hasta la vista ::: photographer and photoshop mentor

We’re blowing this popsicle stand for the next two weeks! Off to enjoy surf, sand, sun, family, friends and 3000 miles in the truck with our two perfect ANGELS. (power of positive thinking!) All correspondence will be returned on the week of the 30th. Thanks Jagers for being such awesome neighbors, house sitters and puppy care takers. You guys are awesome! Cheers!

sullen + surreal ::: wyoming senior portait photographer

Hands down, these were the funnest images I have shot and edited to date. Reese wanted the majority of his senior photos to be moody, dark, surreal and intense. …… RIGHT up my alley! It was incredibly inspiring to work with Reese, as he is his own person. He’s an individual with a definitive style, perspective and creative bent. We incorporated his bass, as he is a self-taught musician and composer who plans to pursue his music further after high school. Inspired by that, I looked at many of the edits in terms of possible album covers. Hey, I’ll take inspiration where I can!

Reese and Maralee, I hope this is what you had in mind! I truly appreciate you traveling from my home town clear to this neck of the woods for your session.

my beauty ::: kids portraits sheridan wyoming

My lady turned 3 today. Yes, my mind is spinning at the realization that she is no longer my small baby, but 3 going on 13. With an affinity for makeup, nail polish, pretty clothes and having her hair done up in curlers, she is my life sized doll who is so fun to spiffy up and take pretty pictures of.

She has forever changed me. Her tantrums are eclipsed by her vibrant personality and sweet heart. Oh, how I adore her. With the softest, most impeccable skin and pouty lips and her eyes of cocoa brown, I look at her and marvel that this darling life sprang from me. I lose myself in her daily. In her hearty giggle and wrinkle of her nose I am enveloped. Oh yes, she tries us daily, then turns right around and causes my heart to explode the next minute with her tenderness. With spunk and fortitude like I’ve never know in a 3 year old, this one surprises me, challenges me, impresses me and makes me the proudest mama there ever was. She’s beautiful and bossy and brazen. I thank the Lord for entrusting her to us. Here’s to my heart and soul at the tender age of 3.
