Mini Session with Baby Will + Family

Baby Will (9 weeks old) made a debut at a recent bluebonnet mini session and I’d say he was more than ADORABLE.  I had so much fun photographing this happy family!  Did you miss out on this year’s spring Mini Session?  No worries…more Mini Sessions to come!  Stay tuned…

Michael turns One!

Happy 1st Birthday Michael!!  I loved this session and this handsome little charmer!!  I had so much fun photographing him and capturing that stage between crawling and walking.  I found out a few days after the session that he started walking and running.  So fun!  Thanks Mom and Dad for having me photograph your sweet family.  :)

 

Photography Workshop in St. Louis

I’m SO excited to announce that I’ll be co-teaching a photography workshop in St. Louis, MO on May 31st!  I’ve teamed up with a great friend and amazing pro photographer, Jana Carson.  Jana and I have been photographing weddings together for several years and find that we work extremely well together!  Jana is based in Norman, OK and has a successful photography business focusing on Seniors and Weddings.  Our strengths and creative ideas blend together to create the perfect team for each wedding and session we do together.  We both get asked frequently for advice on all aspects of photography or what camera to buy.   We both LOVE to share what we’ve learned through the years and are excited to offer this opportunity to you!  This workshop is intended for those who have started the photography journey recently or want to begin one.  You might be on the brinks of starting a new photography business or maybe you just bought a new camera and want to learn how to take better photos of your kids.  Jana and I are BIG advocates of getting your photos correct in-camera first to save you time at the computer later.  We both love photography and want to educate those in the beginning stages technically and artistically.  Learning correctly at the beginning speeds up the process to finding your style and you’ll feel confident creating artistic images.

We invite you to come hang out with us for a fun filled day of knowledge and hands on experience.  We will have a photoshoot set up so you can learn beside us by asking questions and taking photos for your portfolio.  After the shoot, we’ll be showing you our secrets to editing in Photoshop and Lightroom.  You’ll get to try out these techniques on your own photos from that day’s shoot!

For further information, please contact me at photoworkshops101@gmail.com for further details and to reserve your spot!  We have a limited number of seats, so it’s first come first serve.  We hope to see you there!!!
