Baby Bump

admin — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:48:10 +0000

Amber and Matt did an in-studio maternity session with me recently. Our session was very laid back and informal, as maternity session often are. I’m climbed ladders, messed with light stands, maked sure clothes lay right around Amber’s gorgeous belly, etc. We took a ton of creative shots, and do almost as many outfit changes as a senior photo session. Thanks for the great session guys!

Baby Steps

I met with John and Kathryn to take their family photos. Their son had just taken his first steps a few weeks prior to our session, and he was so proud to show off his new moves. He and his parents were great to work with and are such a sweet family!

I recently took photos at Optique Vision Center for some new marketing material. Here are a few of my favorite images…

Emory + Jessica (part 3)

The reception ran smoothly with the guidance of event coordinator Lindsay Roe. One end of the Grand Ballroom was set with tables, while the other end, where the ceremony took place, was cleared of chairs, and became the dance floor. As the dance floor started filled, I noticed many of the people in the wedding party with beer steins. I found out that the Groom and his father had brewed all the beer for the reception. Notice the grooms Cake? It was coved with a hops vine (a major ingredient in brewing).

Emory and Jessica said their vows in the Grand Ballroom of the Sand Plum. It was plain to see they love each other.

As the sun set on Guthrie, the wedding party for Emory and Jessica’s wedding began to arrive at the Sand Plum Event Center. I snapped some pictures with the groom before heading to the bridal suite where Jessica and her bridesmaids dressed.

Our Christmas Card

admin — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:18:29 +0000

I’m really excited about our family Christmas Cards this year… Especially now that they are finished!! We have a picture we actually both look good in, which I put on a card template I customized, and I had the pictures printed on recycled paper (we are pretty stinking excited about the recycled paper).

I have always made too big of a deal about our Christmas Cards, and I make just as big of a deal over getting my clients Christmas Cards right! When I make a Christmas card for a client I set up a meeting where we talk through size and finish options, select the right template to customize, and make touch ups to the selected photo(s). I want you to be as excited about your cards as I am about mine!

brooke’s session

admin — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 19:15:55 +0000

Brooke’s family moved here from across the country earlier this year. They wanted to have pictures of her and their new puppy in a setting that reflected Oklahoma. Brooke was wonderful to work with and the fall leaves were showing off some nice color where we were shooting. The puppy really enjoyed the fall day too. He wanted to run, sniff, jump, and play everywhere… except in front of the camera. I still managed to get a couple with him though.

Here are a few of my top picks from their session.

the truth behind the image

The front of the Reed Family’s Christmas card, shows a loving family, sitting in front of their Christmas Tree.

The back of their card was inspired by the children’s mother who thought it would be funny to use an outtake picture there. We selected an image where it looks like her daughter is trying to jump out of the picture and her son is screaming. I loved her idea!

engaged: heston and amanda

Congratulations to Heston and Amanda on their engagement! Zac and I are so looking forward to photographing their wedding at Heston’s home in Stillwater June 2010. For their engagement session, we walked around my favorite new shooting location, Bickham-Rudkin Park, and took pictures while the sun rose, then we headed over to Pop’s for a really some fun shots.

Bryce’s Senior Photos (part 2)

admin — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 19:30:11 +0000

Before heading to the Opry, we took these pictures in Bricktown. I love urban feel of all the old buildings there! Bryce did an awesome job of smiling for the camera, and it totally shows! Great setting + bright smile… we’re in business!

Bryce’s Senior Photos (part 1)

You may have heard Bryce singing around town before, He opened at Craig Morgan’s concert this summer, and he is a regular at the Rodeo Opry. With all his talent, I had to catch him in action as part of his senior photos. So after capturing his regular senior photos we headed over to the Oklahoma Opry where he preformed. Stay tuned for his senior photos.

After the Session

admin — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 17:51:42 +0000

I often hear my clients exclaim “I just can’t decide which pictures I like best!” There are so many options available for a single image that it can be overwhelming! I have been brainstorming about how to make the process easier… and I have a solution! I now offer complimentary meetings at my studio or in your home to build your unique photo package. At the meeting we will review the online proofing gallery of your images, and talk through why particular images may be better than others. Then I will help make sense out of the vast array of printing options available. It’s the final step that can take your pictures to the next level!

Oklahoma Feel

admin — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 13:30:54 +0000

Janey asked me to meet her and her family in a field in North Edmond to take their photos. We arrived just as the sun was just rising. As we walked around we found a patch of little flowers the girls could pick. They were so excited; they kept bringing flower after flower as they picked them. The field was a truly great location and best of all these pictures have a very Oklahoma feel.

Max!

admin — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:12:53 +0000

My husband and I went out to the Oklahoma City Animal Control Center a few weeks ago looking for a new friend and we met Max. We fell in love with his super sweet disposition, expressive ears, and happy smile. We adopted him, and brought him home. He has been adjusting well to all the tummy rubbing, treats, and walks.

Okay, so I really don’t dress my dog up… This was supposed to be a picture of a scarf I just knitted, but Max looks so cute I couldn’t resist posting this picture!

Family Photos

admin — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 19:57:30 +0000

During these family pictures Sarah asked me to take some pictures of her holding her son. She already some with her daughter at the same age, and she wanted to have a set to hang at their house. These should be the perfect addition!

Maddi’s Senior Portraits

admin — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 02:33:49 +0000

Did I mention that I love to travel? Well, in case you were wondering… I love to travel to photo sessions! These senior pictures of Maddi were taken at Lake Texoma. Note to seniors: don’t be afraid to ask for what you really want in your pictures, I love a good challenge!

The ceremony and reception were lovely and the evening flowed so smoothly with the guidance of the event planner Donna Curtis of De’Boise Catering . This was my first time to work with her, and it was a pleasure.

Tyler and Jana got married at Festivities. It is an impeccably restored Georgian-Style Post Office in downtown El Reno. It was a fantastic venue for their wedding. Jana dressed in their bridal chamber on the second floor, while guests arrived at the courtyard below where the ceremony would be held.
