A new senior slideshow

This show (click the title above) of Class of 2007 graduate Kristin is awesome...if I do say so myself. It's a combination of some early shots, some high school events and senior year portraits. It's a little easier to pull together when it's your kid. :)

*Depending on the setting on YOUR computer, it will either start playing (streaming) or save as a temporary file. Hopefully it will just start playing!

Happy Birthday Cindy... my first Quinceanera

Cindy's Quincenara was held at the Pizzadili Vineyards, and despite the heatwave it was really a nice event. I'm familiar with what a Quincenara is, but until Cindy's, I'd never been to/photographed one. I hope to do many more. :)

Announcing my newest senior spokesmodel...

Jessica!
Great girl, great smile = great images!
I really enjoy these senior sessions. The tough part is editing down to a reasonable number. We end up with so many good ones, it can be overwhelming.
A note for any seniors (2008) or parents of seniors - it's not too late for you to save on your session fee. The current special is 50% the standard session fee (one location). That will end some time in September, so call today!

New Baby Portraits

This is Abbey with mom and dad. I've heard the term "Gerber baby" used over the years but I think Abbey is the first baby that ever truly fit the phrase.
When I first met the family and I saw Abbey's big baby blues, I knew there would be magic! Here are a few of the images, as well as their collage design.
Mom will soon be sporting a purse with some of the images on it. I don't recommend buying these unless you want attention everywhere you go!

The wedding of Amanda and Jas

Amanda and Jas were married this last Saturday: 7/7/07. This has to have been the most popular day for a wedding in a long time. As you can see, this was a nice mixture of cultures. Two outdoor ceremonies in the July heat...bit of a challenge to stay hydrated. Despite that, I really enjoy outdoor ceremonies because I can move around to get unique angles while still going unnoticed...for the most part.
These two were quite possibly the most relaxed, easygoing bride and groom I've worked with in a long time (no slight to all of my previous brides & grooms - you know I love you all!).

As always, click the title of this post to go to the slideshow.

I love iPods!

I'm a big Mac fan (as in Apple computers, not McDonald's burgers) and I do love the iPods. We now have five in our family.
So, I thought I'd add Summer to this modern theme. I'm providing images like these to my clients for their myspace sites. I feel bad though, because it makes all of their friends' myspace photos look bad. ;)

Senior Spokesmodel 2008

Meet Summer, one of my Class of 2008 spokesmodels.
These are just a few of the MANY fantastic images we got. Mom's head was spinning by the time we edited down to 50 images. I guess that's the way it goes when your daughter can't take a bad picture!

My summer special (no pun intended) for a free session has ended. Senior sessions booked from now till August 10 are 50% off - still a great deal!
