It's still Senior season folks! I am still booking class of 2009 kids for photos for announcements. It is officially too late to get you pro photo in the yearbook, but you can still book for memorabilia photos for family.

This is Mary, and she is gorgeous! And she is very adventurous too :) We had to trespass on private property to get some of her shots- but, that's just how I roll when I'm inspired ;) She was totally on board.

A Break in the Weather

It has been cold and foggy around here for what seems like an eternity. But I was pleased that the clouds (or what could be called high fog) broke for long enough on Wednesday to shoot this adorable bunch of munchkins. They seemed to have a good time just being out of the house and playing around at the park. Mom claims that taking pictures of them is usually chaotic- but I guess I got lucky, cause they were WONDERFUL for me :-D

Little Isaiah has the cutest "CHEESE" face I have ever seen!

Deep In The Hundred Acre Wood......

My Niece, Ivy, turned one today. Her party was on Sunday, and there was Pooh everywhere! (come on guys- don't be dirty!) Winnie that is!

Her mom made some super cute- Classic Pooh decorations and party hats. The kids played "Pin-the-tail-on Eeyore" and had peanut butter and honey sandwiches.

Ivy is SO cute (especially with her head band that her aunt Shae made her on :) and it was one of those days where i found my settings to be perfect, and the shots were turning out great.

And it's always fun to have the whole fam under one roof! Crazy- but fun :)

I have been trying to post more photos on here for hours- but Blogger is not cooperating..... so I will add them tomorrow.

HAPPY BIG ONE IVY!!!

4th photo

Friday.....

Well Beth decided that she is going to post every Thursday- so I guess I will post every Friday (crossing my fingers and knocking on wood).

We survived the Holidays, and things are getting back on track! Yay!

I have a few more shoots lined up for this month, then I am going to really focus on building my digital portfolio. By digital, I mean that my previous one was film. So I guess I should move into the 21st century, and update my marketing :).

I will be looking to book shoots for the second half of February- so if you are a slacking Sr., or need shots for birthday invites, or are planning a spring wedding or delivery, or just need to update the photo's on the wall, start booking today! 541-580-7423, or email me with your booking request and i will get back to you - xe1000@hotmail.com.

So that's the update for now- i promise i will get my price guide up this weekend. I just have some revamping to do for 2009.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the allegedly impending sunshine ;)

Starting out-- the new year!

I tried to start a Blog once before.
I guess I'm a better Blog-Stalker, than Blogger.
But my New Year Resolution (or whatever...) is to promote myself as i should. I can't gain ground and achieve my goals if I sit idle and wait for them to come to me. So..... here we go people--- Happy 2009!

I have been Photographing professionally for 7 years. I have shot countless weddings, school, Holiday, Maternity, Babies, Kids, Birth, Engagement, and Special Occasion sessions. I am in love with Creation, and I enjoy Landscape photography very much! I also love fashion, and I am a painter at heart- so my Photography is "Artsy and Edgy and Modern". I abstain from monotony, and, therefore, try not to overbook myself. My drive is to make each shoot be unique from another. Also, to fit the shoot to the subject. I want my Photography to tell a story.

So that is a little about me and my style. I will soon be posting pricing and contractual details.
While I do enjoy shooting people- I have no desire to have a studio at this time. I LOVE shooting on location! I would much rather shoot outdoors, or in your own home- where you feel comfortable!

Thanks for checking out my new space! I also have an online Landscape gallery at http://www.xe1000.hipikats.com/.

*here's some of my Bebes! .... and- yes -- i am addicted to vingetting :)*
