My heart beats a bit

I have stepped back from my photography as my life as taken me in different directions.  I haven't stopped, just slowed down. And seeing this shoot--my heart starting pounding a bit, I forgot how much I love it.  When I get those candid moments--the open mouth laugh, the slightly blurred shot, the things that remind me that God gave me a gift to be able to do something creative, because art is not my thing, but this is.  Maybe I will direct myself back here, because this light, these smiles and this capture in time is what I deeply love.

Fairy Forest

There is a hidden fairy like forest by the lake.  And this gorgeous girl was a blast to shoot there.  Finding green in the AZ desert is a dream come true.

Negative space

Negative space and color.   Sometimes work is play.

That Dreamland in the middle of the city

Take an oasis in the middle of a desert city, a gorgeous blonde with a beautiful smile and great laugh, add in the right patterns and colors in wardrobe, and don't forget the hat--and you have . . . well . . . this.  And it's rad.

A walk in Dreamland

My niece and I took a walk in dreamland. In an oasis in the middle of the city. And I brought my magic camera. More of her senior pics to come.

 

Small Town Girl

I was able to shoot my nieces senior pictures in my hometown, Heber, AZ. My neighbor has an old barn and I had never realized how cool it was until she wanted to shoot with a horse, and borrowed his. Um, I will be going back. Cuz--how cute is she?! and how cool are these? !

Sugar

This girl.  So sweet. And so talented.

Golden smile

This girl has a golden smile--and I love her to death.

Nice kid

You know sometimes when you know a teenager next door or at church and you find yourself saying "now that's a nice kid". That is this boy. And I think the pictures bring it through.

The Natural

The wind was blowing on the day of the shoot. And it can work for you or against you. And for this girl. It worked. She was such a natural and the wind would blow her hair in just the right way--it was fantastic. Check these.
