True Beauty {Houston Photographer}

August 8, 2009

My mom always told me that it was more important to be pretty on the inside than pretty on the outside. Well, this girl has the best of both! I’ve known Ms. Chelsea for the last 16 years - she is still as beautiful now on the inside and outside as she was in elementary school when she and my little brother were “going out”. Her dad has always been one of my favorite teachers. In fact, he liked my class so much that he just moved up grades as we did. I had him every year, begining with 6th grade social studies thru Senior Government & Economics! The year after I graduated from HS her family moved to the Houston area. I was thrilled that she asked me to take some pictures for her this summer! Her boyfriend is at the Naval Accademy and she wanted to send him something special! I was happy to oblige! Here’s a small peek from our session yesterday! It was a hot, miserable day in downtown, but we still had fun! I hope you enjoy these Chelsea and I can’t wait to do our night session!!

I Heart Faces - Week 20!

May 27, 2009

I was soo excited when I saw the theme for Week 20! I immediately had the perfect image ready to go! I took this of my little brother last year just before he graduated from High School. Our house faced the East and we were able to witness the most beautiful sunrises! I truly miss living in the panhandle! We were up bright and early to capture this shot, but it was worth the missed zzzz’s! Except for a slight crop and resize, this image is SOOC and one of my favorite pictures I’ve ever taken!

Coolest Teen Ever { Perryton, Texas Senior Photographer}

November 27, 2008

Meet Ali. She’s one of the coolest teens ever - sure she’s into boys and whatnot, but she’s also into photography! A girl after my own heart! I took her out today to play around with my camera and get a personal lesson in iso, ss, fstop and all the other fun rules of photography. Bless her heart, I think I took her home so confused While we were out I took a few pictures of her. She looks a bit different from the last time we took pictures. Wow, what a difference a year makes!

I hope you enjoy the sneak peek Ali and I hope even more that you have fun playing with my camera tomorrow… just don’t forget to bring it back

Jan: Love her glasses! Love your processing on the last 2. How fun to share your love of photography with such a willing subject!

Kim Griffith: lovely shots that first one is just stunning!

Hello Nurse! {League City, Texas Photographer}

April 16, 2008

I had the pleasure of photographing Ms. S this afternoon in her cap and gown. In just a few weeks, she’ll be a proud graduate of ACC’s Licensed Vocational Nurse program. She has worked very hard to accompolish her goals and I’m very proud of her! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Cowboy up Lil Brother! {Perryton, Texas Senior Photographer}

April 15, 2008

It’s hard to believe, but my little brother is a SENIOR this year!! It really doesn’t seem like *that* long ago that I was dressing him up in my cabbage patch clothes or walking around singing the buddy song with him! Gordo definitely walks to the beat of his own unique drum, but I still love him all the same. A few weeks ago we walked the streets of Gruene, Tx together taking some senior shots…. Talk about a challenge - I think brothers who suffer from senior-itis may be the most difficult clients, ever. Just kidding - it wasn’t so bad! We had a good time and I’m glad he was such a trooper!

-Sarah-

Sorry Gordo, but there needed to be some embarrassing pictures in this post - but don’t feel too bad since you can see what I looked like too!!

Just a few hours old

Such a cute Dolphin Fan

Missie: Ohhh... beautiful pictures!
And, I think you look like your Mom! And, Aiden's boo-boo... poor guy, hope he is feeling better. Lauren's lip healed greatly and no more bruising.

My computer is finally up and running again - thankfully it was just an issue with the processor! I had no idea how lost I would feel without it - It wasn’t enough to just have internet access - I felt so imcomplete with out my pictures or photoshop!! I have several sessions to get edited and uploaded, but I thought you’d at least like a sneak peek since you’ve waited so patiently!

My brother, Gordon. It’s really hard for me to believe that he’s a senior this year!

Mr. Wyatt - such a doll

Some fun seniors!

Wild and Crazy Senior Girls {Perryton, Texas Senior Photographer}

October 23, 2007

I decided to do something crazy and took 3 highschool seniors out for a photoshoot. How hard could it be, right? Well, I tell the ring leader that they should bring a few changes of clothes and they show up at my house with SUITCASES! These gals had more shoes and accessories than any senior I’ve ever photographed! We took a drive down to scenic Canadian and really had fun together. So thanks for the great day ladies! I hope you enjoy your pictures!
