Pierce n' Breck

These two have grown up so much since last years' session! Pierce and Breck's cheerful banter kept us laughing the entire session. I really thing its become a competition of which one of the two can get me to laugh harder! I don't mind at all and have come to the conclusion that laughter some how makes you forget how cold you are... :)

katy

Tuesday afternoon was just as I figured it would be... cold and blustery. Katy didn't care, she was sporting a great hair style by SJK Studio. You guessed it, Katy will be appearing in the new design book "BIG". Wind whistled around us as we braved the cold - laughing about our "snotsicles" ... Katy had me cracking up with her hilarious terminology and practical jokes! Here's the highlights from the afternoon. Enjoy!

tess

Another perfect afternoon just like she ordered! Sunshine, curls and a big open field. Have I mentioned before how much I love photographing Tess?... Well its true! She is terrific! Amazing hair that I can't get enough of... We even survived multiple sneaky attacks from her new puppy (you may remember this little scoundrel from part one of her shoot - earlier this summer.) Tess and I had just crossed the creek... carefully... and I have hunched into my shooting mode (just about puppy level) - totally ignoring a little leaf rustling in the distance. I should have expected it. Shotsie splashed through the small stream, her paws covered in mud the next second as she lunged at Tess. We both screamed and dodged her playful attempts to ruin Tess' cute outfit. I didn't really care about staying clean (obviously, as I had been lying on the ground just a few shots earlier) but, was caught up in the excitement of the little adventure - screaming and jumping up and down all at once... The mayhem ended and we continued our shoot... Spotless!

the wild side

Wow, Emily! Your images are wild! I wasn't able to put my finger on it until just now but, I am quite sure of one thing .... If you were to combine Kate Moss, Jane from Tarzan and Meg Ryan... place all of them in the wilderness or, better yet, a jungle ... I'm pretty sure you would end up with images that look strikingly like yours! I absolutely enjoyed our afternoon together and was tickled by your fun, carefree personality and wild shoes! Compliments to SJK Studio for Emily's hair and makeup. Her images will be appearing in the new design book "BIG".

Shelly Jo

This fall has become a whirlwind of one amazing shoot after another! 5:45a.m. last Monday morning I realized that there is, in fact, a reason people get up at the crack of dawn. It might be to go to work of course, but I have to thing for some its worth it to see those first golden rays of sunrise... BEAUTIFUL! This was my first attempt at a sunrise shoot and I think (even as tired as I was) it was worth it! Shelly Jo dazzled us with her glam 50's look. Her blonde curls and red accents - totally perfect! .... And who could make Jeni's Ice Cream any better than it already is?!

shop till you drop

A long day of shopping ends perfectly ... if its ends with a cupcake. I am excited to share the next sequence of images for the 2010 cupcake girl calendar! Amanda's summery white sundress and lavender scarf are all compliments of Jennifer North, who never ceases to disappoint the fashionista in all of us! Check back soon to see images from our next model shoot with Shelly Jo!
