Portrait: Nikki and Lindsey

These two girls were way too much fun! It has been a few weeks since we did their senior/best friend pictures but because life has been a little crazy I am just now able to get them up here. The girls wanted to shoot in a meadow and the field of flowers we found was amazing! We had a ton of fun laughing and goofing off, not only because they are way funny but because one of my best friends and amazing stylists, Celeste, is Nikki's older sister and came along to do hair and makeup for both the girls and to provide plenty of entertainment for all of us. You may remember her from here and here. Any how, these three ladies provided an extra fun day for me and I had a great time capturing the fun. Good luck to both you girls and have a wonderful time rooming together at BIOLA!

Portrait: Desirae

Goodness I have been so excited to blog this senior session! This is Desirae my brothers very sweet counterpart. She puts up with all his (and our!) nonsense and fits right in with the family. We love her to pieces. When she asked me if I would be willing to take her pictures I was honored. Not only is she gorgeous (as you will see) but she is very fun loving and full of humor, so I knew it would be an enjoyable day. We drove down the hill to shoot at the same spot her parents took their wedding photos- sooo sweet! and dove right in. The place was amazing. We were there for hours and didn't come close to hitting all the locations available. Not only that but there are peacocks just roaming around everywhere. It was unreal. All in all, we had a great time laughing and shooting and I'm sure making other guests feel uncomfortable with our dancing and goofing off. So here she is... the lovely Desirae.

Ok, like I said on my Facebook, I know it literally has been FOREVER since I posted. I haven't disappeared, I promise. I've been working like a crazy person actually. The thing is, I'm really excited about some of the stuff I have been working on and had been planning to showcase the last few sessions when I launched the new site. However, because of my ridiculous indecisiveness-I know! its awful- it looks like the site won't be launched for a few months and that is just way too long to wait to share. So without any further ado, here is the first of the sessions I've been holding out on. Keep checking in I have a ton to put up.

Brianna is graduating this year- congratulations class of 2011- and wanted something other than the stuffy studio pictures that a lot of seniors get offered. So we went on a bit of a hike, in heals and all, to get some really great ones.

Enjoy your week, and check back soon!

Portrait: Austin

Before I go into the post telling you all how great Austin is, I want to give an update on why I haven't blogged in FOREVER! Obviously the holidays are always busy, but the last few weeks have been filled with getting Christian ready to fly out to Israel. He flew out yesterday and will not be returning to the States until May 7. Your prayers are much appreciated! I hope this post will satisfy the long absence on the blog- again, so sorry! Trust me, you'll be seeing much more of me from here on out. Oh and keep an eye out because branding and a website will be coming soon- I can't wait!

Ok so enough of me going on and on. Austin is a good family friend of mine who will be graduating at the end of the year. He is one of the coolest people I know. And not cool as in too-cool-for-anyone-else cool, but a genuine cool. He has a personality that draws people to him, an awesome sense of style, and mad guitar skills. He's cool. We went out on a FREEZING December day, and the spot we picked happened to be a major wind tunnel, but like I always say, my clients are great! He didn't even blink an eye. I was complaining the whole time about how cold my toes and nose and fingers were and you would have thought it was a sunny 70 degrees with him. He was great! I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I did. Sorry they are so late- happy Sunday.

Portrait: Alyssa

So this amazing shoot was with a good friend of mine, Alyssa. The pictures were actually supposed to be for her Sweet 16, but it took some time to actually get to doing them so Happy 16 and 1/2 Birthday, Alyssa! You truly are a lovely young woman, inside and out.
