Dinora Class of '08

I met Dinora on Tuesday afternoon for her senior photo session. Besides having a wonderfully unique name, this senior has an adorable and infectious smile too!

I couldn't wait to take the first shot at our session.
We covered a lot of ground that day and have plenty to show for it.

We went for a variety and I think we did it. I had such a terrible time narrowing these down...just playing-it was soooo fun searching through the awesome mounds of files finding just the right ones for this post. :-)

My Pick of the Day! Of course, since it's the 1st time I've shot somebody wearing their cap & gown. She looks so beautiful here and so HAPPY to be GRADUATING!
Isn't the setting just splendid for this? Chillin out by this cool wall we found. Goodness her hair looks perfect...
and you can't even tell it was cold and windy out.Digging the framing on this one...stylish.Lovely in Vintage! The bricks remind me of school.A different look with a cool vibe!The classy and sophisticated shot of the day with a little extra texture flavor & text on it.
*Post update-
Gigantic THANKS to my dear friend & faithful blog reader Alisha for pointing out a grammatical error on this next photo and post title.
What would I do without my good friends to help me out?
I appreciate you spotting it and letting me know right away.
The original post had Class of 08' instead of Class of '08! OOPS!!! :-) The softer side of a gorgeous young lady...I so love this shot. Don't you???I am so grateful to Dinora for picking me to take her photographs...thank you girlie!
Good luck in College next year & Happy Graduation!!!

Tess Class of 08' (Stop and Stare)

It was my pleasure to work with beautiful Tess early today for her senior photo session. This picture had to be the sneak peek of her shoot. While editing I couldn't help but hum the tune to OneRepublic's song "Stop and Stare". I spotted this mini stop sign in a local community and just had to have her pose by it. Tess was up for trying all sorts of fun stuff and it payed off-her photos are seriously SIZZLIN HOT! Doesn't hurt that she's so pretty and photogenic!

Look for more coming soon...

Mary & Miriam's Senior Portraits (Final Set)

Mary & Miriam wanted me to try some unusual edits on their photos and I think these will meet with their approval. I love unique looks!

This photo of Mary is brilliant...she looks amazing and I think the vintage style edit works well~

What a gorgeous photo and girl~

A wild shot...love the intensity in Miriam's eyes~

Just being the beauty she is~Girls...hope you like them. Thanks for the sweet emails...talk to you soon! :-)

Megan - Class of '08 Cont.

I narrowed down these to be my favorites from our session in the "woods" last weekend.
I hope Megan likes them too!

Wow Megan...you know how to smile girl! I love, love, love this photo!
I know I say it a lot, but I really do mean it~

Precious...I like the downward look, sweet grin and the "pop" of color from her jacket that was casually hanging off her shoulder~

Love this pose, again with that incredible smile and the added special texture
(BIG thanks to my friend Jen for sending it right over when I asked about it)!

A quick snap of Megan with her long time boyfriend Matt.
These two...very cool teens~

Mary & Miriam's Senior Portraits (Set 1)

Here are some more teasers from two senior friends-Mary & Miriam. This shoot started at 4pm and was one of the hottest days to do outdoor photos. It was easily 100 degrees-even at 4pm. We rocked it out though. These two were full of clever ideas and we tried to squeeze it all in.
I'll be sharing more as I get them edited.
These are all in black and white as this was the preference of both Mary and Miriam.

Thanks for choosing me to do your senior photos girls...it was awesome!

I also wanted to thank my daughter Brittany for assisting me with this shoot...
you did great hunny!

Mary here...such a pretty smile~

Looking incredibly comfortable in front of the camera~

Miriam here...A playful shot when she wasn't didn't think I was clicking away-
so classy and natural looking~

She's looking highly sophisticated here...I liked how she naturally crossed her feet~Two lovely seniors!

Megan - Class of '08

This was a very special session for me today with Megan. I've known Megan since I was 14 years old. I believe that means she was around 4 years old when we met.
Now she's all grown up and graduating from high school!

Congratulations Megan!!!

Check back for some fun & stylish shots from this shoot later in the week.

Hope you enjoyed your teaser photos! What a sweet and super quick shoot. You wouldn't think we'd have so many great shots in only a 1/2 hour of shooting time, but we do...and these are only a taste of them. Check your private gallery on my website for the rest of your shots later this
week.
Hope you two love birds had a great time at Prom the other evening!
