Courtney

Sen10rs! What fun.

Our first outing for Courntey ended abruptly when a huge thunderstorm rolled in. Thunder, lightning, high winds….but you would have never known it by how calm Courtney remained. We had such a fun time, but we kept moving. Makes my job so easy when a beautiful girl with fabulous fashion sense and full of grace is my subject.

Round two was in the studio. Courtney has been dancing since she was a little girl and dance has been a big part of her life.

When then we headed outside to try again. While we waited for the sun to go down, Brooklyn, Courtney’s younger sister – and my assistant for the night, pointed out some four leaf clovers. She was picking them out left and right and we decided that it was going to be our lucky day!

We ended our fun night with a few photos using a chair that belonged to Courtney’s great grandmother.

Good luck at BYU, Courtney! Congratulations!!!

Prom 2010

Bekah has cheated me out of a whole year of dance photos by graduating a year early….darn it! So when one of her friends called and asked if I would take pictures for her and her prom date, I jumped at the opportunity.

I have known 3 of these wonderful kids since they were around 13 years old. It has been so fun to watch them grow and mature. They have amazing opportunities ahead of them…

The fourth is an amazing young man with big plans – I know that he will be able to do anything that he sets his mind to. You can see it in his eyes.

On to the photos….
I asked one of the moms if she wouldn’t mind getting some helium balloons for the shoot, and because the dance theme was “Carnival” mom brought some lions and tigers as props. SO fun! As for the location, we decided that doing something a little different would be in order (do I ever do anything like the rest of the world?). Take four gorgeous teenagers and put them in front of some dilapidated buildings and you have amazing juxtaposition. The girls dresses just POPPED and I love how these turned out.

Thanks for letting me be a part of sen10r Prom. AND Happy Birthday, Tyler!!!

Enjoy!

Sadie’s 2009

My studio is pretty small.  Made for 2-3 people, it is a perfect place for seniors or small families.  But I LOVE it when I get to play with a big group.  Never mind that we almost took out a softbox on the ceiling fan.  Or that the temperature was a tad too warm….

Most of these kids have been friends for many years.  A lot of them are my daughter’s age (silly girl decided that she wanted to graduate early, so she is off at college).  So, I was so grateful that Courtney called and I got to play tonight.

If you have lost faith in the rising generation, try hanging around these guys for five minutes.  They are smart, they are funny, they know how to work, and they know how to have a good time.  Enjoy your sneak peak!  Hope the dance was a blast!

Bekah’s group for Prom consisted of 13 couples. I had such a blast photographing them all and being a small part of their day. What a great group of kids!!!
