This little sweetheart was such a pleasure to photograph. Her Mommy Crystal is a regular client of mine. Here is one of my favorite photos from her session.

Senior Portrait sessions 2010

Senior portrait season has officially begun! With a few sessions behind me and a bunch still coming up, I thought it may be nice to show a few samples and thank those who have already been here.

My featured senior this week is Cory. Cory attends Allen Central High School.

It was such a pleasure working with this young man. He has a wonderful personality and I must say that I laughed through our entire shoot.

Thanks Cory for allowing me to do your senior shoot, I enjoyed having you and your family in my studio, I had a blast and am so pleased that you were happy with your pictures.

You can see more of Cory's pictures in my senior gallery.

Senior Portrait time (featuring Kristin Childers)

It's that time of the year again...Senior Portrait time!

Kristin came to me this summer needing Senior portraits. I had done Kristin's sisters senior pictures back in 2002 and I'm very happy to have them as returning customers.
Kristin was a joy to work with. She has such natural beauty and an awesome personality to go along with it. Her Mom is very sweet too..I truly appreciate her holding up that big reflector for me! I really enjoyed talking with both of them during their visit.

Despite the heat and beaming sun, we had lots of fun as we worked on the outdoor portion of our session. Jim and I recently added a pond to our property to use for pictures but unfortunately, the grass wasn't growing quite the way I had hoped and I didn't get to do a couple of the shots I had planned during our outdoor session. The barn (an oldie but goody) proved to be the perfect spot for what she was wearing.

We got lots of great pictures of Kristin. I'm greatful to have her as a client and look forward to doing more pictures for her in the future.

If you or someone you know needs senior pictures please book your sessions as soon as possible. Space is very limited and is filling up quickly. With both studios going, we only have space to book about 30 senior portrait sessions this season. Call now and have your visa or mastercard ready to reserve your session. (606)285-9100 or (606)432-1200.

Connor & Kyndal

Wow, Isn't it amazing! Twins! Connor and Kyndal are only about five weeks old. They are two of the most precious little babies in the world. It was a blessing to get to hold and cuddle these little ones. And their parents....the sweetest and most patient in the world. I must say that they were very patient with me as I worked with their babies. If they are reading this...God bless you for being so patient....that satin was killer! Slipping and sliding babies everywhere! LOL!

Like most newborn sessions, this one started out with a feeding and diaper change. Now keep in mind that a newborn session is one of the most challenging sessions one can do...Now times that by two. The key is to get them to do what you want at the same exact time... well, not quite. Since twins are not very common, I don't get to photograph them very often. Needless to say I came across a few obstacles and learned that Anne Geddes makes it look way to easy.

It took me a couple of hours and about 70 photos to get what I wanted, after narrowing down the selection to about 20 images to present to the parents, I created the tear jerker slide show. The parents were very happy with their portraits and I can say that I am very proud to have them as regular customers as part of our Baby Plan Program. I look forward to watching Connor and Kyndal grow. I'm excited about our future sessions. And since they are my first twins to sign on to my baby plan, I am already making plans for their future sessions.
