Burke Family

2011-06-16T11:23:00.000-07:00

This was a fun family shoot. We did it right before the sun got harsh, but here in England the sun is coming out around 4am so I am having a hard time figuring out when the perfect shade/sun time is. The Burke family were great troopers and made a lot of fun poses, and pictures. I thoroughly enjoyed this session, just like I enjoy most of my sessions. I have been lucky enough (knock on wood) to work with some great families, and get some great photos out of them lately. I loved the way the kids posed and some of it wasn't positioned they did things on their own, and if they were more preoccupied in something else it made the picture even better with profile shots. I would like to work on cutting some of the shadows out like I stated before the sun is hard to work with lately... Maybe I'll get lucky this weekend with some shade. Speaking of this weekend I am doing my first ever Prom photo shoot tomorrow night so that should be interesting... Fingers crossed things turn out ok : ) I am loving this new found passion for photography here in England. I feel like everywhere I look there is a place to shoot... Sometimes I'd just like to pull over and place my son in some spots to get some quick mini sessions... If you see a place you like and would like to test it out let me know and we'll work something out I am always open for new ideas, new area, and a challenge at that! Until next time : )

Perez Family

2011-05-30T04:08:00.000-07:00

Last weekend I got to work with the Perez family. I did a shoot with their youngest Mason a month or so ago and I was happy to be able to do family pictures for them! This day it was very windy, lets just say hair everywhere! We were able to manage to avoid some of the wind to capture some great family photos, although the wind interfered a few times. I loved the location we chose I happened to drive by this place all the time and decided to check it out and try it for family photos. We also did pictures in Mildenhall this day. It was a wonderful relaxed day, the kids were amazing and so cooperative, the parents helped a lot as well. I always have a blast with this family they are always up for new ideas, and willing to work with whatever we have. I have to say my favorite picture is the flag one with the 3 older kids. It was touching and I am sure meant a lot to this family...

Gavin with Mommy and Daddy at 2 months

2011-05-25T00:44:00.000-07:00

This past weekend I had the privilege of working with Gavin, and his family. Gavin is 2 months old and was really laid back and easy to work with. It was early around 10am I thought the lighting would be perfect around then, but the sun was on full blast this morning. We got a lot of great shots in. Mom wanted to focus on getting some pictures of Gavin in Dad's ABUs I never knew how hard it was to position this : ) It turned out wonderful though. We had a blast, it was relaxing, along with a cool breeze, and a lot of sunlight. All in all the pictures I think show how much love, and how proud they are to have their son Gavin. I love love love infant photography even more when I have a relaxed fun loving baby like Gavin...

Olivia's 2 year Photos

2011-05-22T09:25:00.000-07:00

This was a unique shoot with Olivia. It was right in the middle of the day, and during the week. I had just dropped my son off at school and we didn't know where we could do some pictures. I spoted across the street some trees and Olivias mommy drove around earlier that day and saw some spots to take pictures as well. This was an impromptu session, it was planned just not the location, nor poses, or back drops. Needless to say the bird watching area, some random mans fence and roses, along with a brick wall and a friends random telephone booth in her yard made for great scenerey. This is why I love England so you can walk out your front door and find anywhere to shoot for the day and make it work. What a blast and different experience this was!

Garcia Family

2011-05-20T14:30:00.000-07:00

Last weekend was a good weekend with a lot of cute photogenic girls and great giggles and laughs The Garcia girl's made for an awesome day. The day was overcast, filled with a few sprinkles here and there, but these girls didn't care! They brought lots of smiles and personality to each picture. It was nice also to work with sisters, I am extremely close to my sister and this shoot brought a lot of emotions to me. It made me miss my sister dearly. I am glad I got to capture sisterly love, one of the greatest loves there is out there. We also threw in a few family shots which turned out nice. When you have a big family it's hard to get everyone on the same page, but I feel like this family was awesome, worked together and knew what to do to make each character smile. Thank you Garcia family for reminding me what love I have for photography and capturing family love, tenderness, and compassion!

Kyndra's 6 year Photo's

2011-05-16T01:52:00.000-07:00

This weekend I was packed with some special people to photograph Kyndra being one of them! We went to a location that was by far 1 of my favorite places to shoot to date. Her mom stumbled upon this place which was so cool, so unique and very England like. It was an old abandoned church it had so many great spots, along with different unique characteristics about it. I enjoyed this shoot a lot. Kyndra was a lot of fun and a trooper. You would never guess that it was raining, cold, windy, and cloudy. She made it seem like it was a perfect day. You could also tell she felt absolutely beautiful in her dress, which made her attitude fun, child like, and beautiful to capture... What an absolute pleasure it was to spend that day and photography shoot with Kyndra and her mom.

Melissa and Tim Couples Shoot

2011-05-05T13:35:00.000-07:00

A couple days ago I got to work with Melissa and Tim Cherry. This was an awesome day! We had so much fun. They were head over heels in love. Once enemies and now a happily married couple how does that work?! I loved learning about them, and hearing about their love story. Love stories are always so interesting to me... They were so much fun to work with, they had so much zest for life and a lot of awesome ideas. We also iincorporated their personalities which was mainly Tim and his goofiness and Melissa and her beautiful persona. It was a pleasure working with these two I look forward to more shoots with them. Can't wait to try new things and fun poses with them!

Micah's 13 year photo's

2011-05-02T08:47:00.000-07:00

Do you remember what it's like to be 13? I had the opportunity to take a trip back in time and remember how much fun it is to be young and a teen again! This late weekend I got to work with Micah on his 13 year photos. His mother makes sure each child has an up to date picture of them for their birthdays, and it just so happened we got to work with Micah first. It was a nice one on one session where we got to talk, and discuss how school was along with friends and other things happening in his life. I really enjoyed this session. He was easy to work with and just did about every pose you'd ask him to do. I can't wait to work with him and his family on other birthday pictures!

Mason's 1 Year Pictures

2011-04-28T13:00:00.000-07:00

Birthdays are wonderful. This past weekend I had the opportunity to work with Mason and his family and capture his 1 year photos. He was a pleasure to work with. Full of smiles and I don't even think I captured one picture without him smiling! These type of photo shoots are what I love working with. His family was an absolute joy, they were so helping, and made sure Mason was well taken care of, and happy! He had his own team of brothers and sister to help him with whatever he needed, even there to hold his juice box for him in between each shot! I look forward to working with this family again, and also working on their family pictures very soon. What a photogenic boy Mason is and you can see his personality shine through each picture! Thank you Mom and Dad for providing Mason with many outfits and props! It was a beautiful day and a beautiful way to spend the day!

Baby Gabriel 3 month photo session

2011-04-22T14:14:00.000-07:00

I had the honor of taking Gabriel's 3 month pictures. He was a joy to work with! We tried to incorperate both mommy and daddy into some of the pictures. He was awake and happy and full of kicking! The setting was indoors so we could work with some props like blankets, baskets, and hats! Thank you Sam for allowing me to capture your beautiful son he was a joy and I look forward to working with him for his 6month, 9months and 1 year pictures!
