Book Your Senior Session

Posted on July 26, 2009

By now you are probably scheduled for your Year-Book portrait. Although I am not allowed to take your Year-Book portrait, I surely can offer you a fun session — totally personalized to you.

What are your likes? Do you play a sport? Do you have a super-cool car or motorcycle that you would like to have in your Senior photo? I would love to capture you — what defines you being you. There are some super cool places in the valley that are fun to have as back-drops. And if you book your session by August 31st, I have a super cool gift for you…A personalized License Plate for the front of your car…The template does not do the product (metal) justice, but I thought that I show you what can be done…

I am looking forward hearing from you to schedule your personal Senior Session for 2010.

Until then, take care…

Summer Heat and the Phoenician

Posted on July 14, 2009

Over the last three months I have learned a lot — I mean a lot. I always thought that I would not enjoy working with kids, especially younger ones. But I was so wrong…

Last weekend I had the chance to have a session at the Phoenician. I was trilled that my husband agreed to go with me. I love having him with me when I go for a session – he is so knowable and I appreciate his advice on photo shoots.

As you can expect, it was hot (really hot) last weekend. I have never worked so hard on formatting photos (don’t worry, I won’t go into details – ) …Well, one of the kids was sweet little 2-year-old Tyler. I really bonded with him on the session on June 19th. He even gave me a hug this time…

Let me share some shots with him and his cousins that flew in from California for the holiday weekend…

I just love this face. I told my client that I would like little Tyler as my model . You have to admit, his face is just too cute — oh and those sweet, big eyes…

Here is a shot all four kids — check out Tyler’s sweet expression in this shot — too cute

The next shot is of Kyrra and Bobby (Tyler’s older brother) …Loving it!!!! Check out Kira’s eyes — just marvelous…

Okay, now I need to find some girls to photograph…Check out this sweet shot. Her eyes are just stunning, don’t you agree?

If by chance, you are reading this post, have girl(s) between the ages of 3 and 8, I would love to hear from you. Please use my contact form, enter “Blog Post” in the ‘where did you find us’ section, and ‘Girl(s) Fall session’ in the message box. I will be waiving the session fee for you (first one to contact me only).

I wanted to share one more photo from last weekend’s session. I am planning to add couples to my portfolio in the Fall. Doesn’t the background almost look like a fake? I promise you, it is not – the shot is also taken at the Phoenician — outside…

Thanks for stopping by today…until next time…

A Special Request

Posted on July 4, 2009

One of my clients had a special request on formatting a photo of her sweet boys. Although I didn’t know how to do it, I thought I give it a try (the concept is really cool – IMHO). I have seen greeting cards of the world famous photographer, Kim Anderson who uses this style.. If you know her name, would you please let me know. I want to give her the credit for this concept.

Here is the finished photo (aged and hand-painted)…

Have a marvelous and safe 4th of July weekend…
