Team Work!

Everyone likes to be congratulated by your team mates on a job well done! Such is the case here. This is a great example of how a team sticks together no matter what the outcome of the game.

Up Close and Personal!

Here's a favorite shot from one of the recent Ravenswood Red Devil Games! I like it because it almost makes me feel like I'm playing the game along with the team!

Angel in Black and White

This little angel did a beautiful job posing for her first portraits a couple of evenings ago! We got some wonderful family shots as well as shots of the newborn by herself! This is just one of my many favorites!

Senior Elegance!

Here's one of my many favorites from our weekend senior shoot. Our subject opted to wear her prom dress for a different kind of image. The Scene Machine provided a warm room background coupled with dramatic studio lighting for this elegant portrait of a lovely young lady!

Princess For a Day!

Here's our fourth, and final, post from our Tell Me a Story session. I chose a closeup because all of our previous images have been 3/4 to full shots. The wrought iron steps provided a great contrasting element to the scene as well as a wonderful posing tool!

Special Angel

Here's number 3 post (of 4) from our fantasy portraits...angel division! We had a great time with these..we have hundreds of backgrounds and can change looks very quickly! Let me know what you think! Also, see previous posts!

Catch a Butterfly!

Here's the second image from our Tell Me A Story fantasy session. I love the colors of fall and this image showcases them! See the previous post for more!

Backlit Beauty

I simply couldn't resist this fantastic background in the 100+ year-old church! The pipe organ serves as a great contrasting element to highlight our backlit couple! Notice how the light "rims out" the bride and groom as they look into each other's eyes! More to come...

Happy Couple!

This a one very happy couple, indeed! This image will be used on their DVD cover somewhere..it's gorgeous and the warm tone of the image truely represents the happiness of their special day!

Player in Red

This image is one of my favorites from our recent senior session! It packs a punch in black and white with the touch of red thrown in! See what you think!

A Great Big Thank You!

As I was photographing this young member of our United States Navy this weekend, I thought about what a debt of gratitude we owe these brave men and women who fight to keep us free! The young woman in this image has served in Iraq and it was an honor to create this image for her and for her family!

Family Portrait

This is one of the first images taken in our small outdoor portrait area. It's an area for all seasons due to the fact that it is surrounded by evergreens that don't lose their leaves all year..making it a perfect venue choice! I love the placement of this family in the image and the softness of the background...a true summer's end portrait!
