Alex is from Lubbock and came down today for her senior session. Here is one from her session. She is glowing and looks so stunning in this image. More favorites to share later. Thanks Alex for a fun morning!
Saturday I hung out with the McWilliams family. This is a super sweet family I met at Byron and Lindsay's wedding back in August. Lauren (below) is Byron's sister. It was nice seeing Lindsay and Sassy too!
Let me just say if I looked like this when I was a senior, or even now, then I would be living on cloud 9. I would first have to get a tan though :) This beautiful girl is drop dead gorgeous. And ya know what she told me? She said she wasn't very photogenic! Say what!! I am gonna strongly disagree with that one.
I'm headed to Lubbock for a family session with the McWilliams, and then a wedding! Here is what I've been doing this week.
I had a family session for the Blumers. I love this family!
Then a session with the beautiful Georgina...
And yesterday a session with beautiful Jenna...
Beautiful world, meet beautiful girl.
Gab's senior session is not your typical senior session. I had a concept for her. She is unique, and I wanted to give her something different.Theme: An Artist (because that is what Gab does) She and I together (along with some of Benson's help) put together the newspaper backdrop. I wanted to include some bright colors to reflect her bright and spunky personality Also, in search for a bouquet, I decided to do something unique and went with radishes. I love Gab's clothing choices. She was her own stylist. And a great one at that!
I SO wish I had legs like Brooklyn. God was good to her :) She is a beautiful girl and incredibly awesome. I love her relaxed way of thinking of her plans for the future. She will be graduating this year! Woohoo! Oh, and I want her shoes.
It is time to order senior cards. These can be used for your announcements or graduation party. I have several options to choose from for guys and girls. Cards start at $60 for a pack of 25 Flat cards with front and back Available in semi-gloss or recycled paper
Kew is such an awesome girl. She has lots going for her including being a theater and music major when she goes to college next year.We took this one on the stage where Les Miserables was recently performed by the Portales high school theater department. (one of my FAVORITE broadway plays)
Sweet Stephany was the lucky girl who won the free senior session. She is a sweetheart with dreams, and seems to always have a smile on her face. I loved working with Stephany and creating something for her and her family that they can remember forever. Here are the favorites...
Senior sessions are by far one of my most favorites. I'm just sayin'. Laura's family came along for her senior session, and I loved that. I love it when the family keeps it real and gives support. We did her session in good 'ol Farwell, Tx. I love that little town :)Here are the favorites from her session...
This is one of my favorite shots to date. It says, free, let loose, have fun and just dance. If I weren't so tired, I would just dance.Night night.
Can I just say that I LOVE senior sessions. Love love love them! Here are two of the seniors I had sessions with on Tuesday.We went to locations I don't normally go to or have never been to before. My thought process was to go outside the box, work from all angles and not to mention, have fun. I forgot my music for Tiffani's session, but it was okay because that girl didn't need music to loosen up. She was so fun and energetic and I laughed and had a blast. And with Jarod's session I was able to capture my favorite light.
Gab's session aloud me to be more creative than normal with senior sessions. We thought outside the box. I have lots of favorites I want to share with you, and I'll be doing them in different groups. Here is another of Gab, the artist.Click here to see the first post of instax film
Last night Ben gave Benson a powdered donut and the boy loved it. We didn't know how much until bath time. Ben was singing, and Benson was non-stop dancing for about 10 minutes. Taking breaks in between to shovel water through his legs while standing, and then to hold on the the bar in the tub to do a stomp dance. It was some of the best entrainment I've ever witnessed. Crying to the point of tears and I even got it on video. Can't show it to the public though because it contains a little nudity :)
And then today, he put on his helmet, and instantly wanted to ride is tricycle. I love that he pairs the two together. That little brain of his is ticking away with smartness.
I started looking back on all of my 2009 weddings and sessions and I just want to say a HUGE thank you to all of my clients and friends who supported me in 2009. I've grabbed some 30 plus favorites, but I want you to know that I have 100s. I would list all of them, but the dishes in the sink are calling my name and they HAVE to get done :)Enjoy some of my favorites from 2009 and again, thank you all so much for a blessed year.
