Kristina and her mom Michelle are coming into the studio today to view the senior portraits I shot for her last Friday. I can't wait! I had a blast with Kristina at the park. She is perfectly beautiful in every way. When she came in for her consultation she expressed that she loved the outdoors, lots of color and flowers. I think we incorporated all of that in this session. I loved her energy and bright personality.
Funny thing is like I said earlier I never really set out to photograph seniors but I am really enjoying it.
Here are a few of my favorites from Kristina's session.

The next few blogs are all about HS Seniors.
I have been having a blast photographing these amazing teenagers. I love hearing about where they are going to collage and what there interests are. This video is of Lauren - she is so fantastic. She wanted something a little different than what all of her friends were doing. We went to a great location with old buildings and great light. I shot a couple of images of her and her brother for mom. Sometimes I am in my own mind with one plan of what I want to do and then my senior will suggest something I hadn't thought of and it really adds to the session.
I will be posting some more of these sessions in the next week.
Many of you have asked about my images and experiences in Uganda and since this blog did not save the posts from the previous one I will back track and blog about Africa too.
Thanks for reading.... it means a lot!
Well - it's all new.... My new blog is a preview of what the new website will look like. I am really excited to launch the new studio blog and website with our fresh updated look.
I guess the real issue is keeping current with the blog and posting as often as possible. I figured if I can keep up with facebook then I can do this.
Funny thing is I'm not sure people want to read my blog and do I have anything interesting enough to say on a regular basis. I will do my best to keep it current, fresh and interesting.
This week is off to a great start... I gave a full day program to the Western States Convention on Monday and really had a blast with them. They were one of the most down to earth groups with a real flair for great hospitality. I guess there were about 175 photographers and it felt like one big family. I stayed for the Presidents awards ceremony and was truly impressed with the quality of the images that were presented.
Returning home to flowers and dinner my wonderful husband made was a great treat. Thursday at sunset marks the end of lent and after almost 7 weeks without red wine my favorite friends are hosting a bread and wine dinner for me.... I can hardly wait to enjoy a beautiful glass of wine and spend time with the people who supported my lent efforts.
To continue with this great week... Friday is my 39th birthday (yes I say that proudly)! I am looking forward to this last year of my thirties, I remember back in 1978 saying to my friends "in the year 2010 I will be 40.... at that time who actually believed 2010 was ever going to come...
...and to wrap the week up Easter Sunday will once again be celebrated with family and friends.
Wishing all of you a wonderful Easter or Passover week!

Run Tyler run! Early on a Saturday morning while training at the gym, young Tyler whose legs are twice the length of mine was trailing behind me in sprinting exercises. I of course called him out on this embarrassment. How could you let an almost 40 year old, four foot eleven woman out run a more than six foot tall, 17 year old. Needless to say I never out ran Tyler again.
