February Photography Series, Elko Photography

Love to Hate


I'm the mommy to 4 beautiful children.  I love them dearly but sometimes they drive me bonkers.
While contemplating what to photograph this morning I noticed these markers left out. AGAIN.  We have this white board that sits on a table in our living room.  It got put there once to that I could use its magnetic properties do display photographs when I had the studio set up there and it just kinda stayed.  The photographs got moved and then the kids discovered some dry erase markers and it was all over with.  It gets erased, and changed nearly daily.  They loving having it around, and I love seeing their drawings.  Lily however switches up the lids on the rare occasions that she puts the lids back on.  Drives me nuts.  Do you know what gets dry erase marker out of clothing, and table cloths.?.. Nothing.  (So if you know the magic answer please enlighten me!)

Joy in Love, What They Wear

The photography  prompt for today was "What They Wear".  I KNEW that for this one I had to feature my little fashionista. Somedays I'm not sure whose child this is... I'm such a jeans and a t-shirt kinda gal and she wore a bolero jacket, fancy scarf, skinny jeans and boots to school today.  Gotta love this girl.  :)  

Now what she would really like to do is wear a prom dress to school every day.. not gonna happen.  This girl seriously loves her sparkles. 

But it does make today the perfect day to announce my upcoming "Rock the Dress" sessions.  
On two Saturdays this spring, just before the Elko High School Prom, and just before the Spring Creek High School Prom I'm going to hold mini sessions for girls to have a rock star day.  We'll have the studio set up and plenty of room for snacks and hanging out.  Lots of mirrors and access to outlets for your last minute touch ups.  Make a fun day of it with your friends!

Christopher~ Spring Creek High School Senior Photographer

Chris is SO funny!  In one of my initial emails with him he filled out a questionnaire for me so that I could get to know him better.  In his answers he said that one of the things he wanted to remember about this year was Homecoming Cheerleading.  I was trying to figure out how to incorporate a cheerleading uniform and an appropriate location into the shoot we already had planned and the time frame we had.  I laughed so hard when I figured out he was talking about powder puff cheerleading... I had totally forgotten about that.  I've been out of high school longer than I thought I guess. 

 

 

Christopher was a total trooper and followed me all around downtown Elko.  There are some great spots for photos in this little town but they are certainly not all right around the corner from each other!  We also spent some time at St. Joesph's Catholic Church to get some more personal shots as religion is very important to Christopher.

Christopher's Gallery can bee seen HERE.  

More posts coming soon... I will get caught up on my blogging!

Lacy ~ Spring Creek High School Senior

I am SO excited to show you Lacy's Senior portraits today!  Lacy is an amazing young lady full of life and personality, and gorgeous to boot.  We had so much fun shooting in the beautiful light in Lamoille. Seriously, the light was amazing. 

When Lacy contacted me about her portraits she indicated she was hoping for portraits that were laid back and showed off how happy she is this year. 


 

I told you Lacy was fun!

 

 

We had a little visitor on the shoot too. 

Lacy you are beautiful inside and out.  I hope you Senior year is a blast and is the wonderful jumping off point for your future you hope it to be.  

Enjoy a slide-show of Lacy's images here.
