This little girl, was one of three I did in a family shoot. It was her, her mom, and her sister. The reason I chose to share this particular image with you, is this is one of those children that mom told me, didn't like to take pictures, and it was hard to get good pictures of her.

I let her play, and played with her, and she soon forgot i had a camera in my hand, and i was able to capture some really good images of her. I'm drawn to the "innocence" in this picture. I just love it. aren't her eyes mesmerizing?

This is another senior boy I did. This image does not have any "texture" applied to it. This was simply the shadows from a tree on the wall behind him. It turned out to be my favorite picture from his shoot. It is meaningful and makes you stop and think.

Boys and their toys!

this was a favorite from a senior shoot I did. This girl was easy to photograph, she had the most beautiful smie.

I'm drawn to this image because of the contrast of colors. I like how the purple contrasts so well with the neutral tones she is wearing.

and, another black and white photo

There isn't a whole lot to say about this photo, other than it was really fun to take. I had a very short depth of field f1.8 on the camera, now that's not usually reccomended for portraits, but I wanted the effect that it creates. I focused on the eyes, and so the rest of the picture is slightly out of focus. I then convereted it to black and white which made her eyes "pop".

I love this picture, i think it is a great picture and really tells the story of this particular subject.

drew barrymore?

This is a picture from my "easter sessions" there aren't any bunnies in it or anything "easter" but I think it's so cute, and I'm partial to black and white.

This is one of those kids that doesn't like to look at me, so mom's don't worry, even if they don't look at me or smile, there will still be cute pictures.

I think she kind of looks like a young Marilyn Monroe, my husband thinks she looks like drew barrymore. Like the E.T. Drew. either way, she was a cute kid and we got lots of cute pictures of her.

oh...look at the clouds.

This was a great senior shoot. It was my first time to try to capture the "clouds" while using the flash to light the subject. I am really pleased with the way this picture turned out. I love that the clouds are nice and dark, and that she is so illuminated.

She also has a custom watermark, it is her signature, and then I added some text to it. That is something that is only available to seniors.
