. The most exciting part of the day was mud-bogging in the minivan. Looking at the images we captured, I can say that it was totally worth it! Don’t you agree?!?

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

and welcome to my new blog! I have been looking to make a new blog because I didn’t like the compression of my images on the old blog. Well, what better way to introduce my new, improved blog than with images from a super cool, funky, “wild” shoot;-) Enjoy!

Here is a good example of a “different” use for a session. Miss Diane braved the cold and wind to update her modeling portfolio. Gorgeous is all I can say! She has some of the most perfect features I have ever seen! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek:) Lots more to come!
