Sessions

Ok I am behind on posting some of my favorites from some of my recent sessions :)
I just loved photographing this little girl!! first a GIRL i rarely photograph girls it seems :)
this photo just spoke to me. i thought it was so sweet! i know her back is turned but there is some sort of innocence in it.





She was sooo cute and full of great spunk. She would run all over (but in a good way - not in a run away way). It was sooo much fun!







another one i thought was cute.

All the flowers were in bloom and gave me some great backdrops.







and then my Abbey road series. so cute as she was running across the crosswalk :)

Ok i promise I am going to post more often again. I will post some of my favorites from a session from last month, plus some photo tips and other things :)

Me Monday :)

Ok to be honest, I posted my photos of the animals a few weeks ago, and i LOVE them, but the real story is that I am not all that keen on being in a free area with animals!

here are some examples...

ok and this one, what is funny about this one is that I honestly thought i was standing RIGHT NEXT to the reindeer! LOL! it wasnt until I saw the photo that i realized i was 3 feet away! too funny!



I actually did ok, WAY better then when I went swimming with the stingrays in Grand Cayman 4 years ago :)

Me Monday

Every Monday I figure I will post something about me. Well I had this concept 2 weeks ago, but got busy and never got around to posting. WELL now I actually have something to post!
I AM PREGNANT!
A total surpise! But we are happy! Its just a little sooner then we wanted, but we are excited to have a brother or sister for brett.
And this is relevant to my business as I will need to take April and some of May off next year to be with the baby. When I get a real due date I will know for sure and will post more about my time off later this year.
One fun thing will be maternity and newborn photos! I have some great ideas and cant wait to try them out over the next year!

"You are going to be a Reindeer"

this is one of the funny stories and a great behind the scene type photo. I am LITERALLY telling this reindeer the following......

"Ok I need your help. You are going to be my model. So...you are going to be a reindeer, and then I am going to take your photo."












It worked he let me take his photo!












and i got great photos!


He was such a great MODEL!

Alaska

Sorry I havent posted in awhile.
I went to Anchorage, Alaska last friday for the day. Yes you heard that right for the day :)





I went for about 17 hours with my friend Erin.


She works for Alaska airlines and can fly free so we went there for the day and had a wonderful time! Then I had some sessions so I have been busy proofing photos. I am even behind on Brett's blog. But stay tuned I promise I will have more frequent updates from now on!








It is so beautiful. It was my third trip to Alaska, and makes that my 5th Alaskan City as well.



Here you can see me in Alaska with my camera :)

We went to a conservation center that has lots of animals on tons of acres and there were some great photo opportunities!










then we went to a park that was by the airport where you cuold see anchorage

and here you can see a pick of me taking the above shot!

We also went to tehbeach that was down below the park still by the airport and it also overlooked the city. That was a lot of fun as we took some great graffiti photos (which i hope to post later)




and the airplanes flew RIGHT OVER us!
Then for the highlight of the trip.




We went to a Reindeer farm in Palmer. it was so cool. you got to go into the wide open areas with about 30 or so reindeer. something so much more then a petting zoo.

We got to pet not only the reindeer but a moose too!


















But the highlight of the trip was the baby moose. The people at the farm were sooooo nice and let us into the baby moose pen!

I got to pet and photograph a baby moose!























And I got my favorite photo from the trip! I love how it looks like he is smiling at me!























Ok so that was just a peak at my alaska photos. I hope to post more later and also post some of my recent sessions too this week!
