The Money Shot
By · CommentsFun Photo Friday
The Money Shot is simply an image just screams “this is the one”. This just pulled on my heartstrings the moment I saw it, my favorite one out of the session. I am glad mom liked it too. Be careful not to overcoach children, they are brilliant on their own.
Working with Rabbits
By · CommentsFun Photo Friday
Hard to believe that this is the first pet rabbit I have photographed with a high school senior. I have worked with a lot of animals and as common as rabbits are, this is my first one with a senior. You probably can’t tell that her vintage coat is a rabbit too! I expected a rabbit to be as difficult as a cat but really this one was quite calm and relaxed.
Photographing with Fans

Fun with Fans
I just love using a fan for senior portraits. I use it very subtly sometimes. Other times not so subtle. As I was preparing files for this young lady, I kept going back to this image over and over. She has a lot of knock out images, selection day was difficult but in a fun way.
Signature Art Print-Cardboard Lock
By · CommentsFun Photo Friday from the Southwest
Seeing this image makes me yearn for the southwest. So many doors to pick from in the Santa Fe shopping yards. Too many to pick from and hard to haul home, so photographs will have to do. Don’t you love the lock?

Shot right in the studio’s perenial garden, a single iris is a simple and elegant statement. A few techniques have been applied to make this a Signature Art Print ready to hang on your wall.
Biggest Cake Demo Ever
By · CommentsFun Photo Friday
This is the biggest cake demolition I have ever photographed! His dad and I were kind of hoping to enjoy a piece of cake when we were all done. Usually I get to do that, why else do I enjoy birthday cake photos so much? Not this time. This one year old had a great time playing with his. He did not really eat much of it, he really liked pressing his hands into it better.
New Filly

This little foal is around 36 hours old. It was born at the facility I keep one of my horses at. I have been checking on this mare for weeks now, wanting to see the foal as new as possible. I made sure I had a camera in the car and I peeked at her everyday. I have not ever gotten to see a foal this young in person.
I had to shoot through the bars of the stall since the Momma is protective and she kept blocking my view. But eventually I got to see the entire foal. Cute yuh?

A Boy and His Dog
By · CommentsFun Photo Friday
Q, the studio mascot, is actually my dog who has been coming to the studio since he was a pup. Q knows his “job” graciously entertaining children, posing, and hanging out. This young man does not have a dog…yet. It was so sweet watching them interact. T will make some dog happy someday as he was very good with Q. Counting strawberries and discussing chocolate chip cookies kept them busy and made me hungry.
Spilled Cake
By · CommentsFun Photo Friday
I do enjoy birthday cake photos! I never know what is going to happen. This is the first cake that hit the floor. Well a wedding cake at a reception once, but that is another story all together. The cake survived well enough for a lot more images.
My crying little friend got better fast! This is such a wonderful moment. The interaction between the twins was fantastic.
