Personal- A new lens & a jar of buttons

In anticipation of the spring/summer photography season, I made a list of must-haves. Like a new camera case and a new lens. Today was the day to shop so I asked my friend, Shelley, to go with me. I knew she would jump in the car when I said "camera store".

After 30 minutes of trying out camera cases, I decided the decision was too much for me (and the camera store guy) today so I went on to the lens on my list. A 50mm 1.4. This decision was a little easier. I made the purchase and Shelley and I were off to North Market for some yummy Vietnamese soup.

Fast forward to home. I got out the jar of buttons I saved from my Mom who was a seamstress.....an awesome seamstress. The photo below was taken with my Nikon D700 and the new 50mm 1.4. The bokeh is dreamy and I am in love :)

Senior Pics - Kenzie

The wonderful feeling of being a Senior and some new clothes :) make for a great photo shoot. Kenzie brought all that plus a great big smile, those beautiful eyes, and her sweet personality to our session.

Family- Baby E. and the boots

I have said it before and I will say it again........It's all about the SHOES!


and, of course, the smiles :)

Senior Pics- Studio

Winter is the perfect time to finish up with senior sessions in the studio. I had such a great time with Bradley and his family in the fall of last year, so I knew he would be alot of fun for his studio time. What makes a great session? Having fun, relaxing, laughing, and being open to trying something different.

NEW WEBSITE & Donut Burgers

I am so excited! We have been working on the new website for a couple months now. Jazmin listened to all my ideas, then we worked and re-worked. She came up with great stuff! I am so proud of her! Well, I am proud of her for way more reasons than designing my website.... like her Superior Science Award she received last night, her fantastic artistic abilities, and watching the whole series of Gilmore Girls all over again with me :) She is an awesome all-around kid!

Then Max did all his behind the scenes website, computer, techno thingys that I have clue about and WALLA'....a new site.

***And just for the randomness of it all, I wanted to share this photo from a recent party we attended. The theme--- donut burgers. Granted, I didn't eat one cause of the whole allergy thing, but this is our friend, Dave's, burger. Everyone said it was AWESOME!
