conor

i took the majority of conor's graduate photos this past summer (he was the one with the really cool restored car--visit the website's gallery to check it our if you missed it), but we really needed some in the snow for my snowboarding brother-in-law, so we patiently waited for some powder and here are a few of the results!

 i am pretty surprised that he was able to pull off some of these relaxed, "serious" faces, especially when the person behind the camera was awkwardly squating above the snow drifts to get a great angle while simultaneously keeping their bottom warm and dry......which didn't work out the entire time.....

 okay girlios, get ready to swoon because you are now entering.....dimple city!!! love it--definitely my favorite--and i think mom's too :)

only in the winter can you get shots like these

thanks conor, for enduring the awkward snow drift hovering and for not laughing when i slipped and fell on the ice....too hard :)

peace, love, and happy photography!

zoe

zoe will be graduating this year, and what do we do to celebrate? take photos.  lots and lots and lots of photos.  i asked zoe to do some "modeling" for me this summer so that i could play around with some of my crazy ideas.  i must have done something right because she came back for more last week!--she needed some photos with Tucker (the cute dog you see below), her trombone, and pointe shoes :) 

 this next group of photos is from our session earlier this summer and i couldn't resist reposting them (they were on the old blog).  it was very hard to narrow down because i have so many favorites from this session. soooo in case you didn't get a chance to see these the first time you get to now!! zoe was such a good sport, following me all over the countryside and through some old cowpie-filled abandoned farmsteads...  :)

i already said this once before, and i'm going to again......what a natural beauty.  seriously. seriously.  (i don't think this girl wears any makeup)

AND this last photo is probably one of my top favorites i've ever taken.  and i have a lot of favorites, as you can probably guess by now :)  l.o.v.e. it.   large canvas print?  yes please.

sometimes it's nice to have a photograph of someone.  but sometimes its nicer to have a photograph of who someone is.

peace, love, and happy photography!
