Storyboard--Higgins family

(click to see bigger)
Here's another example of a storyboard. It's a great way to display photos without using a traditional frame. This is a 10x20, but could be printed as a 5x10 as well. It comes mounted on a 2mm styrene board with a linen texture on top and could be displayed on a small easel or framed.

The Higgins Family

This family of six was so adorable that it made me want to have four kids (and that's saying a lot considering I've about had it with pregnancy right now)! They were full of energy and I was able to get tons of cute photos of them, both posed and candid. Here's just a small sampling... (click especially on the family pictures to see them bigger!)

This first picture is the same one I posted a few days ago, but with a vintage look to it. Something about Macee's little dress and sweater just made me want to see these votes with a vintage flair!




And now, a series of pictures of little Mylee, because tomorrow is her first birthday!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MYLEE!

Kevin

Kevin was another one of my cross country athletes and he was in my AP English and on my journalism staff this past year. He is well known around school as the person to ask if you need something fixed, especially anything related to technology. Kevin spends a lot of his time hiking and climbing mountains, so we went for very natural settings for his pictures--Bluffs Regional Park and Castlewood Canyon.

If you were looking at these first few pictures and thinking--wow, what beautiful light--know that it took some sacrifice to get it! Kevin met me at 6:00 am so that we would have that beautiful glowing morning light.


When I'm at a photoshoot, there are a couple of things that I will never do. I will never put the client in danger, such as suggesting that they balance on two rocks above a canyon or climb into a tree that was struck by lightning...I would never ever do that...unless it looks really cool. Don't you think it was worth it for these pictures? (click to see bigger)

Fifty Years!

I was excited and honored to be a part of Bill and Rosalie's 50 year anniversary celebration. I've taught their granddaughters the last few years and will really miss this family when we move! Fifty years of marriage is quite an accomplishment and I'm glad I could be there to capture their love and commitment to one another!

Nancy is such a good cook...check out this beautiful cake she made!

The Purple Couch

Xavier's babysitter Kristy and her family have a purple couch in their living room. I've had the idea for months now that I would love to take that couch out in a field and photograph their family of six on it. I was so excited when I mentioned it to Kristy and they were totally up for the idea. So finally tonight, after two rainouts (one involving a tornado) and reschedules, we got the purple couch picture!

This family was up for anything so check back later for lots more FUN pictures!

Just one!

When Abbie referred her sister-in-law Tammie to me, Tammie told her she would be happy with just one picture where all her children were looking and smiling. Well, here you go...
(Of course, I have way more than just one that I'll get to sharing in a day or two!)

Brian and Sara--Part Two--Just the two of them

After the ceremony and all the formal pictures afterwards, we went to the town park before heading to the reception. I think it was nice for Brian and Sara to have some time to themselves and nice for me to be able to capture them in a more relaxed setting! As you can see from the pictures, they ignored me most of the time :)
