Baby Brayden. 10 weeks. {Springfield Newborn Photographer}

I first met this little guy when he was 10 weeks old.  He was a little older than most newborns but his Mom didn’t want this stage to pass by without some photographs to remember his sweet baby face.  I had to be quicker than usual cause Brayden was a mover and shaker who was not interested in being posed.  Mom, big Sis, and I all worked to coax a smile out of him and we managed to catch a few but I think Brayden enjoyed making us work for it.  I think my favorite set of the day was in his plaid shirt that made his blue eyes just twinkle and who could resist those cheeks. 

Brayden’s Dad is an University of Missouri Alumni who played football for MU during his college years.  So, we had some fun working in a few special shots for Dad.  Can’t you just see him being a ball player someday?

Brayden is the fourth child in his family and I look forward to photographing them all together in the future.

Eric ‘10 Senior {Fair Grove Senior Photographer}

It’s always excitingwhen I’m contacted by new clients whom have been referred by former clients.  So was the case with Eric, a 2010 Senior at Fair Grove High School.  As with many Senior guys, Eric was not thrilled about his photo session but I think we made it work!  It was a new challenge for me when he decided to include his motorcyle but I love the results and I think they’re even better in black&white.

 

One of the reasons I love Senior photography is that it provides great opportunities to showcase young adults’ personalities, talents, and interests.  If your Senior photography session is still ahead of you, begin thinking now how you can highlight your personality, hobbies, and interests.

Drew ‘10 Senior {Willard Senior Photographer}

There for awhile my calendar was full with Senior appointments so, introducing our next Willard 2010 Senior guy, Drew.  Drew is involved in Track and Baseball and many other things I’m sure.  I am thinking that American Eagle is wishing they could borrow a few of these images.

   

Reid ‘10 Senior {Willard Senior Photographer}

I was honored to be able to capture a few photographs for Reid and his family.  Reid is a 2010 Senior at Willard High School.  Reid’s session included traditional Senior guy photographs as well as a few to show a more natural or “real” side of his personality.

 

Reid-Thanks for all the great smiles!  Hope I at least kept the torture to a minimum.

Introducing New Product {Springfield Area Senior Photographer}

Introducing the PicWithinPic design item now available and to be featured in future galleries.  This collage-type item combines two or more photographs in a creative way and can be personalized. 

Thanks for posing McKenzie, 2010 Willard Senior.

McKenzie ‘10 Senior {Willard Senior Photographer}

I met McKenzie, and her crew, downtown for an Urban Senior session and it just all worked for us.  With her fab style choices, great weather and perfect lighting, we were able to capture a massive number of fabulous shots

I love McKenzie’s confidence and that she knows she wants to go into nursing in the future and is already working toward that goal.

During this session, I tried a few new locations which is always exciting for me.  It’s even better when they work!  Although, I’m sure I’ll be visiting some of these spots again, McKenzie had the privilege of being the first of my clients photographed at the locations featured below.

Little Monkey with a Storie

Well, this little monkey happens to be our nephew, Seth withour newest niece, Storie.  A few weeks ago, we had the privilege of meeting Storie for the first time and Seth just celebrated his second birthday so it was the perfect time for a little photo session.

Although, you can already tell that the members of this sibling pair are going to be quite different in personality, they both just make you smile.  Seth is at the age where he likes to be constantly on the go so you have to work to get a good shot of him but I think we succeeded.  And Storie had all kinds of expressions for me from happy, to peaceful, to intense.  We’ve heard she likes to show her independence and appreciates it when her demands are met immediately but she was great for her first photo shoot with Aunt Sarah. 

You can imagine all the sibling discussions that are yet to come between these two.  Hopefully, they will be great playmates for each other.

Since this was my first session with Storie, I wanted to share my favorite from the day.  I often find it difficult to choose between black and white or color versions, so today I’m sharing both.  What do you think? B&W or Color.

After our recent 3-D ultrasound, we felt that Emiana may have some similar facial features to Storie.  It will be interesting to compare photos of our sweet daughter, when she makes her appearance in about 8 weeks, with photos of her cousin. 

One final note, these photos were taken in the Tulsa area.  If you are located in the Tulsa area please let me know if you would like to arrange a session in the Spring.
