Headshots: Nicole & Elise

These two lovely ladies were referred to me by one of my NYC friends.  When Nicole & Elise arrived at my studio the whole place lit up!  They were so fun to have in front of my camera and they kept me laughing with silly stories and jokes all through the shoot.  Thank you girls for coming by!  I’m excited for all the fun shows you’ll be a part of in the next few months!

Portraits: Laura & Mike

When Laura first called me and we shared a 5 minute phone call I immediately knew our shoot was going to be fun.  We hit it off right away and our ideas for their shoot were melding together so well.

I was invited down to their home in Castle Rock in the late afternoon a couple weeks ago.  Laura greeted me at the door and said “First things first…do you want Red or White?”  Ha!  It was so nice to sit and chat with the two of them while we each tasted our delicious glasses of wine.  They gave me a tour of their GORGEOUS home & beautifully landscaped backyard.  It was an ideal setting for their portraits.  I feel so lucky to have been able to spend this time with Laura, Mike & their puppies capturing some intimate images for them – thank you Laura & Mike!

Scrapes, scratches & cuts are a special part of Laura & Mike’s relationship – hence this photo showing off Laura’s beaten up leg .  They are both adventurous Coloradans and when they first met Laura had just endured a weekend of outdoor beating up.  When Mike saw all her battle wounds he was instantly in love;) So when Laura had a biking mishap a couple days before our shoot, instead of thinking “Oh No! These scrapes will be in the photos” she thought “Yes!  Now I have scrapes to show off in our photos!”Their sweet doggie Tupelo.  Named after the Van Morrison song!

Headshots: Katie

Last week Katie came to the studio to have her new headshots taken before she moved to the windy city.  She’s there right now & I can’t wait to hear how she blows all the Chicago Casting Agents away with her new headshots & amazing personality.  It was completely natural when Katie was in front of my camera – my job was easy that day;) Good luck with everything in Chicago Katie!

Maternity Portraits: Lulu

This is Lulu with a baby in her belly.  Lulu & I grew up together starting in middle school when I played the Mad Hatter & she played Tweedle Dum in our production of Alice in Wonderland.  It’s so crazy for me to comprehend that she is about to have her first baby.  Weren’t we just having sleepovers & complaining about math homework?

I am so excited to be an auntie to this little angel when she arrives in a couple months. I love you Lulu!

I guess this little guy could be considered Lulu’s first baby…Tabor is very excited to meet the new addition to the family!

Family Portraits with Tinkerbell

Last Saturday I met this fun family in the early morning at Cheesman Park.  Hester had emailed to let me know her dog would accompany us on our shoot but when I saw this big, beautiful Neapolitan Mastiff walking up with her two smiley owners my excitement escalated!  This gentle giant was an absolute angel during out shoot.  She consistently make us giggle and even grabbed the attention of a local news caster – they were filming their morning newscast from the Cheesman Park Pavilions and Tinkerbell was an impromptu addition to their story!  Thank you Parrot family for starting my Saturday off so well!
