class of 2010: ashley

Ashley was a little shy when she first stepped out of the car. I had talked to her prior to our shoot and I knew that she was a sweetheart, but I think the idea of being in front of the camera made her nervous. Ashley loves photos so I knew that having great senior pictures meant a lot to her. Knowing this, I was excited that she had picked me to capture this stage of her life. Ashley is being home schooled like I was at her age so, photographing her was a little bit like peeking a look back at myself. I'm happy with the way the images came out. I hope I filled her expectations!

This is my favorite from the day. I love the great expression and moment on her face. To me, it is pure joy.
Look at those eyes...STUNNING!


Ashley just adores her little sister, Laura, who has Down Syndrome. I was glad to be able to capture such a special bond.

life: jessica's maternity shoot

Jessica is one of those women that I think every other pregnant woman hates. She is stunning! I seriously could not get over how beautiful she is. Jessica is going to a bridesmaid for only of my July brides later this year and it was a joy to photographer her early. I just hope that I look that gorgeous one day if I ever have a child.

I knew that I would like Jessica from the moment I heard her voice on the phone. Spunky and perky. Just how I like my clients! :-) At the shoot, her and her husband Danny were up for anything. And let me tell you, Danny is a trooper. He carried ice cream, pickles and a potted plant around and chauffeured two giggling gals. I'm so excited for the new addition to their family and the new friends I have made!
