abby + charles {senior ball}

My beautiful niece Abby had her High School Senior Ball about a week ago. I can’t believe she is getting ready to graduate and go on to college. So glad Beth and I could be there to photograph some portraits of her and her friends. This is by far my favorite of the evening…

Isn’t this a great looking bunch? Loving all of the different colors the girls wore. Love you Abby, you look gorgeous!

winter semi formal {photo party}

I’ve added a new “photo booth” service as an a la carte option for my 2010 clients. It’s brand new service, so we thought we would try it out last weekend. My niece invited her friends over to my house for a little pre-dance photo party, before they headed out for a great night at their high school semi formal. Beth (my sister/ studio manager) brought over a box full of super fun props. The photo booth was a big hit with the kids, and some of the parents even joined in the fun. Contact Abby for the Event Key (password). So sit back and enjoy the preview of my new photo booth service available for weddings and events.

greco {the gecko}

As promised, a special feature of the darling girl…Greco the Gecko…. sounds a bit like a circus introduction. Well she is certainly colorful enough for a circus…

Greco belongs to Charles who I recently photographed for his senior portrait. I was so smitten with her, I had to do some portraits of her too. I love Greco’s adorable little hand-foot juxtaposed with Charles’ thumb…

Greco is a little bit shy, but she did come and give me a sweet smile…

Gave me permission for a close up… look how cool her eyes are…

Then like a movie star asked about her personal life, Greco’s session was over, as she made a mad dash for her trailer (well in this case, it was actually a little fake stump that she calls home)…

In all seriousness, geckos require a certain body temperature, and we wanted to make sure that she didn’t get too cold. So Charles’ mom, volunteered to take her home. She was loaded up into her box…

Like a real star, this girl knows how to make an exit…

Killing me! Dead from too much critter love.

Big thanks to Charles and his mom Christa!

charles {senior portrait: central new york}

Several important transitions have gone unmarked on my blog… summer is officially over, school is in session, the senior portrait season is winding down, and football season has started. Meet Charles a 2010 senior and… a BIG Colts fan…

Whether I’m photographing weddings or portraits, I love exploring the same subject with multiple perspectives. Here is a fun black and white candid of Charles…

If you are familiar with my work, you know I love to throw in some fun processing. I love this digital action that takes inspiration from faded photographs from the 1970s.

I confess, I had a secret weapon for Charles’s photo session… I brought his beautiful girlfriend (aka my beautiful niece) Abby, along for the fun. Aaaaaa•Dooooor•Aaaaa•Bllllllllle…

Charles has those classic good looks. I think that may contribute to the timeless feel of this next shot…

Wait a minute! Charles brought along an awesome “prop”…. his beautiful gecko… Greco!

I am so enamored with Greco the gecko, that I’m going to give her own blog post in the near future. For now, I leave you with this super fun shot…

Thanks Charles (and Greco)… you’re (both) awesome!

abby & charles {junior prom}

Half of this group had to run at track meets the afternoon of their junior prom! I’m so impressed that not only did everyone get showered, but they looked AWESOME!

The girls were gorgeous in their stunning gowns; and the guys were rocking the tuxedos!

I had such a great time photographing these amazing teens! I would like to send out a special thank you to our gracious hosts Donna and Mike. Mike did a lovely job manicuring the lawn for us.

I hope you enjoy this slide show!

senior cards {new products}

Have I told you that I’m in the process of designing a new website? These things always take so much longer than I expect or want them to. In the end, I’m hoping it will all be worth it. One of the new features that I will have on my new site, is a product gallery.

Attention Parents…. I’m very excited that I can now offer you press printed senior announcement and invitations cards.

I have five great templates, with customizable text. Here are a few examples:

abby’s semi-formal

Last night, my beautiful niece, Abby, had her semi-formal high school dance. I thought it was so sweet that she asked me to come and take a few snaps of her and her friends. They all looked so great, and seemed like such a fun group.
