Here comes wedding season! With the weather earlier this week, it was amazing we were able to pull this shoot off! My photographer friend Jessica had a great idea to jump start our creativity for the kick off of the season...she found the couples, McNamara donated the flowers and the hail/sleet/rain parted for about 45 minutes so we could actually shoot outside!!! I love the new locations and mixing the beauty of a couple in love with the urban backgrounds too!
Last year I had the honor of photographing my brother and his friends before Prom, and this year I had the pleasure of photographing them at Prom. It has been awhile...years actually...since I had seen a prom photo, and I had a feeling my old prom photos weren't the best to revisit for ideas! So, I went with what I would want if it were my prom all over again. I love the way the backdrop turned out, and can't wait to use it in more portraits. Also, the prom committee was excited when I mentioned the idea of having a "photobooth" available. And, I am so beyond thrilled that we did it! This is something I am starting to have available at weddings and such and thought it would be great for Prom as well. So, with a James Bond Diamonds are Forever theme of course we had to add some props! Here are a few of my faves...
And, my sister Courtney is the beauty in the green...
It's that time of year again! College applications are being thought about, Prom is around the corner, and Senior Year is on the horizon. These 3 lovely ladies...Maddie, Lydia & Samantha...came out to help me explore some new locations I had wanted to shoot at. We had a beautiful day, a lot to chat about and they were real troopers! I had such a hard time narrowing it down! So, prepare to be dazzled by these ladies! 
You may remember these two from last season's Mini Boden photoshoot. I was so happy when their mom got in touch again because it was trunk show time! Gracie and Claire were so brave today while bearing the cold! We pretended we were in Florida on the beach! We shot a few outdoors, then quickly went in where the girls showed me all around their rooms. They are so fun to photograph and we even got a few shots of their new baby brother, Quinn, also sporting Mini Boden...
P.S. Mini Boden is one of the clothing lines I highly recommend for photoshoot attire!!!!! Everything is so cute!Hello there! Sorry for my absence on the blog last week. As you know, I was off in Atlanta participating in a children's photography workshop called Learnfest. It was an action packed amazing 3 days with 4 of the country's top children's photographers...Audrey Woulard in Chicago, Tamara Lackey in Durham, NC, Laura Novak in Wilmington, DE and Lena Hyde in Palm Beach. Each of these ladies comes from a different school of thought, yet incorporate a lot of the same ideals into their businesses. My notebook is packed with ideas that I can't wait to implement into SMP! In addition to learning from these fabulous ladies, I had a chance to get to know other photographers all over the country. I made friends for life and am looking forward to following their businesses as well!
Just as I am feeling caught up from Thailand, I am off to Atlanta this coming Monday through Thursday to attend an incredible workshop! Learnfest is a 3 day/3 night program put on by 4 of the country's top children's photographers, as well as a gathering of creative types to meet, share stories, inspire and have fun. When the workshop went on sale I sat at the computer and hit "refresh" so many times to be sure I was able to sign up and get in it. So, after much anticipation, I cannot believe it is finally here!
