Oregon Vacation

We went to Oregon this past weekend to visit family. While we were there I took these shots... one of my handsome hubby, and the other of my darling daughter. I love them.



We had just put lotion all over her... including her hair. It stayed like this for quite a while.

{b} senior shots

{b} and his family are neighbors of ours. His parents came over a few days ago needing some senior shots of him. Twenty minutes later we were on our way to the state park...
These are some of the shots from our little mini- session:

Saturday in the Park...

I love shooting families... and this was a great little family to shoot.



Little "B" is 2 and such a cutie!!







He's such a good big brother to baby "A"...



who was so small!! I love his little baby stretch here...



He wasn't exactly happy to leave his mama's arms...





Or his daddy's for that matter...

Sneak Peek

I couldn't help but post this pic from the shoot this morning!



I'm so excited for the rest of these!!

Marcus, Vashti, & Olivia

This weekend I had the opportunity to shoot this beautiful family.... here's a little peek into our session:

Black and Whites

I was checking out some things on DPS (digital photography school) and found this article by Natalie Norton. It's got some great info about converting photos to black and whites.

I tried it out on this picture of Maria.... here it is in color, which I love:



Here it is converted into B&W:



and here it is a little warmed up:



I'm a fan of them all.... but that could be because I'm just a little bit biased.
What do you guys think? Do you have a favorite?

Easter Photos

I set up shop this morning and took some Easter photos of my darling little girl. Here are a few of my favorites from our little session:
