a little bit hippie...

This model found me on model mayhem. We've been messaging eachother for over a month and finally we got to shoot today. We clicked right away and had such a good time during this shoot!! Thank goodness with all that fun we were able to get some nice shots!!

More of the some kind of wonderland shoot

Here are a few more from my "some kind of wonderland" shoot. Yohe was a "joy" to work with, and it was fun to be able to be a little more creative!! Enjoy!

Alice in Wonderland

So who didn't love the quirkiness of Alice in Wonderland when you were a kid? I know it was a movie that i didn't truly get as a kid, and honestly don't really get it now..but there was always something so magical about it. Now with the Tim Burton version out in theatres i've noticed alot of Wonderland inspired shoots so i wanted to try my hand at it. I love taking a concept and making it my own and with the help of a very creative model i was able to recreate my own Wonderland. Here are a few that i've edited so far. This model Yohelisa styled herself and added her own "Alice" elements into her outfits. This was definitely a fun shoot to do and I look forward to editing more of these!

Yay..i came back to blog today..

So today i want to talk about insipiration. As a photographer we draw inspiration from all over the place. I can be driving down the road and see something that will make me stop and take pictures on the spot. Or it can be in the form of other artists. A friend of mine put me on to this incredible blog... http://colormekatie.blogspot.com/ this extremely creative, child like, little lady makes you want to just live in her world for a day. The way she looks at life and tries to change the negatives into positives is so infectious that i could look at her blog all day!! She makes me want to start cutting up paper and just redecorating my entire world to look a little happier, a little brighter. Thank goodness for creative people...they can make you look at the world in such a different light!!

Another form of creativity is music. This 16 year old is determined to teach herself to play this guitar and has already done an amazing job with it. I love seeing youth finding what their passion is at such a young age..

So sorry...

It has been hard to keep up with blogs, and facebook, and websites...i haven't been able to work on this blog as much as i've wanted to. But looking at it i see how proud i am of my work. I need to keep up with this to show my clients what i can do, how much pride i take in capturing their lives. So I will try my absolute best to keep up with this, update with pictures and specials i am running. And hopefully in time I will get a good following on here. My clients will use this to share with their families the pictures that make them so happy. Thanks for those who have checked up on here to see if i've updated...i hope i don't disappoint you..

Here is my share for the day...my youngest's 5th birthday...i just love this capture!
