Baby R

How lucky was I that some friends from back home had their baby while I was there?!  AND they let me invade their beautiful home so I could photograph him?   To be honest I can’t say which I was more excited about–seeing their brand new baby boy or their house renovations!  Does that make me a bad person?  Maybe you don’t understand but this girl has great style!  Their house was a mix of modern and vintage pieces, all so cleverly put together.  Congrats to a chill and beautiful family and their latest modern piece!

Lil’ Peanut Graduates {teens + seniors}

Photo shoots with our little sister have always been a lot of fun but this one was a bigger deal…she was graduating from high school and was going to be the valedictorian, no less!   We couldn’t be more proud! Being the youngest of 7 children, she has definitely learned to hold her own.  No one dare cross her with her saucy and sarcastic attitude and looks of death.  Yes, we have taught you well little one!  It was so fun to come home and raid her closet, borrow her music, get into deep debates about who rocked the last season of Project Runway and all the while eating endless bags of Old Dutch potato chips.
As a graduation gift we wanted to pass on to you some words of wisdom that we hope will help you move forward in the REAL world.
1..Toonie Tuesday does not apply in the USA.  dang KFC!
2..Potato chips are not a vegetable.
3..The best way to save money is to forget who you borrowed it from.
4..Werewolves and vampires are not realistic choices for a life mate.
5..Blue and green should never be seen, only in a washing machine.
Congrats!
Here are our favorites of the beautiful graduate…

Emily Elizabeth {teens + seniors}

When I think of Emily I think of Archie comics and date nights with my husband!  This girl has boundless amounts of energy, something you need to babysit my boys!  But give her an Archie and nothing can get her moving…hahaha…not that I blame her.  Archie’s are a literary staple!

I’ve been a fan of Justin since I watched his hilarious performance of Mushu in the musical production ‘Mulan’.  It was enjoyable to photograph this talented young man. It’s nice to see such a well-rounded kid…respectful, smart and a gifted athlete.

Pretty smart {teens + seniors}

For this shoot I got to head over to the Beale Airforce Base, which was a new adventure for me. Even though we spent most of our time avoiding rattlesnake holes and mosquitos, my model was a trooper! I was pleased to get to know Ashley and hear her mature outlook on her future.  Sorry boys…this beauty is more interested in fulfilling her dream of becoming a surgeon!  Who says you can’t be beautiful AND brainy?
