St. John.








St. John-- This was my first time doing head shots and I have to admit that it was harder than I thought it'd be....especially since with head shots you usually have to narrow it down to ONE picture to use. (He is applying for an opera competition in PARIS--How cool is that?!-- and needed a picture for the application! He and his wife both have amazing voices...I sat next to his wife in high school choir and sang quietly so I could hear her sing :0)). Chalk this one up to another first :0) In any case, St. John was a good sport about all the pictures we ended up taking.

Best of luck with your application! Bon courage!

Bill & Julia.





I couldn't decide if I liked this one better in Color or B&W.







Bill & Julia-- These are some pictures I took of my Father-in-law and Mother-in-law at our last family retreat. They are SO photogenic together and I loved how they turned out! They're both such amazing individuals and I feel so blessed to be in their family :0)

Jaxon.












Jaxon-- What a beautiful baby boy! And he was SO easy to work with....his Mom would lay him down and within a minute or two he was asleep. I still have NO idea how to "mold" babies like some photographers do, nor do I have any of those cool-looking cocoons, BUT I do what I can :0) I actually really enjoyed working with the props around the house. It brought out the personality of Jaxon's parents in ways I couldn't have done otherwise. Can you guess what they are fans of?

In any case, Jaxon's Mom was one of my college room mates...it was so fun to meet up with her again and meet her adorable little son. And what a great sport, new born shoots last so much longer than the average photo shoot. Thanks Jill!! :0)
