I had so much fun last year spending a week chronicling my favorite images of 2010. I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to do it all over again for 2011. This was such an incredibly fulfilling year for me. I feel so incredibly humbled and blessed that I was able to accomplish so many of my goals and I truly enjoyed getting so know so many new clients and friends. I have a big, huge cyber hug for all of you for following along with my journey. (Seriously, you only think I’m kidding.) So, get ready folks, there is a week of fun headed your way!
Dara’s shoot was so. much. fun. It was the perfect senior session to kick off my year, and my week of favorites. (And yes, I have problems only picking one.)


Really, gorgeous.

Sometimes, the outtakes are the best part of the shoot. If you can let go of your control, and embrace the moment – be it silly, loving or sad – you may be surprised at the results. Both of these images are far from perfect. But I love them. And they both represent me.
These images are included on my feed as part of the ClickinMom’s Daily Project. You can see more lovely photographers on their site, here.

Dara was a dream to photograph. She was full of energy, always had a smile ready and up for anything and everything I asked her to do. (Wildflowers and all.) There really isn’t much I love more than a rolling hills and sunshine. Add in a high school senior willing to skip and twirl down a pebble path and I’m in Heaven.
Dara, thank you for making me smile.

It has been a long time since I loaded a roll of film. And I’ve never posted any of my film images on my blog. I shoot mainly digital for all of my clients, and I didn’t feel right about posting film. I was worried it would confuse people! But I love shooting film. I honestly love the sound of an advancing roll. The thought and consideration needed when I composed my images and the suspense of waiting for the roll to come back in the mail with my pictures. I’m vowing now to shoot more film. Both for myself and for my lovely clients. I’m convinced you all will love the results as much as I have.
This image is from a recent Northgate High School senior portrait session that I’m working on. It’s completely unedited and straight from the scans I received back from Richard Photo Lab in Los Angeles.

Shot with a Pentax 645
75mm 2.8
Kodak Portra 400
Don’t worry, more from this session comming soon!

Thanks to the wonders of technology, this post is appearing while I’m 30,000 feet in the air, on my way to Las Vegas. (For geeky photography reasons. WPPI!) I couldn’t leave without just a little sneak peak at yesterday’s session.

Aren’t you excited about what’s to come!? I am!
