Just a reminder that the deadline for entries into our giveaway is coming up at the end of the month.  Scroll down to the Sept. 6 post for more details (or click on the recent post “Holiday Giveaway” on the sidebar to the right).  Here’s an image of the loot! 

Could I have a better job?  I feel so blessed to spend my time at “work” at cool locations with such kind and fun clients.  And it doesn’t hurt when they are beautiful, too!  Katrina’s entourage included her mom, Glenda, and her friend Megan (see her photos a few posts down), both of whom slaved away lugging equipment and assisting.  We had a ton of fun, but I think Megan was a little disappointed that there wasn’t more of a threat to Katrina’s life to capture great images (something about her sister making her pose for a photograph barefoot in the snow for the sake of art?!?!?)  Anyway, I hope I captured Katrina’s personality–sweet and innocent all the way!

Yet another beautiful senior girl!  We were lucky enough to have access to Crista’s uncle’s gorgeous back yard, complete with fountain.  Her mom, Suzanne, did a great job reflecting and diffusing and her dad showed up and “supervised” while havin’ a nice cold Corona (which he didn’t share, I might add )  Crista was extremely versatile, so we had lots of different looks to choose from.  We headed back to the studio to finish up with some fun headshots.  As always, I have lots of favorites…here are a few. 

Megan was so easy to photograph–the camera loves her!  We had such a blast with her entourage–her mom, Nancy, and friend, Katrina (whose session is coming up soon on the blog!)  Everyone threw in their ideas and we got some great shots with some beautiful lighting and unique, fun backgrounds.  Look at those eyes and that smile…doesn’t she remind you of Denise Richards?

Here’s another fun senior session, this time with Casey.  He was a trooper, sticking out the entire 2 hour session with me and his mom, Becky.  Again, another mom we put to work!  I love it when moms have ideas about posing, and Becky had some great ones.   Some of my faves…again, Casey does smile, too, but these serious ones are just killer!

Oh, wait, that was the name of a Whoopie Goldberg movie I saw once.  This is Corinna, and she was so much fun to photograph.  Corinna’s mom, Tina, came with and we put her to work, she was a great help.  We found lots of great backgrounds out wandering around.  Corinna has so many different looks, so each of her photos is uniquely her.  She has a beautiful smile, and she smiles a lot, but I always seem to like the more dramatic serious looks.  Here are some of my faves from our session.

Exciting news…we are dying to give something away!!!!  Anyone who is a subscriber to our blog by October 1, 2007 will be entered into a drawing to win a silver-toned photo keyring, one of our favorite pieces from our jewelry collection.  You may choose to keep the keyring for yourself, using a picture from a previous or future session.  Or, if you are a friend or relative of one of our clients and haven’t had your own session, you may give it as a gift to someone who has.  So spread the word, get your friends and family to subscribe so they can win for you!
