Happy Birthday Hope!

Remember my friend whose baby was born 9 weeks early on Mother's Day last year? Well... it's a year later and take a look at her now!

Happy Birthday, Hope! It was a joy to photograph your first birthday! :)

08 Senior - Anne

I absolutely loved my session with Anne - it was so crazy and windy and fun! We had to work hard at finding little pockets here and there where the wind wasn't blowing all over the place. Anne was a great sport, too - and her mom was a fantastic assistant to me, holding my reflector while I was shooting the photos. At least once, we were worried the reflector was going to take off like a kite, but she held on tight... and I think the results of the session were awesome!

Thanks for a great afternoon, Anne! Enjoy your preview. Your entire gallery will be up by the end of the weekend. :)

08 Senior Ricky

We had a great time during our session. We started out at the Academy, which was pretty cool... but then we found out about this awesome mural at UNLV that was painted by a friend of mine, Chance Gomez! I knew we had to take some shots over there - and I LOVE the way the photos turned out from that hallway.

Congrats to you on your graduation, Ricky! Enjoy your photos! :)

Order in the court!

The Prom Court, that is. CCSV's prom was last weekend.
Well, we tried for order anyway... but as you can see it went downhill pretty fast!

I had a great time, you guys! Your gallery is up... if you haven't received an email from me with access to the gallery, email me or call 219.8166!

2008 Senior - Carol

When I met Carol, I instantly fell in love with her charm and her sense of style. Oh... and that gorgeous smile of hers! We had a great session and she is a natural in front of the camera. I loved spending the afternoon with her and her mom!




Thanks for such a great session, Carol! I can't wait for you to see the rest of your gallery. Until then... enjoy the preview!

And of course... the boy band

Here's the whole group shot. LOVED how fun these turned out. I would love to see these printed poster size for each of the guys!

Thanks for such a great session, guys! Your galleries will be up sometime tonight!

2008 Senior - Tyler

I did a bunch of photos of Tyler with Dave at the beginning of the school year - and it's so cool to see him now, ready to graduate and head off to college. He is a very charming guy, as is clear by the photos...

One thing he regretted from his first shoot was not having his letterman jacket with him - this time we made sure to take some pictures with the jacket too.

Congratulations, Tyler!

2008 Senior - Jeremy

I met Jeremy last year when doing some portraits of his family. He is a funny, cool, down to earth guy. And football is his LIFE. His last family picture was in the height of football season - and he had a total mohawk! HA! I'm glad he toned it down a bit for his grad pictures.
Seriously though - this guy exudes coolness. He was all about the shades.
And of course, the football!
I heard there's some sort of tournament coming up... no doubt he'll be sporting the mohawk again... Good luck, Jeremy! :)

2008 Senior - Nick

Nick is a really cool guy. Loved his great smile - especially when I made him laugh or tried to embarrass him!
Next fall, he will be attending SUU. I thought it was so cool that he brought some school logowear to put on at the photoshoot.

Guess what sport he will be playing there?

Congrats to you, Nick! I had a great time at our session.

2008 Senior - Jeff

Another one of my recent senior guys is Jeff. I took senior pictures of his older brother Bob last year, and it is so exciting to do another member of their family. Jeff was really relaxed during the session and we had a lot of fun.

I loved this first image - I gave i a bit of an antique look because it seemed to lend itself to that feel.



Congratulations to you, Jeff!

2008 Senior - Dave

Whew! Sorry it's been so quiet over here but I have had my share of 2008 seniors the past couple of weeks. Everyone's taking advantage of the last minute photo special and I have been editing a ton of Class of 2008 peeps. Here's one of my recent ones, and one I am especially excited about - my very own cousin Dave!

Check out that wingspan! Seriously it is insane. He's 6'6" and plays baseball AND basketball. This guy's a hot commodity.

Congrats, Dave! A little over a month to go! You can make it!! :)

Hold on to the little things...

Tony has never been there for the birth of his children because he has always been delpoyed... but this time, he got to be there to meet his new son, Marcos.

He's getting ready to go again on the 21st of the month... I am so glad he has had these few weeks to get to know his little guy.

Congratulations, Connie and Tony! The rest of your gallery will be up at the end of the week.

Wanted to add just one more...

Sigh... I just love being able to capture a glimpse of a mother/son relationship. :)

Guess who

I got to meet last week?

He was such a doll... and I just loved the way mom and dad adored him...

So good to meet you, little one! Lisa, enjoy this little preview!
