the beautiful ladies of 2010

i know it is already the new year, but i wanted to do a post about the women i have photographed this past year since i started on this new journey that i absolutely LOVE!! these ladies have inspired me, helped me, and made me want to focus on women's and couple's portraiture. i don't think i have previously posted any of these pictures before, and all of them are straight out of camera. they are the shots that didn't make the final cut to editing, but i still love them. i am excited to share a preview of both of my 2010 brides, lynn and amanda, very soon. i have so many ideas and ideas for my photography and sprouting business, and i can't wait to see them come into fruition this year and beyond. here's to a great 2011.
love,

callan: senior 2011

this is my baby sister. it is hard to sum up someone so special and close in a few paragraphs before some pictures that attempt to show a facet of her whole self. callan is seriously the complete package. this girl is beautiful, incredibly creative and self-motivated, smart, outgoing, fashionable, loving, giving, plays sports, sings, plays a wicked harp, and has a great relationship with everyone in our immediate and extended family. she is just good with people like that. i think she is going to be an entrepreneur and excel in whatever she ventures into. this girl is a force to be reckoned with, and i get to call her my sister and my friend. i love you so much cal, and it was an HONOR to take your senior pictures. i can't believe how mature, gorgeous, and just all around great you have grown in the past few years. keep your outlook and joy- it will take you far. this sounds too much like a eulogy or like i will never see you again:) i just want to let everyone know how rockin' you are. much love.
