Princess Becky's Senior Photo Shoot

Wow! What an adventure, literally..Meet Becky. A beautiful young lady(somewhat of a tomboy) who wanted her senior photos to be completely unlike anyone else's. And you know  how I love to think outside of the box. Well we took a trip to the river and snapped a few shots. She beautiful soft complextion against the grains of the wood on the cabin( Louis and Clark, IN) was a brilliant idea. It was such a great day to explore the outdoors and venture off to who knows where.

Well truth be told, I knew where...the Louisville Zoo! And what an adventure that was. She was dressed in a georgous formal dress and the Louisville Zoo was the perfect place for this shoot.

She waltzed through the zoo with people staring, expressing how beautiful she looked. One even said she looked like a princess...I agree!

It was a pleasure shooting Becky's photos. She was an awesome model. A completely stunning young lady, and I encourage her to look into modeling.

A walk in the garden with Ayeva

Ayeva Lorriane Conn was born July 13th,  2010 and weighed in at 7lbs 8oz . A beautiful little baby girl, I wanted to make sure I gave her a wonderful photo session that made the mothers and grandmothers "Ooo" and "Aww" with joy!

Alyssa and Jerome(mom and dad) are such lucky parents to have such a healthy and happy baby girl. She smiled for me during this entire photo session. Was a nice surprise for just a week old newborn. Usually its a task to wait for a smile, but she just kept shining them on, like she knew she was having her photo taken.

Visit to the Farm

Well we visited my mother-in-laws horse farm in Carlisle Ky this pasted weekend for a family reunion. During which we decided to snap a few photos and use this as an opportunity for a beautiful scenic backdrop.

Aaron my youngest wanted to play in the hay stacks so we used that first. Always a perfect model, he smiles and poses and gives me that awesome innocent smile.

The farm is so beautiful. Overlapping hills of green and horses perfectly placed as though they knew exactly where to stand.

Baby Madison

What a precious lil girl. Madison Merrell born June 11th at 5:28 pm. Premature, Madison came into this world about four weeks before it was time. She was only a mere 4lbs 8oz. and 16 inches long. This tiny lil bundle was a pure pleasure to shoot. She like most newborns did not want to cooperate completely, but we took our time and worked around her feedings and naps.

Congrats Heather!

Its that time of year when the cap and gown adorn the heads of many 18yr olds, and celebrating your cross over from your youth to adulthood is captured in a photograph.

Let me introduce you to Heather, a beautiful girl  who I've watched grown into this wonderful young lady over the years.Our shoot was done along the Ohio River with many stunning backdrops, which included the cabin of George Rogers Clark and the riverfront in Jeffersonville, In. Shortly after we arrived at the cabin, we quickly learned that several large buses would be unloading tons of tiny tots for a field trip. I knew right then Heather and I would have to work quickly to accomplish our goal of using the cabin without the "peek-a-boos" from little girls peering in my lens. So, I led her into a whirl of stand here and sit there and whizzed her around the cabin and we captured some awesome shots! After our little adventure shoot we decided to do some stuff in Kentucky, and headed over to Central Park. This is a perfect scenic backdrop and its frequently requested by alot of my seniors. My day with Heather so smooth as silk, she is a perfect lady and shooting her was so easy. She followed direction so well, and allowed me to create some wonderful photographs.

My recreations

Thought I would share something I enjoy doing for fun. I love to take favorite photos of everyday stuff and turn them into pieces I treasure by transforming them into works of art. I will show you the original photo and then what I turned it into after some time of playing around with it. This is something I really enjoy doing. I hope you appreciate it as well.

The first photo is of my two great-nieces. Jennie and Nicole. They are two adorable lil girls who have the sweetest spirits. Its always fun watching what children will do when you point the camera at them. These two decided to engage in a hug. Just goes to show how perfectly loving they are.

After

The next photograph was taken at a friends Halloween party. This lil lady is soo precious. Her name is Bella. She was intrigued by a butterfly that was part of my costume and how could I deny her when she asked if she could have my butterfly. After I attached the butterfly to her finger, she began to dance it through the air with grace just as a real butterfly would do. I grabbed my camera and captured the photo. It blurred a bit and was frustrated because I knew it would be such a cute photo. Then I played around with it and created a photo that would soon adorn my walls. She is a beautiful child and I was happy that I could turn such a sweet moment her and I shared into something I can now cherish and remember each time I look at the photo.

This just goes to show how I can take a photo that appears to be something ok and turn it into something spectacular. I love doing this stuff..its so much fun! Hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

CJ & Dad

From Cameron's(CJ) session we have two beautiful photographs to share. We got to capture him with dad.

This baby is a "HAM"...he does not know how to take a bad photograph. I just hope that he always stay this way.
