All the 9 of us...

   Sunday started out as a soggy, gray, do not go outside sort of day. But, I had a photo shoot planned for 4:00 that afternoon! The clouds rolled away and it ended up being just beautiful outside so I headed down to one of my favorite locations, the Myriad gardens in downtown OKC.  I made my traditional stop at Starbucks for some "keeping up with the kiddos" energy. The I arrived at the gardens a bit early, so I did a few artistic shots of myself that I can use for promotion for my small business.
   My clients arrived, a family of nine, and we started in on our adventure. It was mom and dad, 6 kiddos, and a grand baby. I found that while I was planning for this session I was trying to really come up with some new and creative things to do in the gardens. When you have shot in the same location so many times, it can begin to feel like you are just repeating yourself, and I am not OK with that. So, I did do a few of the same poses that I have previously done, but tried to be original with this one. I always want to be challenging myself and growing as a photographer.
   It was a great over all shoot. The kids did so well, that 11 month old baby did amazing! I was impressed! Post nap is definitely the best time for babies. I am proud of these photos, and I hope that the family treasures them for many, many years to come... Here are a few of my favorites...

Promo for PROM

Dear all you lucky dogs out there that are still in high school,
   I would love to be your pre-PROM photographer! It is only $100 per hour for an on location shoot. (HINT: if you have 3 other buddies there, that is only $25 a piece per hour!) As nostalgic as that cheesy photo is with the fake stars in it will be that you will take at the actual prom, my photos will be a bit more of a beautiful keepsake for you and your family. Prom is such a fun time in life, and I would love to be there to help you capture those moments. Enjoy some of my previous pre-PROM sessions... and please pass this on to anyone who may be interested! Thanks!

Cousins...

   Saturday I had the privilege of doing a shoot of three cute cousins. We met at the beautiful Myriad gardens in downtown OKC. Side note... I drove on the new highway for the first time. In a weird way it made me feel like I was in a new city! It was also nice to not fear for my life as I drove downtown. ;)
   Back to the blog about the actual shoot... Myriad gardens, on a little bit of a chilly Saturday, I met three cute kiddos that were willing to brave the chilliness for some photos. The mom styled this little ones so well. The brilliant blue popped so well against the natural hues of the beautiful garden area. It was a lot of fun, and I am so grateful for my chance to do this shoot. Here are a few...
