Head Shots - Jackie!!

I have known Jackie for around 6 years. We use to work together, aaaaand that basically means we laughed, joked, grubbed and have had ourselves some fun through the years. It kinda happens when you are around me. hahaha! Juuuust kidding!

When Jackie called me up and asked me to do some headshots for her, I was so excited! I mean look at the woman! She is kinda hot. I'm super jealous of her eyes! Loooove 'em!

We are starting with these awesome jump shots right off the bat because I wanted you to see that Jackie is THAT much fun to be around. So you can only imagine that we had ourselves a good time despite the stinkin' hot Vegas weather.

Love the brick wall.





I rarely, if ever do this...but I loved this photo in color and black and white SO much I had to show you both versions. Goooooorgeous! Wow!!




It's a toss up for me between the above and below picture for favorite shot of the day.

After we took these shots, I told Jackie to expect these on the blog. ;)









Aaaand here are the ladies that made hot Jackie look like SUPER hot Jackie!

Sneak Peek: Jackie...headshots!

More to come...keep a look out!

Editing Photos...how I do! ;)

I have a lot of folks ask me about what kind of Photoshop editing I do. I try and do as minimally as possible. I won't remove a mole or a bunch of freckles, because, that makes you, YOU. ;) But I will get rid of zits and maybe if you have some dark circles under your eyes. I will also add a little flair to your photos if I see a pattern of it developing as I edit your pictures.

But again, I try and do as little as possible with obvious editing to your photos. What I mean is, I want photos to look like they were never touched by Photoshop. Girls, just like when you first started to wear make up and you would douse it on so the world knew you had make up on, and it wasn't until your mom or big sister saw what you were doing to your probably wonderful natural beauty and taught you, less is more and only enhance what you have! I take the same approach with editing photos. When I add Photoshop techniques, I don't try to hide it. I won't make a person's pupils bigger or try and make them skinnier, or take off a layer of a double/triple chin. It takes away from the truth of what I just captured and where the subject was at in their life at that moment.

Here and there I like to take some creative license and add a little more flair to a photo for fun. If some of that fun is added, it will always be obvious.

Take a look at one of Rachel's photos. I did a side by side so you could see what I mean. The photo on the left is straight out of camera, and on the right, after I did my usual edits in Photoshop.I just bumped up the color a little, got rid of a small blemish, made some of the lines a little crisper and BAM! Done. :)


I know I keep saying it, but I have a lot more to share. It's a-comin'!

Senior Session...Nick!!

Nick is the nephew of one of my grooms/brides. I love referral clients, mostly because they are usually as awesome as the client that referred them. Aaaand, welp, it was the truth yet again! Nick and his older sister...ahem, I mean his mom, rock! Nick is a pretty cool guy. What made him even more cool, he was up for pretty much whatever I threw at him. Who wouldn't be with the pretty sweet kicks he was sporting(and yes, the shoes got their own picture below)!

Nick and I spent some time on our own taking pictures but when we met back up with his mom, I could tell right away why Nick was such a great kid. Lisa is pretty awesome. I could tell that Lisa and Nick have a great relationship. I loved the way they interacted with each other. You could tell they are really close and are best friends.

Here are some of the highlights from Nick's senior session!




One of my favorite series of pictures. We had such a good laugh in the grass! ;)

All the above happened to get the below picture. haha!




Love the yellow and blue contrast!



You two are so much fun! Thanks for allowing me to come out and take your pictures!


Happy Graduation Nick!!

Liz...headshots!

I have known Liz for a few years now. We had talked about taking headshots for a while but just never really finalized any real date or time. You know how life goes! But finally Liz and I nailed down a date! Liz was a brave soul for allowing me to push her out in the middle of the public to get the shots I wanted! She got a few whistles and "work it guuurl!" so I think it was a successful photo shoot! haha! Thanks Liz for workin' it for the camera!

I love how they turned out! Let me know what you guys think! :)


Gotta enjoy some of that sun flare!


I think these two are my favorite from the day. I just love the lighting. I also love that we hopped over a small fence to sit on the couches! I felt like a rebel! ;)

Just a few candid shots.


Love the black and white shot. It's my second favorite.


Blue eyes make me happy!
