I was so happy to see how the mom of these adorable little boys styled them the photo shoot.
The fun patterned shirts with a solid tie is fantastic for keeping the look interesting but not overwhelming.
I just love how they look for their photo shoot!

Aren’t the blue and green pants perfect?   One can find them at H&M clothing.

I’ve photographed these little men before. It was my privilege to do it again sans the dogs!

They spotted my antique camera and chose to use it as a prop.
It’s not as entertaining as the dogs, but it still made the photo shoot fun for them.
Until next time boys!

Have you ever thought your photos from the discount photo printing place lacks the color or quality you want? You get what you pay for. Professional photo printing really does make a difference in your color and quality. I talked about the quality differences on Studio 5 yesterday.

I like to get my canvas prints at Pro Digital Photos.  I also get great results with Persnickety Prints.

Our March Mini sessions were a huge success! I love seeing everyone year after year. This is the first of a couple of posts that will share some of the fun mini session madness

Over the last couple of years I have had the chance to learn from one of the nation’s top photographers, Nichole Van. She has been amazing teacher and mentor. I am always wanting to learn more about lighting and photography and try to continually push myself and my creativity. A few weeks ago I spent the weekend with Nichole and was able to practice different lighting techniques. We were able to take some models into an old factory and use our lights to take some beautiful images of the models. Here are a few photos from our shoot. If you are a senior or a parent of a senior and would like something different with your senior photos, click on the contact me button and shoot me an email. I love using natural light, but love being able to offer photography that involves multiple lights and being creative with studio light outdoors and indoors. Feel free to share on Facebook, Pin, or Tweet or leave a comment below. Thanks for visiting!

I have been doing photo sessions in Arizona for this family for years. It has been so fun to watch their family grow up. Love you Wendy and I hope you enjoy your photos. I will be back in Arizona next fall, check out my Travel Sessions here.

I have loved going into new my clients homes to do newborn photos. There are just something so real and honest documenting a new little one in his own enviorment. I have found mom is more relaxed, baby is happier and that equals great pictures. How adorable is this little ones hair? Thanks Chelsea for inviting me into your home! Enjoy!
