Melissa Sneak Peek {2010 Seniors}

Melissa called me one night to talk about her senior portraits. Unfortunately, I missed her call. But I am so glad I did. Just with the message she left I could tell she had this fun spunky personality. So it was not surprising when we met downtown to see a fun-loving laid-back young woman. Thank you so much Melissa for the opportunity to capture some memories of your last year in high school. You are such a sweet woman and will do wonderful in your journey through life. Just remember to keep up the hard work and have a little fun with everything you do.

Melissa you have a gorgeous smile!

And she is also fierce!

Alex {2010 Seniors}

I absolutely LOVE shooting senior pictures! There is just something so special about these moments in every life. Maybe it's that young fulfilling energy they have or because this time in life presents so many questions and opportunities. These times are filled with so much joy and friendship, but at the same time full of wonder about the future and what it holds. It wasn't long ago when I was there, but it seems like so so far away now.

Thank you so much Alex for asking me to do your senior pictures. I had so much fun getting to know you and I know you will do great in whatever life brings your way. You have such a beautiful family and that even includes your little lovable dog, Tuff. Make sure you enjoy every moment of these last days of high school. Time will fly by faster than you realize.

Alex, I don't need to say this but you are absolutely stunning!

He is adorable and you're lucky I didn't take him home.

Downtown Shoot

We held a model photo shoot with cars in downtown Tulsa during sunset. I have to say - this shoot was so much fun. I thank Brian and Megan for modeling for me, and Ryan and Brian for supplying the awesome cars. Thank you everyone who helped put this photo shoot together! This was such a great turnout I think. Just so happens we had some people going about their weekend activities that were interested in finding out what we were doing. We had an audience but that was kind of fun to have.

Another Swimsuit Shoot

I got to go on another photoshoot at the lake. This time it was with the ever lovely Lacey. She was such a blast to work with and a blast to talk with too. She has a very beautiful look and with the beautiful lighting we were provided, it was a successful photoshoot. I was able to learn how to work with models more as well as how to work with lighting. I was pleased with how the pictures turned out. Here are a few for you to look at.

My very first shoot

I was like a kid in a candy store. A local photographer, that I have shot with before, invited me to come tag along on one of his photoshoots. He has been so helpful and offering advice for me to grow and I am so thankful for that. The model of course was lovely and such a joy to work with. It was such a nice evening outside - not too hot or muggy. As it was my first actual shoot, I was nervous as could be. I didn't want to get in the other photographers way as this was his shoot, but I also didn't want to walk away with nothing. So I jumped head first in the water to start shooting and learning. The only way you can advace yourself and your art is to learn from mistakes and practice. So this is what I did. And I am finally getting around to posting these.


Here are a few shots from the night.

Great Success

Saturday was better than expected. Although I didn't get to model my dress, I had such a blast. It rained early morning so the skies were clear by the time we all made it out there. There was a total of around 30 photographers with around 10-15 models. It was so great to have so many different views there to listen and watch how they worked. All the models were great and outgoing. Here are a few pictures from the day.

Janna was all smiles as she got dressed up in her gown again.

Macayla was a little shy at first but looks great with the camera.

Megan knows how to work with the camera and was a great model.

The lovely and exotic Amber in a sundress

Cassie was fun to work with and looked great with the sunset.

Danielle was stunning in her wedding gown.
