Celebrity Boudoir

I am so excited to be posting pictures from my first celebrity boudoir client! I was surprised she allowed me to post so many revealing photos of her considering how famous she is, but she was an excellent sport through out the shoot.
I have to admit we had some trouble with poses due to her inflexiblity, she was very stiff but she seemed to loosen up a bit toward the end of the shoot. I did very little retouching these, her skin is so flawless it's hard to believe she just turned 50!
Barbie commissioned these as a gift for Ken in honor of their two decades together and I'm sure he'll love them!

Portrait Session: Andrew and Meagan

A while back I did some family portraits for Andrew and Meagan. They just found out that they are pregnant and wanted some pre-baby family pictures before the baby comes. They were such fun to work with I can't wait until they come back with the new baby!

Maternity Portraits: Leslie

When I did Leslie's maternity session we decided to do something a bit more artistic and out of the ordinary. We tried a few outdoor shot since the weather was nice and they turned out great! I love the whole mother earth feel they have and the sun flare from the back gives the image a nice warm glow.
We also tried something new I've been thinking about with damp cheese cloth- yes I know it sounds terrible, but it looks cool and that's what counts! I wanted the convey the idea of the belly as a mold or and unfinished sculpture and the cheese cloth provided the perfect texture while allowing the outline of her hands to still show through.
We finished up with a plaster belly cast, Leslie opted to do one so that we could use it as a prop when we do little Remy's newborn session. You'll have to wait a little while to see what we do with that!

Portraits: Serenity

A little while ago I had the pleasure of photographing Serenity at Coggin Park. We had a great time - I followed while she ran around and played and the resulting images show her energetic personality and ready smile.

Senior Portriat : Heather

Blogging and I have a love/hate relationship. As in I love my blog but it hates me for neglecting it for the past 8 weeks. Thats right, it has been TWO MONTHS since I put up my last post! Things have been pretty crazy around here since I found out I was pregnant (more about that here.) and then got slammed with wedding and portraits. On the plus side that means I will be posting lots of new stuff in the near future. I promise to do better blog, please don't leave me for another artist who updates you more!
So anyway, on to Heather. Heather is a recent graduate of Brookesmith High School, we shot her senior portraits back in May. She had a really great idea to a "Decayed Glamor" themed photo shoot with fancy dresses against a backdrop of tumble down buildings and back allies. It turned out fabulous and we had a great time, even though the first shoot was interrupted by the great Lake Brownwood tornado and had to be rescheduled.

Senior Portriat Session: Lauren

I promised ya'll more of Lauren so here she is. She is the first person to graduate from college in her family so she wanted to commemorate all her hard work with some great pictures. Lauren is one of those people who can't stop smiling, or making other people smile for that matter! She is graduating from Howard Payne in May with a PR degree and I know she will be fabulous! Congratulations Lauren!

Sneak Peak: Lauren

Hey Y'all I had a fantastic time photographing Lauren a soon to be Howard Payne graduate last week. Here are couple of shots showcasing "Business Lauren". I post more showing all sides of Lauren's personality soon so stay tuned!

Portrait Session: David

Last week I had my first senior portrait session of 2009. David is a senior at Early High School and seems to have it all lined up. He is an Eagle Scout, has a job working at Brookshires. He is joining the army after he graduates and leaves for basic training in June. He has even preregistered for college when his term of service is up. We took some studio portraits and then headed out to Brookesmith for some outdoor shots at David's Grandfather's ranch. We made sure to get some with one of the two original trees that were on the land when David's Great-Grandfather bought it in the 30s. David was a lot of fun to photograph and we wish him all the luck in the world as he heads off to the army!
