christmas sessions: update

As the Christmas cards and magnets are rolling through my office, I'm getting more and more excited for the Christmas season to be here!

I just wanted to give everyone an update on my schedule for those who still may be interested in doing Christmas cards.

I will be available for mini-sessions until December 10.

About mini-sessions:
Approximately 30 minutes to an hour in length
1 location, 1 outfit
Geared toward your Christmas card design, although you will be able to order prints
$60 plus the cost of your cards

If you'd like to book a mini-session, you'll need to have picked your template out beforehand. Check them out here!

I will be in Borger the weekend of December 5-6, and can accept a few mini-sessions at that time as well, although there will be a small travel fee.

james + janna

I got to photograph James and Janna's wedding last Friday. These two have a really true, genuine love for each other, and it shows.

When I first met with them, they said, "All that matters is that we're married at the end of the day". I love it! So often these days it seems like a wedding becomes more about all the stuff...and we become distracted.

We had a great time with them- here are a few of my favorite images from their day:

Love this shot Shanna snagged:

They decided to see each other before the ceremony, which is always a very special time. They were both so excited to see each other!

Married!

They took a break from their guests at the reception to allow us to capture some really moody images. I love getting to be creative!

I have a feeling they are still finding birdseed places. :)

You guys are wonderful! I hope you've had a great time sipping world-class coffee in Seattle!

session albums

where is my husband?

Sadly, that's the best title I could think of this Monday morning.

The answer is a good one- he's in Chicago! Shawn and his band, A Road Less Traveled, are on the Rock What You Got Tour this week with Superchick, Stellar Kart, and Article One.

They'll be playing their last show in West Palm Beach, FL with TobyMac.

If you happen to be in any of the cities they're playing, you must go! It's a great show.

Side note: I'm getting more and more accustomed to this on-the-road thing, thanks to the genius of Skype.

kenny paul harris

I had a promotional shoot with Kenny this last week. This would be the second time I've shot with him and we certainly had a good time.

I love it when I can just tell a person to jump off a ladder and "try to look peaceful". He killed it, though!

Kenny is an excellent musician here in Lubbock, and if you have an opportunity to hear him play, you should definitely go listen. In fact, go listen HERE, at his myspace.

I'd love it if you'd leave me a comment and tell me how these images make you FEEL- I had a specific feeling in mind while shooting them.

ashlee again!

Here are a few more from my shoot with Ashlee. We switched modes at the end for more of a high fashion look.

I loved the shoes!

Thanks Ash! Love ya!

ashlee

This post is going to have to be in two parts- I have too many favorites, and I've run out of time for the day!

This is Ashlee- we lived together in college, and now she is graduating! So, of course, we had to get some shots to celebrate that.

Kirby Raschke came to assist me and she did an excellent job! I'm pretty sure I wore her out!

She's so stinkin' beautiful! Here are the first few favorites:

lauren • senior

Lauren is a high school senior from Ralls. She and her mom came to Lubbock last Saturday, and we had a really fun shoot! The light was beautiful and the company was so good.

Lauren made a wonderful model and we captured a lot of great color in her shoot!

I had to get this blue wall- it is my favorite color! (How would anyone guess that?)

and a blue sky!

This is definitely someone's home- but I couldn't miss out on that vibrant yellow...so we did a ninja-fast pose in front since we didn't *quite* have permission. :)

This one has a really peaceful feeling about it.

Thanks so much Lauren! Congrats on your graudation!

album time

Gosh, it seems like the most popular word to come out of my mouth lately is "album"!

As I sit here at my desk, I am surrounded by 4 Guestbooks & 2 Senior Books. I'm also uploading 3 albums and building one. On my to-do list is another Guestbook and a Coffee Table Album...that's not to mention the album orders I've yet to receive from weddings this summer!

It can be a little crazy at times, but receiving an album is very rewarding. I always feel a sense of completion when I get to see my work displayed in a beautiful format.

I just finished Kaury and Ashley's album and thought I would share some of my favorite spreads. When it came time for them to tell me their selections for their book, they said, "You pick! We trust you! Just be creative." (Which they've said since the beginning, and has always resulted in some of my favorite images.)

So, I ended up with a very streamlined look- lots of horizontal lines that would lead the eye to the next image or page, and told their story at the same time.

Some of the spreads have white border on the top and bottom of the images that's hard to see on my blog.
