Ready, Set, Actions!!

I am expanding! I have started creating my own templates and actions and am extremely excited to launch them at the beginning of the year for other professional and aspiring photographers. Although us photographers would like to spend the bulk of our time taking pictures and simply uploading, that is just not the case. Photographers spend 80% of their work time on the computer! We spend hours upon hours on editing in order to create the perfect image! We may work on things like enhanced lighting, skin retouching, eye sparkles, sun flares, color enhancements, resizing, watermarks, and so much more. Manually setting your camera to the correct settings in the beginning is crucial as well, but creating that perfect image involves retouching and enhancing.  Having a simple "go to" action can be a huge time saver when it comes to editing and that's why I'm creating them for YOU! You can look forward to a variety of actions, from basic to advanced, in the near future. I can't wait to share my new products with you! Look for the launch to begin January, 2012.

Season's Greetings from the Bowmaker Family

This family was so incredibly nice to work with. I honestly walked away feeling like a better person just from having the opportunity to work with them. They were kind and genuine to me and to each other. The children were playful and such good listeners and it was easy to see that they loved each other unconditionally. I wish them all the happiness in the world, although it seems to me they already have it!

Happy Holidays from Andrew, Melissa & Hunter

I've had the opportunity to photograph Hunter since he was a newborn. Now, he is 6 months old! It's so fun to compare children's last sessions and see how they are growing. He is such a happy little boy and has parents that absolutely adore him. Hunter looks like he could be on the cover of Parent's Magazine with his smooth and creamy skin and his beautiful blue eyes. I love some of the poses from the family in this session, so relaxed and playful, yet full of emotion and love. Don't forget the music for the full effect!

Family Full of Love

Angela and her boys were so easygoing. They were relaxed and full of smiles. I love that these boys had a clear bond of brotherly love. They were making each other giggle throughout the session. I could see that they love their mom unconditionally! They were always looking to her for guidance and wanted to be near her, whether that meant sitting on her lap, kissing her or giving her a big bear hug.

Baby Josie & Proud Big Brother Colt

This little lady was just seven days new when I had the opportunity to photograph her. She was born on Thursday, October 27th, and greeted by her proud mom, dad and big brother Colt. Once she got cozy, she was quite the poser. I especially love the ones of her smiling, what a sweetheart! Baby Josie will make you swoon. Enjoy!

Brittany

Wow! Brittany is an incredibly beautiful girl. Several times while editing her senior session, I had to take a step back, just to look at her gorgeous expressions. Her beauty inside more than matches her beauty on the outside. Her personality is extremely fun-loving and so very sweet. I imagine she has an array of people who love her kind soul and whom she will captivate with this video.

Beau & Sophia

Beau and Sophia were so much fun and full of smiles. They kept me on my toes with their playful personalities which let me capture their true essence. They laughed, they played, they ran...they did all of the wonderful things kids do while I chased them with my camera:) Beautiful, beautiful children!

Notre Dame Pride

When this family showed up with their Notre Dame outfits, cowboy boots, and baby Uggs on, I was so excited to photograph them! They even brought a football for a little family football fun. The boys ran around on the football field with mommy while the girls were keeping warm with their daddy. After a few huddles and hikes prince charming took his princess off into the sunset and they lived "happily ever after."

The Franklin Family Session

This is one of the nicest families I have met. Their session was relaxed, easy going and filled with smiles and laughter.

Jillian and Brad

A few words about the session: Jillian and Brad were full of personality, liveliness, happiness and love. The video captures it all!

Benny's Slideshow

Baby Benny's Session

Baby Benny made me swoon. What a sweetheart! He was snug as a bug from the moment he arrived for his session. I couldn't stop capturing this perfect little guy behind the lens. He has perfect eyes, perfect lips and a perfect little nose! It was so nice to meet little Benny.

Tis the Season...

Erin

Erin was oh so cute during her senior session. Every once in a while I would ask her for a serious shot (shmise is what my Goddaughter calls it-smiling with your eyes). Erin would giggle at me when I asked her this, which gave me the opportunity to capture her laughing. Her clothes were hip and her smile perfect! I can't wait to share her senior images with her. Until then, here's a little debut.

Children Shoot

These kids are stunning! Each of them has a special story to tell...

              

Koby Joseph, 5th grader~ The quiet thinker. He loves organization and trivia. On a rainy day you will find him putting together 1,000 piece puzzles! 

Kaden Allen, 4th grader~The life of the party. He enjoys sports and taking care of his little sis. He's a hard worker and likes to finish first. 

DeLaney LouAnn, 2nd grader~Her soul is as soft as the texture of her skin. Her smile is contagious and her style vibrant. She likes to wear her hair down, so that her playful side shines through. Her friends call her Laney.
