DFW Senior Portrait Photographer

I got to spend some time with one of my favorite people on the planet recently during a Senior Portrait Session.  My girl Frances Beauchamp is graduating from College next month!  Frances means the world to my family, and it was an honor to be a part of helping her celebrate this momentous occasion!

Not sure I've seen prettier eyes than this girl has.  They match her spirit.  :)

I love using railroad tracks in Senior Portraits.  I think is an apropos illustration of the transition from one world to another.

You would never know by Frances' expression that my assistant and I were dodging bumble bees the size of my nose!  Impressive that we were able to catch a shot at all, much less one where the subject looks so serene!

I was falling off of the railroad tracks trying to balance for these sunset images.  Trying to get the subject in the frame and the sun in just the right spot takes work when you are standing on a balance beam!

As far as Senior Portrait Sessions go, that was sure a fun one.

Congratulations beautiful girl!  I am happy for you and proud of you.  Awesome stuff!

Had the chance to get together with one of my favorite families for a family photography session.  Went to the Dale's home so that we could get pictures with their sweet doggy Peaches.  She is getting pretty old, and the Dale's wanted to make sure that they had some good family portraits with the puppy dog.

Well, no photo shoot with a baby girl is complete without a tutu and some pearls.  Who can resist?

Yes...she's fabulous!

Such a beautiful little family.  I have to admit there are challenges involved with trying to shoot twin toddlers and a dog!  I was being goofy trying to get the babies to smile, and ended up scaring the dog.  The babies would start laughing, and the dog would want to run for the hills.  Funny stuff.  I think we managed to make it work though.  Thanks for including me in on your fun little family.  <3

Sugar and Spice and everything nice!!  I do so love little boys, but I have been shooting nothing but boys boys boys lately.  I was so excited to have a newborn session with little miss Eliana Sapio this past week.

It was so hard to choose favorite images to put on my blog...there were tons of cute ones, but here is what made the cut.

Precious angel with her proud biggest brother Luciano.

How sweet it is.

Mommy and her first girl!  Yea for little girls!!

It was pretty challenging getting a family portrait this time.  Elli and Melissa acted like a perfect ladies, but I can't say the same for my equipment.  My flash had a mind of its own during the family portion of the session.  Throw that in with one sad boy, Leo, one dad ready to head back to work, Rick, and one crazy boy, Luke, and it was not easy to capture this image!  

I really think there are not a lot of sweeter things in the world than Daddy's and their girls.

I bought this hat special for Elli.  I knew she was going to be close to being a Valentines baby, and I wanted to be prepared.  What a little love!

This look says to me "that's right, I'm gonna call the shots around here!"

Just a little prepping for being a Diva.

...and three generations of fabulous women.

Congratulations on the new addition Sapio family.  I love her to pieces already.  I greatly appreciate the opportunity to get my hands on such a precious little thing.  It rules to get to play dress up for a living!

Had a very welcomed change of pace this past weekend.  The Texas Tornado hockey team had a Frisco Miracle League night on Friday.  The Miracle League kids got to be honorary captains, sing The National Anthem, drop the puck, and several other fun things.  It was a cool night, and the kids had an amazing time.  They got to have pucks & sticks autographed after the game too.  The players seemed like some very nice guys...off of the ice!  My favorite part, after seeing the kids get this honor, was just getting to shoot a Hockey game.  I had a great spot between the players benches.  I loved leaning over the boards to shoot, and then having to jump out of the way of players to avoid getting creamed.  Pucks, sticks, and stinky boys flying everywhere...it was very exciting.  I would welcome the opportunity to do that again.  Here are some of my favorite moments and captures from that evening.  Awesome.

Oops, doesn't seem like it's been more than a month since I have posted a blog.  January is data entry time for me.  My least favorite thing about running a business is paperwork.  January is always the time that I have a minute to breath, and can't put off the accounting side for any longer.  Thank goodness that is done...so back to the fun part of a photography business.

Had an exquisite day to do Senior portraits this past weekend.  My dear friend Sarah has the joy of watching her son finish his senior year.  Here is Michael Carey.  He is a really cool and accomplished kid.  I loved getting to shoot portraits of him with his Saxophone.  So amazing.  Wish we had gotten a real concert.  I understand that he is quite brilliant at it.

I absolutely adore shooting sunsets and silhouettes.  This was a cool opportunity to shoot Michael with his sax.  I told him this could be his album cover.  

What I enjoy the most about shooting Senior portraits is the hope, excitement, and the joy in the air.  Ecstatic kids and proud parents.  What an awesome thing to get to be a part of.  Congratulations to the Carey family, and thank you for letting me be a part of this happy occasion in your lives.

Man...It's hard to find the time to blog this time a year.  Crazy, Crazy, Crazy!!  I couldn't resist throwing up these pics of Kaitlyn.  I have been shooting Kaitlyn since she was about 3.  If I was to go dig up our first shoot, I would have to look through my negatives.  Technology is not the only thing that has come a long way since then!  This photography session here in Frisco was to mark Kaitlyn's 14th birthday!  Hard to believe.  What a beautiful girl you are growing into Kait! :)

Frisco Family Photographer

I was blessed enough to shoot the family of one of my dear friends from High School this past week.  Fitting that such an awesome guy would have such an amazing family.  Meet the Christiano's.

Gene, Amanda, Graham & Quinn.

Proud and sopping with personality, big brother Graham.  

...and the insanely adorable baby sister Quinn.  Mom and I had a good time playing dress up with her.  I love my job!  I get to live vicariously through others with all of the fun baby girl stuff.  

Sometimes everyone needs a good scream!

If I hadn't caught that last picture of Quinn being sad, I might have wondered if she ever is.  She gave us loads of good smiles and giggles.  Especially rare for a baby in an evening session.  She did magnificent!

I found myself smiling right along with her while I was editing these images.  What a sweetie.

Thanks for sharing your family with me Gene!  You guys are adorable.  Look forward to getting to hang out with you all again sometime soon.  :)
