Carmichael Family

The Carmichael family I loved. They were so happy and had a good time. Their dogs were really cute, and one of them wasn't so sure he was happy about portraits. ha So we did some with and some without. Mom Janet is one of the volunteers at Snooty Giggles, and she worked really hard for this event. I was glad we had finally met in person, as everything had happened in email and phone calls. I love what I do, I meet families from this stand point of observation, working to relax and bring out who they are. As you can see this family is a joyful crew, and maybe that is in part to their dog rescue work. Giving back makes us better people. :-)

Berger's and more Berger's

So last weekend was my portrait event. An attempt to help out Snooty Giggles dog rescue (click and become a FAN!) as seeing all the dogs given help each year on their Facebook page just made me want to do something. The Berger and the Berger families were two who participated in the event. I had a GREAT time photographing them all. We worked fast, and I love the fun we had. It's amazing what can be done in a short time when everyone is ready and willing to make great portraits happen.












As can be clearly seen I work hard to make sure it's a FUN experience to have your family portraits made. I know how hard it can be on Mom, getting everyone dressed, and Dad's on board. Getting everyone to relax, laugh, and get into the fun is so important to get those wonderful real shots. I just loved the Berger/Berger session!

Laura-Kate 2011

Laura-Kate is one of those girls you think may not even exist anymore, especially if you have ever seen a so called reality tv show. She is strong, beautiful, confident, and respects her parents. She's a gem, inside and out. I had a wonderful time capturing her beauty, fun, humor, as well as intelligence! She's the girl you pray your son is good enough to marry, but hopefully only after she's conquered the world. ;-)

Harris Family

The Harris Family they have an amazing story of courage, heart ache, and triumph, you can read about it on their blog. Enjoy their recent family portraits.








I love being able to document the mile stones. There is much to be said  with this family beyond what my photographs can capture, and it's not often I say such things. 

Jazmins Bridals in Centennial Park

So yes, I'm way behind on my blogging. Even though you've probably seen Jaz's animoto I wanted to share my top picks from her bridals. We had a fun, and hard working time getting these images. I love the work that goes into making a great portrait, also though the unexpected challenges because every time something new and beautiful can happen. I think we found some of those great moments that day. I love her session.
