Alexis - Class of 2013 - My daughter's senior pictures

I finally got to photograph my own daughter yesterday.  We managed to get some great photos using the bazillion outfits she wanted to use.  I will admit though they turned out wonderful and I am such proud mom. I just cannot believe she will be graduating this year.

Silly, Crazy & Wild - Sunday Sketch - Layout Share

I got an email from Studio Calico to create a layout based on one of their sketches, I of course jumped on the opportunity and loved it.

Please go check it out on their blog: Studio Calico - Sunday Sketch

When I saw this sketch I knew this one would be perfect for these pictures of my oldest daughter.  I like how the banners and sentiment provided a base for the pictures to rest on.  I added a few more banners for depth and then tucked the pictures under a banner and used diecuts to create the title, turning them all slightly, so they would sit as silly as she is in the pictures. I also really liked Maggie's doodle around the edge of the card and her arrows, but instead of using just a pen since this is a bigger scale I decided to cut one of the patter papers from the kit into to strips and then I mitered the edges together, to give it a little extra detail, then sewed around the whole thing and did a zig zag stitch on all the mitered corners.  I added the chevron pieces that I cut from another sheet of the pattern paper to follow along with her arrows that she had hand drawn.  Instead of doing the three stars like the sketch I decided to change it up a bit and use some of the brads, sequins and rhinestone stars that came in the kit to make three small clusters instead.

Supplies: Sock Hop, Leather Jacket & Penny Loafers kits

Playing Catch Up

Yep, that's what I need to do. I have not been keeping up with my blog and I am really regretting it. So I'm going to go back a few sessions and start fresh. LOL. So here is an older session that I did back in June. A mini session with a soon to be 16yr old, the results led to a really cute dinner invitation.

Senior Session - The Woodlands

I had the pleasure this past Saturday to photograph Miss N, she's a senior this year. She was up for all the funky and fun stuff I could come up with...take a little sneak peek.

Connie's Kids - Teens and Family Photography - Spring, Texas

I had the pleasure of shooting two great teens this past Saturday. I've done some work for their mom a few times and this was a chance to do some fun shots of her kids. They were a lot of fun to shoot.

Enjoy the sneak peek!

A really fun shoot.....

This is Sara, she just graduated from high school and is already taking college classes. She was so easy to photograph and she was such a willing subject. She was amazing, the natural look she has just set the mood for all of these shots. My personal favorite are all the ones in the black dress with pink and black tights, I'm so partial to the Urban Edgy Artistic Look.

Here are a couple of my favorites, it was so hard to narrow it down.

I had to bribe her with driving my car in the parking lot....

in order to get her to be my model. She is so photogenic but hates being my model. I usually walk everynight with my friend at the junior high school by our house and I've been seeing this shed and wall there everynight and I kept telling myself I got to get Alexis out here for a shoot. Luckily she finally agreed as long as I let her drive my car around in the parking lot. It worked I got some great shots.

I would love to hear any comments you have.
