while i was in texas earlier this summer, i had the opportunity to photograph these three sisters. it was a quick shoot with only a few photos as the sun was setting on my last night there. i have to say, i absolutely love the way they turned out and hope their family enjoys them even more!

meet amber, my sister-in-law’s younger sister. she was so much fun to photograph, with all her outfits and ideas and poses! and she’s absolutely beautiful!

i recently photographed this senior, ryan. ryan is actually a close family friend, and i’ve known him since he was very little when he used to play with my younger brother. now, i’m photographing him, about ready to start his senior year.

My best friend, Melissa, was married this spring in Destin, Florida. I was honored to be her maid of honor and to also capture photos of her before and after the wedding.

i shot an engagement session not too long ago! here’s a sneak peek — more to come!

it’s been a while since i posted here. been unsure lately if i am happy with this space. in the end of november, i got the idea that i was going to redo this area. my thoughts were to move these kinds of “posts” and projects to flickr and make this space more of a collection of portraits. this came about because i took engagement photos and family photos while i was visiting family over thanksgiving holiday. i will also be taking some wedding photos, hopefully do a maternity session and maybe even a senior session soon. i want to have a place to build a “portfolio” that is still low key and manageable for me at the point i am in. not sure when that change will come about. i think it will happen. hopefully in the spring or so. it’s a bit overwhelming, and so that would be the exact reason i haven’t been around.

i thought i’d drop by and say hi though and share the project that i started with the new year. i am doing the 365 project - photo a day, with a twist. i’m only taking photos with my iphone camera!! i’m using  the shakeitphoto app and getting these “vintage”-y photos, which i love! here are four… for more, click on over to my photo a day blog here or my flickr account. and leave any sweet thoughts you have!! i need all the cheerleaders i can get :)
