This is Emma!

On this past Sunday I took some high school senior portraits of Emma. My lil sister Kathy is in town and she went with me. It was a great shoot! First of all Emma has an older sister named Candra in which I shot her wedding back in October of 2007(if you have been in my office she is the beautiful blond with the great eyes on my wall). Wendy, Emma's mom, gave me a call to see if I did senior portraits. Of course I said "yes" and the rest is history. Can I just say that Wendy has some beautiful daughters. Just look at Emma, what a stunning young lady. We decided to go to the antique district in Glendale, what great location. Since my sister Kathy went with me on the shoot, I had her go through the images once I was done working them and pick out her favorites. I thought it would be fun to see if she picked the same ones as I would.. NOT. Isn't that funny. At first I was looking over her shoulder and saying "what about that one". Well I stopped and let her be and these are the ones Kathy picked.
This neat old bench was my sister's idea. Turned out to be some of my favorites!
This next close up of Emma's face has that 1973 filter on it. My friend Tracy wanted to see how it looked on an image that was closeup .
I just had to add a few more that deserve to be considered as a favorite and posted on the blog.
This last image has a filter called Soda Pop used on it. What do you think of it?
If you need any senior portrait done, let me know. I really enjoying doing them...

I still absolutely love that 1973 filter... and the soda pop filter was neat but I am curious at what the original image was so I can see what the differences were.

Is it 5 or 15 Minutes of Fame?

Image
I want to say I am experiencing my 15 minutes of fame, since I had my 5 when I was 12. Stephanie help me out, what was the name of the talk show your mom took us to the tapping of in which I got to ask a question? This took place in 1979, we were in sixth grade. Teen Beat I think? I was selected to ask a question, in which now I can't remember if it was to Lief Garrett and I am thinking the host was Kristy McNichol, aggg... Anyway when the episode aired on TV I was to embarrassed to watch myself. Da I wish I would have!! On to my recent fame, I was asked to shoot the cover of the Arizona Bridal Source Guide this past spring for Kim Horn and it is out and about. This fame will last longer then 5 minutes since it will be available for the next 6 months. I am so very excited and am happy with how it turned out. It was a great and nerve racking experience! You can pick up a copy at several bridal shops around town and it will also be given out this weekend at the big bridal show at t...

Ahh Stella

Image
When you get an email from the sister of a past pride asking if you could take pictures of her 6 month old baby girl, you say sure! When she ask you if you can meet at her sister-in-laws house to take the picture because she has a "fun house" you reply yes. Then you show up and see this beautiful baby girl and this incredibly decorated shabby chic house, you burst with excitement inside.. That is just what happened. Elaine emailed me to see if I could take pictures of Stella and asked if we could meet at her sister-in-laws house. Well, you can see for yourself that Stella is beautiful and the house was a photographer's dream. Elaine had all her own idea's for Miss Stella. We had so much fun and Stella was a trooper to say the least. I loved how Stella would smile at her mommy over and over again. She is truly a happy baby. This shoot inspired me to convert some of my office into a studio. I called my friend Nancy after the shoot and was blabbing away on how much fun ...

 My first wedding of 2014 was with Nicole and Chad at Encanto Park Clubhouse.  This wedding was so sweet with fabulous details.  I mean really fabulous details, from the location, to the bridesmaids attire and reception details.  If you follow my blog regularly you know I usually do not post to many detail shots, I always photograph them, I just do not post them.  For this post I am posting more then average because they were just so fun.  Thank you so much Nicole and Chad for allowing me to capture your sweet wedding.  It was such a great way to start 2014.
