Park Mini-Shoot
July 28, 2009 Senior Portraits & Models
I had the pleasure of meeting up with Tami a couple of days ago for a mini-shoot in the park and just wanted to share a few from our time together with you all. She is a beautiful person on the inside and out- I had a GREAT time working with her!!!
Yep, that was REALLY what the sky looked like. It was sort of a stormy weekend around here. lol. I thought it made for a cool moody field image though and Tami was such a good sport!
Thanks for stopping by everyone….Have a great day. 
Student Work on Display
July 26, 2009 Lessons & Workshops
Hi everyone!
I am taking a few moments this evening to feature some work samples from recent lessons I have given. The first 3 images were done by Aimee Eisaman in a texture assignment. She tried out her artistic ability on people, plants and animals!! I am really proud of her- she was very eager, experimental, dedicated to learning, and open minded the whole time. It was her first lesson with me. See below:
Terri Scribner just finished up her third lesson which focused a bit on close up portrait editing. She spent quite a deal of time learning about the little details and continues to get better as the days go by. She is a delight to work with!! Here is a sample of her work from our recent lesson-
And, Janice Windrum has been working on making natural images “pop” a bit by using color, subtle texture and composition/framing without applying quick actions. Her work in PS Layers is really evolving into a fabulous technique. I think this was an image from her 8th lesson:
Trash the Dress- Part II.
July 24, 2009 Senior Portraits & Models, Wedding/Couple
Some of you may remember that I posted images of a gorgeous bride in a field/woods setting a few weeks ago for a Trash the Dress shoot. Well, the two of us also went in to a lake… and I promised to share a handful of shots with you all. Here ya go! Enjoy…

You know me… I always have my camera in hand.
Check out some pics I grabbed of her boys:
I just want to say a big thank you everyone who sent me messages about the below Fairy image! I am thrilled you all enjoyed it and would LOVE to book more sessions like this in the future. Creating unique pieces of art for parents to hang in their homes gives me a great deal of pleasure.
I have been editing like crazy and have a lot more to share with you today. Older sister, “A,” was a little more willing to let me take her picture towards the end of the session; therefore, there are a handful of extra shots with just her in them. BUT little “J” did super, too! These two children were so awesome to work with- very smart, sweet and well mannered.
ENJOY, Julie- I kept it as “artsy and candid” as I could. It was a ton of work. lol. I went ahead and edited this session as a Full session rather than a mini because I simply could not narrow it down. It was one of my favorites so far for sure…
