Liam Raby {June 26, 2012}

This is my fourth shoot with this handsome boy! Liam was not a happy camper during the shoot. He refused to do anything other than play, but who could blame him? For this shoot, I just followed Liam around and did a more photojournalistic style shoot instead of fighting him to cooperate. Thus, here is a day in the life of Liam Raby.

Here are some photos from the shoot:

Justin Nieto {June 22, 2012}

Justin wanted new headshots for an upcoming audition, upcoming as in the following day. Thanks Justin... He got the role, by the way. He's now going to use these photos for a comp card for his all his auditions and his local talent agency, lindalaymanagency.com. I love how these photos turned out. The bokeh in the background adds a serenity and joyfulness to the photos, which Justin has both of these qualities! I'm proud of you Justin and all you've accomplished --  keep your focus on God and He will provide you with limitless opportunities! Have a great semester in New York and I hope to see you sooner rather than later.

Shannon Goodhile {June 16, 2012}

I was so excited for this shoot with Shannon! She told me up front that she didn't want many "typical" photos for her senior pictures, but instead shots of her dancing. Besides being completely amazed at what she can do, this shoot was challenging to me because I had to keep up with her jumps while keeping the frame in focus. I love shoots that make me work harder. I'm pleased with the outcome from this shoot and Shannon said she was too. Congrats on graduating early Shannon! Good luck at OU next year!

Katie & Stephen's Wedding {June 1, 2012}

Katie and Stephen's wedding was the first wedding I shot. Their wedding was simple, but extremely beautiful. After the rain cleared out an hour before the wedding (glad it cleared up!) the weather was absolutely gorgeous. Surprisingly neither Katie nor Stephen looked too nervous before the wedding. The ceremony was sweet, especially when they read their own vows. The reception was fun with a lot of dancing. My favorite part was the Anniversary dance and whoever had been married the longest gave advice to the new couple. With all the excitement, the day went by fast! I am honored to be a part of their special day and I wish nothing but happiness for them.


Here are some pictures from the wedding:

Katie & Stephen {April 22, 2012}

Katie has been my best friend for as long as I can remember, so when she asked me to shoot her wedding I was ecstatic! Since I've known Katie and Stephen for quite some time, I knew this engagement shoot was going to be a blast! We ended up shooting after noon, which could have caused some difficulties due to the light, but we didn't run into any trouble at all. The shoot was quick and easy and I think the result turned out great.
