Personal Project = Fun

So any time I get an urge to just shoot...I call on family members. 

I'm incredibly lucky to have some GORGEOUS family members. 

Family like Alicia.

 I really really wanted to do a session that had zero stress. One I could just experiment with and have fun with. So I called Alicia.

Luckily she's always game for a photoshoot. 

I got to her house SUPER early. 

We did her hair and make-up. 

And we went up to her roof to shoot.

I absolutely adore her rooftop.

It makes me happy and makes me want to live in the city.

Really bad.

 

 

Oh and something about Alicia? 

These are HER eyelashes. 

Not a single fake lash.

Amazing huh?

Yup, we can all be jealous.

I've decided fashion/seniors are probably my favorite thing to shoot.

I completely changed my style of editing with this session and I think I'm in love. 

I think as an artist it's important to stretch ourselves and try new things.

To never become complacent in our craft.

But instead always continually learning and moving forward.

That's what I love about personal projects.

It gives you an opportunity to just be free. 

To not have to worry about time frames or specific poses... 

To just let loose, pose your subject and create what is purely and uniquely you.

So Alicia my dear...thank you for being my model. 

You are truly stunning. 

Both inside and out. 

And it shows.

 

HAPPY 100th POST!!!

Wow! 100 posts! I look back at my first few pics and oh goodness...have I come a long way. :) I know every photographer feels that way but it's so so true. And I have a looooooooong way to go.

So after posting Alicia's pictures I completely forgot about poor Angelee, Alicia's older sister. Angelee is just as gorgeous and Alica and every bit as photogenic. Honestly...every single one of the kids in this family could model. I'm doing their family pics in June and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.

So Angelee...here are your pics you beautiful girl. :)



And ps...this girl can rock a serious face. I can't. I look like I'm trying to not laugh at a silly joke. Whoops...




And we had to throw one in of both of them. Cherie...we missed you! We'll get one with all 3 of you in June. :)



Love you girls!

Real Sneak Peak This Time...

Ok. So Alicia. Alicia is my husband's cousin. I've said it before and I'll say it again...I married into a GORGEOUS family. Seriously. It was soooooo hard picking out the pics for the post because I just wanted to post every single one of them. Hope you like 'em Alicia and family... And PS...everyone, feel free to leave comments! :)
