Portrait Session: Lauren

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Yay, I love it when I get to post portraits! They are my absolute favorite, and I especially love working with teens, seniors, and young people. If you’ve followed my blog for any time, you’ve seen this girl before. As always, we had tons of fun and got some amazing shots! She put up with the cold (hey, it was above freezing, so nobody is allowed to complain) and staring towards the sun (there were no clouds and the shadows were harsh–what do you want?). Also, many thanks to my awesome assistant Liz, a wonderful girl and aspiring photographer. She helped with the lighting and had some great pose ideas as well!

*I’d love to hear your thoughts! Which one(s) would you like to see in Black & White? Which one is your fave? Thanks for stopping by!*

Siblings

Friday, February 19th, 2010

So, I’ve been keeping this one secret for awhile! Last fall, Jess asked me if I could take some shots of her and her siblings for a Christmas present for their mom. It was amazingly thoughtful of her, and I was so stoked to be a part of a special gift like that. (They hadn’t taken family photos since the kids were little!) The only problem was finding a day to do it since the weather was colder…but all three of them braved the cold for their mom! We got some great shots, and I had to be really stealth to get the proofs back to Jess, but we managed to keep everything under the mom radar.

Okay, enough gab…here are a couple of my favorites! (Let me know what you think of the flash gallery…thought I’d try something new!)

Photographers for Haiti–Details

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Want to donate to help in Haiti AND finally get around to getting a family portrait taken?

So the other day I told you a little about this thing I want you to be involved in…okay, actually I told you nothing about it. Well, I’m finally going to let you in on it.

I’m going to be doing mini photo sessions as a fundraiser for Haiti, an idea that was a little “what if” by a couple of gals…that has turned into Photographers for Haiti taking place all around the country!

When? Saturday, March 20th, 3-6 PM
What? A 20-30 minute outdoor mini-session. You’ll get 4-6 shots to choose from for prints in an online gallery, and one free 5×7.
How much? $40 (prints are additional)
Where? Outside…TBA
How does this thing work? Your session fee goes directly to a non-profit working in Haiti right now (your choice between Compassion International and Thirst Relief International). In fact, you write the check directly to them, so it’s tax-deductible for you. In addition, half of the proceeds from print sales will be donated by me to those organizations as well.
So how do I sign up??? Visit my contact page now to reserve your time slot!
