Here is Leja pronnounced Leah

Will I ever catch up? :)

My senior yesterday

When I photographing boys...I'm totall outside my comfort zone! I just don't know what to do with them... LOL

Favorite Senior!

I had such a fun time with my senior! Isn't she just beautiful! She also came with me to my meetup and modeled for the other photographers too. She was so wonderful. I just love photographing her.

More Gerbils

Same settings as the last 2 posts.

My Autumn Fairy samples

My daughters surgery has been rescheduled so I figured I better get my Mini Session samples done early. The older girl came in to be my model and since her baby sister was sound asleep I asked mom if we could do some of the two of them. I'm not sure if I want to use these as samples since most newborns would take more work to get to sleep and I'm not sure if I could get that done during the mini session. Aren't they cute though?!

More Gerbils

I was trying to find ways to get the gerbils to engage me - or at the very least get into better positions for me to photograph them well and so I opened one of the "doors" and they peeked out and looked around. So as you can see both the white babies are fine - one was just missing for the last capture of them - I didn't realize it sounded like he was gone forever....lol

And my vote is to keep it going Ruth!

I'm still here....

ok we need to discuss if we want to keep this going or not! :) Please email me your feelings!

{forgive me}

Forgive me - life has gotten crazy and I am packing up a storm - we are looking to move with in the next few weeks to month. It's been in sane.

Here is a picture taken of the gerbils today. This is only 4 of them - we are missing one of the white babies.

our one nice day in the Northwest

I'm afraid it is never going to stop raining here!! Here is one from my senior session where we put the sister in.

Karter

One of my friends had a baby not to long a go, well about 6 months ago. Any way he is to adorable to pass up ;D And plus I can't just post one. So here are two.

Football can wait....

...my niece came to visit and she is WAY cuter than those silly boys!

from my bridal today

I have lots of others. I'm a little bummed because I blew out her dress in some. I wish I had someone to ask questions in the throws of battle... LOL

From Friday

I had a camera malfunction with my flash outside so we are going to redo the outside portion on Monday. I hate that! But they were really nice and understanding. Here is one from inside. I overexposed by two stops for this look.

Little Sweetheart

I really enjoyed my session with this adorable 2 month old. We did set changes and a couple different outfits and she slept twice (when she first got there and about an hour into the session) so I had a chance to get some cute snoozing shots. Her mom talked about bringing her back in when she is 6 months and I can hardly wait.

Outtake

My kids were not cooperating at all - as you can see ruth didn't want to look at the camera but at me instead....lol

It's Football Season!

I'm doing the program for the team again. I got asked to do this just as I was sending off the camera for a few adjustments, so that will have to wait a bit. I'm hoping (and praying) that it preforms :)

one from the fair

I'm just now getting around to posting images from the fair in July. Here is one for you all!

Bridal

This is one of my good friends that I took pictures of for her Bridal Session, we got up to Lookout Mountain at 5:45 am, that hurt, but the photos are totally worth it. I will post more as I get them done.

Day at the Museum

Last week, we went to the Museum of Nature and Science here in Denver. We all had a great time, the Dinosaurs were the favorite. But anything that had buttons was a close second. All available light, ss125 f 1.4 with 30mm 1.4.

Kittys and more kittys

Did you know that a cat can give birth twice in a 6-month period?
I didn't :0

Giant kitty is a sibling....not the parent!

BTW....we ship international.

1 week old

So here are my babies - we have 2 black, 2 white and one that is a nice creamy tan color with black eyes. They are one week old Today.

Castanon Family

This family was pretty funny none of them would smile they wanted serious pictures, but I eventually talked them into it :D . Anyway this is one of my favorites of that session

Last nights Bridal

Just sharing one for now, but there will be more to come. I really enjoyed shooting this sweet girl's bridals, she was very easy going and we even got to go outside for a few. I can't wait to share those, they include a beautiful rainbow!

Andrew

Sorry, I've been kind of lazy about posting lately. And tomorrow the camera goes into the shop so I will be relying on old files (that I need to work on anyway:)

Sibling Sunset

I shot a brother and sister that worship with us last night (sounds funny, I shot them haha). Anyway, it was hard to pose them since I'm so used to posing couples. Here is a sunset silhouette that I really liked.

At the Ballard Locks

Here are my friends from Denmark while we were out tourning the town. When I saw this I made them run up to the light to get in it... LOL

Gerbil Babies

SETTINGS: ISO: 100 AP: f/2.8 SS:1/60 Bounced flash used

I found 5 little babies this morning in Stewart & Shadows cage. They are all naked and are quite adorable. It was just what I needed to help curb my feelings of wanting another baby at this time.

2 appear to be white like their daddy Stewart and 2 look like they will be dark like their mommy Shadow AND one looks like it will be a combo of both - white all over except a nice black stripe like a raccoon across it's eyes and down it's side.

Yes, we plan on keeping them. The cage is big enough and I planned on making it bigger anyways so no worries on space. I wish it was so easy to just expand our own living space the way I can the gerbils.

almost there

I'm really close to having my beach scene done! I still have to work on the background to get it tighter and plant the plants in the background. These are my friends that are visiting me from Denmark.

From my wedding

I know it's been awhile - I have been busy working on these and haven't had a chance to photograph anything else.

Angel Baby

I just started uploading these from my session today and fell in love with this one. This sweet little one year old was such a great model, I will have a ton of proofs for her mom to go through, probably twice as many as normal.
