Peter {Class of 2011}

Poly — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 00:46:18 +0000

My session with Peter was so awesome! Sister (and fashion coordinator) Kaytee also joined us and by the end of the session we all enjoyed some nice ice cream and popsicles – it was HOT! Peter’s favorite color is red and he is not sure if he wants to go for Business or Engineering, but my opinion is that he can go for either because he’ll be great at it! I love his serious face… and I think he has a very boyish face when he smiles.. LOVE IT! I had a blast… Thanks guys! ‘Till next time!

It was simply awesome to meet Amber. She is smart, funny, gorgeous, and the camera absolutely adored her! I know she is dying to see these so here’s sneak peek.

The lovely Christina {Sneak Peek}

Sometimes when I’m driving I see spots that I know I just have to go back to for pictures. I was able to take Christina to some of these spots this Thursday. Our session ended with a gorgeous sunset . Christina makes gorgeous headbands which I use personally and also in my sessions. You can find her awesome stuff at: http://cjjscreations.blogspot.com/ – Christina, I had a blast with you!

Nick {Class of 2010}

It was so awesome to meet Nick! He is into movies (like me), and reading/writing (like me), and as we talked we found out we had a lot in common! Our session went by so quick… Nick, I wish you all the best and good luck with your book!

Amanda’s Grad Party!

Poly — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 17:25:13 +0000

I met Amanda and her family back in April for family and senior pictures and we hit it off right away! I was SOOoo pleased when her mom called me and asked me to come and take pictures of her graduation party! I got to meet the rest of the family and enjoy Patti’s wonderful cooking! It was such a pleasure! Here’s a little sneak peek!

The Queen {and king}

Poly — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 01:14:21 +0000

Amanda was prom queen just the day before our session – how sweet is that? And her lovely boyfriend (who helped me tons with my reflector) was the prom king… Ah, seriously too sweet! They were so adorable and Amanda’s family was super sweet! I kinda felt like I knew them all for years! Her mom, Patti, will probably laugh when she reads this, but she definetely seems like a mom to a lot of people, she just has that kind of good heart . I’ll post some pictures of the family soon, but for now, enjoy the queen – and a little bit of the king; I just couldn’t resist taking a picture of them together! Oh, and don’t you think Amanda looks like Misha Barton from the O.C?

Sneak Peek for {Nicky}

This Sat I attended a 10 hour workshop with the amazing Rodrigo Bressane and the day really just blew me away. Part of the workshop was to photograph this gorgeous girl! She is a ballerina and later I’ll post some really cool studio pictures we did including some awesome jumps! For now, a little sneak peek…

North Carolina Beauty | Noemia Gustavo

I’m still trying to catch up on my blog posts! While in NC I had no down time. When people heard I was coming they decided it was a great opportunity to get photos done – so, I worked a little more than I thought I would! The beauty of Charlotte waseverywhere! I love the look of the lushes vegetation, and over there Fall is still so noticeable… It was beautiful to see the trees full of reds and yellows and open my eyes to everything around me! Here is another beauty from Carolina…

Scott’s Senior Pictures

Poly — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 01:28:19 +0000

I just love his laugh on the picture above…

Scott runs everyday, and goes through running shoes like crazy! I guess you can’t look this good if you don’t put in the effort I should get inspired by him and star exercising more…

Of course we didn’t forget Daphne! She is such a sweetie and loves to give kisses!

Scott, good luck with everything! I wish you all the best….
