And the Beauty Queen is...

I finally finished the senior pictures of my bestest little sister (and soon to be auntie!) She is pretty much drop dead gorgeous! There was one time when I was working on her pictures at the college while Peter worked on his homework and one of his friends was like, "Woah, who is that?" Peter proceeded to tell him it was my sister and that she is available... 

Not for another couple of months until she graduates and then she is free to get herself hitched! He he... 

Well for your viewing pleasure - here is my sis! 

Senior Photoshoot

Let me introduce the beautiful, magnificent, talented, and hilarious Emily - my little sister! She is a senior this year and is so grown up I can hardly believe it! My funny little sis who used to walk around in her bathing suit and my moms pink pumps is now a full grown woman deciding on colleges and working in the real world.

She just turned 18 at the beginning of this month too!

My family lives far, far away in Texas and so I flew out to see them for a weekend and we took Emily's senior photos while I was there. It was way fun because their little downtown had all these cute run-down homes where we went and set up a mini studio.

We also had a blast with the crickets in a massive hay field with GIANT hay bails!

I am so glad I got to take some time with my sis and do these pictures for her. She should just forget school and go into modeling but I don't think my parents would approve... he he. I can't wait for her to go off to college and have a blast experiencing those years!

We all love you, Auntie Em! *More beautiful pictures to come...*

8 is GREAT!

A great age for having pictures taken that is! Paige and I had so much fun together pretending that she was a beautiful maiden in a garden dreaming of her prince charming or transforming into the lead in the play Oklahoma! 
Mid-way through the session she was really getting the hang of this model thing and started coming up with some of her poses all on her own! We just had so much fun playing. 
Congratulations Paige-y on your recent baptism! Your Heavenly Father loves you and is so happy with the decision you have just made! 

Olivia!

Now here is one cute and very active little girl. I must say that 1 yr olds are a lot of work but they sure are adorable. 
I, for whatever reason, just love this shot. I think it is a more abstract looking picture and I love the way the shading is on her back and face. 
Isn't she beautiful! I love this portrait of her with those little eyes. Just a perfect little face. 

Too long...

I have been away for too long lately, and for that I apologize. I have had no energy since this baby is needing everything I have. I just did a new photo shoot for a little boy who is just ADORABLE! He was the first little guy I have done and so it was a lot of fun coming up with some different ideas to try with him. I am still working on the edits for that one so to give you a little eye candy until I return from a little vacation to the Virgin Islands, here is another look at a picture from Alessia's shoot.

Alessia's 2yr old Portraits

Well life has been nothing short of crazy recently... I just found out on the 7th that Peter (my husband) and I are expecting our first new addition to the family! I was working on a little animation to reveal the exciting news to my family who lives far away so that took some time. I have also been very sick lately, for obvious reasons, which has set my work load on the back burner. Not only that but things are starting to pick up for me right now and I have already had to reschedule one portrait session due to nausea. I did manage to get a shoot of this adorable little girl, Alessia. 

She is such a doll and was very patient, although not too smiley. We did figure out some ways to have some fun which included her dad getting a little wet!
These are for her 2 year old birthday. Her dress was SO pretty and she looked like a little princess in it. 
I was pretty worried about the location we shot at because it is a very frequently used spot for engagement and family pictures where we live but I think we were able to find some really unique shots and angles which makes this session all Alessia's own! 

Little Cam

Oh the funny faces little girls make...Finally, here is the cutest little girl EVER! We had a fun time once she finally warmed up to me and my camera. The tutu added so much, I thought it was just perfect for a little girl! All these crazy faces she would pull were hysterical! I also found some fun new locations that I am aching to try out again so if you are interested just shoot me an e-mail or give me a call and we can schedule a session for your little girl (or boy, or couple, or family) too!
