Elder Shepherd.

My dear friend and following amigo has been called to serve the Lord's Mission in Little Rock, Arkansas!  I had given him a free shoot for Christmas and so on Saturday we went to town.  Not only did we get a lot a fun shots it was so good to just spend some one-on-one time with Taylor before he leaves!   Check out this studly man!     

He has quite the smolder!  

Cheers!

Miss Nay.

Introducing Baby Nay!  She is beautiful complete with red hair (I want ginger headed babies) and huge eyes that bright and alive!  This little lady is such a doll and is so good for her Mama and Papa!  

Cheers!

Lady Nan.

The lovely Lady Nan and I went out to start her Senior Picture portfolio this afternoon.  I say "start" because by the way things are looking it is going to be a process that takes all summer.  I am very much okay with that though.  Lady Nan is my sister, best friend and I also refer to her as my "Spot-finder".   Here is a preview of  what we did in the short time we had before the sun went down.  

We got eaten alive by misquotes, I have been itching all night.

Cheers!

Miss Addi.

After my session with Daniel, Addi came over- we were babysitting!  She sat in the chair and I played with some dramatic lighting.  After a while and a few hundred pictures I needed to go, but Addi wouldn't allow it!  She kept pulling me around the house saying, "my picture, my picture."  If only they were always so willing!  I love little Addi!

Cheers!

Elder D. Hales- (soon to be)

I basically feel pretty legit right now, the whole fact that people actually like my work still baffles me to the point where I have to double check and make sure that I am not dreaming.  My photography is improving all the time and I love it!  I have never taken a class and so everything I do is just from teaching myself- my processes of "guess and check".  

Today I had another missionary session.  Can I just say that indoor sessions are really easy- maybe a little too easy at times, but I love love loved how my new little studio has worked out!  Daniel came over this evening for his mission shoot and I swear that kid was in and out of here in less than a half hour!  (high five for working fast!)  I have done a marathon editing session, because Daniel needs his pictures and I am going to Powell tomorrow!  VACATION!  (it's okay to be jealous- I would be jealous of me too!)  

Thanks Daniel I really hope you like them!  I think they turned out great!

Cheers!

Missionaries!

Today was an adventure.

My mom and I threw together a backdrop in an hour and I must say I was rather impressed with our skill!  Cheers, to my first studio-ish type session!  It rocked!

Amy and Matt will both be leaving on their missions the beginning of June.  I am so excited for them!  Matt and I met during a leadership conference our junior year in high school and Amy is his older sister. We worked fast this afternoon and I was really pleased with the shots that we got!  I would say my first portrait style/studio shoot was a success!

Thanks Amy and Matt!  

Cheers,

Roundy Family

I am home for the summer and what better way than to kick it off with a session from this lovely family.  I will admit, I was nervous to do this session, but once momentum picked up it rocked!  I have done families before, but little families with little kids, this was a whole new experience and I loved it!

And now for some quick behind the scenes editing:

  I love before and afters!  

Happy Mother's Day!

Cheers,

Miss Dawn
