Autumn & Jason ~ Belly Pics

Posted on October 23, 2008

Autumn is a friend from church and is expecting her first, a baby boy. :) I am hosting a baby shower for her this weekend and wanted to get some belly pics of her to use as decorations. Any excuse for a shoot, right? :) The light was amazing and Jason and Autumn introduced me to some really great locations. We even went to the place that they got married at and took some maternity pictures there…. talk about significance. :) Can’t wait to meet baby boy, Autumn!!

The Stars and Stripes…

Posted on October 22, 2008

UPDATE: You can view Kathy and Mike’s slideshow HERE.

No, this is not a political post. The stars I am referring to are the following 4 people (and canine): Kathy, Mike, Owen and Noah. And the stripes are just, well, you will just have see for yourself. :) What a fun family and fun shoot this was! Noah, the dog, and Owen, the baby, competitively competed for “best of show” and I have to say they tied. :) What can I say? I am a sucker for both! I mean come on - look at them!!!!

A recent belly shoot is coming soon as well!

Another teaser….

Posted on October 17, 2008

I know, I know… I am being really delinquent in getting the Gwen & Brian pics up in their entirety. I promise… they are coming soon! Slideshow too! For now, you can get an inside peak as to what I deal with in the editing process.

Sometimes I see a killer image… one that just jumps out at me and I want to see it enhanced any way I can. I try black and white…. and love it. I give it a vintage look and feel… and love it. I add some texture… and love it. And in the end, I am stuck with 5 different “looks” of the same image… and I can’t for the life of me choose which is “best.” So I include them all in the galleries and let the bride and groom hash it out. Maybe they don’t like any of them. :) Oh well…. I enjoy the process tremendously.

* yes, I know Gwen’s face isn’t showing and that many would prefer that…. but i still love this shot, and think it is very emotive.*

Thats how I feel about these albums…. This is Susan & Greg’s album in the flesh. Drink it in. I have been waiting to post this to the blog until Susan and Greg received their album. So without further yapping…

First of all, the packaging…. NICE.

 

This is what we mean by “no gutter.” The book lays flat. 

And you do not lose any of the picture in the middle of the spread. 

Just an overall REALLY NICE book. The Italian leather cover is smooth and creamy. Yum.

Brian and Gwendolyn…. the preview

Posted on October 7, 2008

Ok, well, here is just a tasty sample of Brian and Gwendolyn’s (isn’t that such a cool name?)  big, beautiful day in Huntington, Indiana! These will have to tide you over for a while so I can edit the rest of their photos and get a slideshow up and running soon. :) A huge thanks to Christen Bordenkircher for her awesome help in second shooting with me! Christen, it was such a pleasure to work with you- thanks so much!!

Brian and Gwendolyn… I hope you have a great time on your honeymoon and I hope your happiest days together are still to come! Blessings to you guys and thanks for allowing me to be a part of your special day.:)

I enjoyed the trip out to the midwest very much…. the leaves were starting to change and the air was cool and crisp. Although things are starting to cool off here in Phoenix, it is still warm and the cacti and palm trees aren’t really giving us the fall vibe, ya know? I enjoyed many a winding, country drive through northern Indiana this past weekend. It was refreshing and invigorating to see small town America and get a feel for the simple life again.

Saint Mary Catholic Church, Huntington Indiana… a view of the beautiful stained glass windows through the eyes of a harp.
