Robbie S.






I have always tried to tell a story about the personalities of my Highschool Seniors and Robbie was one of those that I really didn't even need to try from our very brief conversations I knew right away that this would be a shoot for the books! Robbie you are very talented and truly the apple of your mothers eye. Congrats for finishing up a year early and keep rocking those tunes out !

Miss Alyx


Miss Alyx  is graduating this year .. So hard to believe that such an amazing young lady has grown up so fast even in the short time that I have known her as one of my photography students. I have been blessed by her warmth and creativity. 
Alyx all the best as you continue to seek christ in your life and you make this next step in adulthood :)

HAD TO SNEAK THIS IN


As with all my shoots I find my self sneaking in my own ideas and work sometimes ( I just can't help it ) this shot was taken at the Cambodia Product shoot but is really for me and my amazing model. As a reminder to all that its what is on the inside that counts.

From Cambodia with LOVE









Monday morning I was off to shoot with some amazing models and dear friends. For a very special product shoot for some dear friends of mine all the products  are from cambodia and are made with some of the most comfortable silk ever. The girls and I were thrilled when the Stanley Family asked us to do this special shoot for them. I know several of you have asked how you can purchase these shirts and handbags and as soon as the Stanley's website goes up I will let you know. GIRLS THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS MAKING MY JOB LOOK SO EASY :)

It was an early morning out at Casper's Park for us as we took Tim H. A senior from Creekside Christian Senior Portraits. I have enjoyed every conversation with his mom Donna, who has been so encouraging and sweet to me over these last few weeks as we made preparations for the shoot. Tim was so easy to pose and his photos turned into us breaking the rules all over the place ( smiles )  We can't wait to see you again Tim all the best on graduation and college keep in touch with us. Oh.. wait.... Tim just celebrated his 18th birthday this week as well so

Jamie, 
These past 2 weekends have been so much fun.. I can't believe what an amazing, young but powerful actress you are ( not to mention entertaining) I am still laughing over your part as tour guide barbie.
