I mentioned the wonderful senior that’s a ballerina in my post on Tuesday. And here she is! : ) Don’t you just love her curls?

I don’t think I told her this during the session, but it must be said: Brooke, I love that necklace… oh, and that you were so wonderful to work with… yeah, that was awesome!
: )


Um, lovely peacock hairpiece… Yes! : )


Pointe shoes!

I absolutely adore how expressive she was during our session. : )



Beautiful… just beautiful.

The sunset was gorgeous! : )

So, tall grass, ballet shoes, back-lighting, beautiful senior… can it get any better? : D
PS The answer is “no”… “no, it can’t get any better”… ; D

Lauren has a beautiful smile… and when she was playing the piano, it was wonderful! I wanted to keep taking pictures so she’d keep playing. : ) So think of beautiful piano music as you look at these images:


See? I just love her smile… and her necklace is cute, too. ; )

Beautiful stained glass at HSU.


Check out her pink shoes. Aren’t they cute?

And, as promised, the awesome Jacob’s Ladder makes another appearance. : ) Isn’t it perfect for full-body shots?



Well, she’s not smiling, but she looks thoughtful in this image to me. And maybe a little determined, which I love! If you check this post, though, it’s the picture that happened in the next 3 seconds, hehe.

Jacob’s Ladder again. And look at the clouds in the sky! We had great lighting that day.

Haven’t I had the most gorgeous seniors this year? : ) And I’ve still got another post coming from the sessions I did during Spring Break & they’re just as lovely! : D
Happy Good Friday & Easter, everyone. Have a wonderful holiday!

Okay, so last week’s opinions were split right down the middle… so I thought I’d try again. ; )
Well, actually I just thought it was fun to see what people voted on & why. So if you’ll indulge me for another week, here’s another lovely image to give some opinions on:

In completely unrelated news, I thought I’d share just for funsies that my excessive tweeting about book contests has paid off. : ) I’ve won 3 contests so far, hooray! If you’re interested in such things, click on over to my Twitter page & poke around to find some chances to win free books (mostly YA/urban fantasy/paranormal) from nice bloggers that review books & host contests. Although, I did use the word excessive for a reason to describe the number of tweets & maybe I should create a new Twitter account just for such things… In fact, I think that sounds like a dandy idea!
But enough of that, tell me what you think: Color or Black & White on this image?
Happy Tuesday!

As I promised, here is some beauty to enjoy: : )

I just love her dress. : )

And, like I said last time, those eyes! : ) So blue.




Okay, so confession: it was really really sunny that day. Glaringly sunny. And that means I have to think extra hard & keep my eye on harsh shadows. But it did make some nice back-lit images & lens flare. : )


There’s a place at ACU called Jacob’s Ladder. It was fabulous! I’m so glad Emily told me about it. Watch for it again in Emily’s friend Lauren’s session which will be coming up soon. : )


So I’m pretty sure the image above is my favorite close-up image. : ) The details and her smile are just wonderfully wonderful.

And, finally, I just love this last image. : ) Her dress, shoes, pose, and the little bit of yellow stripe peeking into the image off the pavement.
Ah, senior sessions, they’re so fun!

So I had a busy week (as I’ve mentioned in previous posts), and here’s a little taste of what’s coming. : )

This is a shot of Emily from our session last Saturday. Isn’t she beautiful? Look at those pretty eyes.
Much more beauty to come soon! : ) I’ve got a busy day, but I’ll have much more for you later!
Happy Friday.

It has been a week! Both good & bad… but still one of “those” weeks for me. However, it makes me much happier to be able to share these images with you! Emma is a Senior at Wylie this year & is very involved in choir. Plus she’s just wonderful. : ) I had a lot of fun photographing her downtown.
I considered breaking this into 2 posts, but I’ve still got Kat’s session & another lovely session with a local model to post, so this one will just be a little extra long because I can’t even start to pick my favorites! I hope you enjoy all of the colorful goodness.

I love all of her freckles! Seriously, I hope when my husband & I eventually have kids, they have freckles!

Doesn’t she look fiercely beautiful?





These chairs & table were outside of Relics, who were nice enough to share. They have an absolutely fabulous website, so go give it a click. And then go visit them downtown & wander through their store! : )
