Shelby | 2010 Senior

On Saturday I met with another super-fantabulous 2010 senior.  I really enjoyed meeting Shelby (and her mom!) and photographing her.  We trekked around Big Spring Park, hit some of my favorite downtown spots, and finished up by the RR tracks (I use the non-active tracks).  And we had (finally) gorgeous weather!!

For once the wind was working with us. :)

Don’t you just love how her green shirt really accentuates her beautiful eyes.

Can I just admit that I *squealed* when I saw Shelby’s bright, red high heels?!  Oh to have gorgeous long legs like that … sigh …

Ali | 2010 Senior

Ali’s senior session was actually scheduled for last fall, but we had to postpone it due to the weather.  We ended up pushing it back until spring, since we were already at the end of the fall foliage season anyway.  I’d hoped we’d have *something* blooming but luck was not with us.  As I was driving up Green Mt. to meet Ali for her session last week, there was a large, dark cloud hovering in the distance.  I kept hoping it wasn’t hanging over Green Mt., but of course it was.  Other than a couple of raindrops before we got started, the weather ended up working perfectly.  I love a cloudy day when there’s a nice soft light peeking through the clouds.

I loved working with Ali … she was so easy going with a natural beauty and a gorgeous smile. :)

Check out Ali’s gorgeous mane of hair!

Madisen | 2010 Senior

First, a few side notes.  Spring Break was a busy week, so be sure to tune in over the next few days for a the rest of my sneak-peek-a-palooza!  Also, I announced the first annual Pre-Prom mini sessions on Friday evening … and they filled up within hours, so I added a fourth spot … which also filled up immediately.  These Pre-Prom mini sessions are exclusive to my senior clients, as a way of saying thank you for your business.  I’m so excited about these and hope to make them an annual event.

Also coming soon, I’ll be announcing the details of a new series of limited edition “Senior Friends” mini sessions.  This will give you and your friends one more opportunity to get together as a group and capture some memories before you head off to college.  You’ll be able to split the specially priced session fee and each receive a couple of keepsake photographs to mark the event.  Stay tuned!

And now, on with the first sneak peek!

When I met Madisen for her senior session last week during spring break, we’d hoped to have some, well, spring-like weather.  Unfortunately we got cooler temps and cloudy skies instead.  That’s ok though, I can still work with cloudy and Madisen was a really good sport about the cold weather.   Madisen was a lot of fun to work with and every bit as sweet as she is beautiful. :)   Enjoy your sneak peek!

I forgot to add a little behind-the-scenes story to Madisen’s session.  See that cute red dress she’s wearing?  Well she also had the most adorable floral print shoes on.  And when I asked her if she’d mind taking her shoes off for a few shots, she was all for it.  Course we didn’t expect one of her shoes to fall into the water and float away!  Luckily we were able to catch the run-away shoe and rescue it. :)

Coming Soon | A Preview

Just like clock-work, every year between January and March, I get the urge to do some spring cleaning.  Not the kind of spring cleaning most people do, certainly not [gasp] house cleaning.  No, for me its website spring cleaning!  You may have noticed that while I blog most of my sessions (eventually), I *rarely* update my main website.  Have you looked at it lately?  Its sadly out of date.  I photographed a slew of 2010 seniors but most of those happened after last year’s website overhaul.  See what a vicious little circle it is?!  I tend to only update my main site about once a year, so its definitely that time again.

I’ve been hard at work on a new website, completely overhauled, updated, reworked, and refreshed.  Its *almost* done, just putting some finishing touches on it, then I’ll unveil it in the coming weeks.  And when I do, expect some kind of giveaway  just for the heck of it (I’m not above bribery).  Oh and good news if you’re on a slower internet connection, the new site will have a mirror HTML site for you, too.  And as if that isn’t enough … an super-cool new iphone version is coming too.

I’ve made a couple of small changes to my product offerings this year, so be sure to check back for some product shots of my new, fabulous, and ever-so-modern session album.  I am seriously in *love* with it and I know you will be too.

Also, 2010 Senior clients … be watching your inbox for something extra special and ultra-top-secret.

Oh and 2011 Seniors … I’ve still got a few openings left for Senior Models.  Don’t wait too long to apply, I’ll be closing applications next month.

Here’s a little sneak-peek screen cap of the new website … enjoy!  :)
