:: Proofing Frenzy - Take 10 ::

Who said high school photos need to be boring? Meet this super fun high school senior that was up for anything..... Even sitting next to a bear! She's so stunningly beautiful and smart. I can see that she'll go very far in whatever she does.

We are the music-makers,
and we are the dreamers
of dreams. We are the
movers and shakers of the
world forever, it seems.

:: Proofing Frenzy - Take 9 ::

I was so excited to do this session because I was going to get to see this little boy again. For a long time I imagined what he looked like now as a little boy and not as a baby. See, the last time I photographed him he was TWO weeks old!! He looks exactly how I imagined him to be; playful, curious, active, happy and SUPER handsome! oh, and he still has a lot of hair just like he did when he was a baby.

When we finished our session, I remembered I had in my car a canvas I've been using as a sample on my ordering appointments. MANY of you have seen it before :o). That canvas was made with one of the photos of him as a baby. We pulled it out of my car and had him hold it for one last shot. I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite shots of his session. How adorable is this?! (note: the canvas size is 18X24 in case you're wondering)

:: Proofing Frenzy - Take 8 ::

Okay, I'm back to my regular programming on frenzy proofing (I was working on my other frenzy state: Holiday Cards!).

This session was perfect for black and white images. When I do the sessions in my client’s home, it's all about finding the light. So if you hire me, be prepared for me to open blinds, curtains, move furniture, etc. That’s what I did here :o). I’m sure they didn’t mind since I was able to capture gorgeous photos of their baby girl and beautiful family moments. This baby was such a good baby! I Love how expressive her eyes are!

If I have an opportunity, I always photograph the 'Fido' of the house (see below). I just LOVE dogs! What about cats you may ask? Well, I'm allergic to them so I haven't had a chance to develop the love they deserve. However, I think they would be perfect models because they don't move and they just sit there! he he!

Minis were a hit!

Today's mini sessions were very successful! I can't believe how much fun I had meeting new people and photographing them. I had 10 minis total. Everything ran so smoothly thanks to Lisa at Chicky Bella. Everybody was on time, happy, and ALL, I mean, ALL of the families were just plain gorgeous!

I can't wait to proof these sessions and post them here! Now I'm ready to have my glass of wine so that I can relax and maybe go to bed early :o)

Thanks to all of you that came down to Gilbert today for the mini sessions. You were ALL awesome!!!

Nite, nite!
