    the cast girls

    One of my favorite, long time friends (thats 15 years of friendship over miles and a TON of life events) was up for the playgroup BBQ (pix on that soon) this summer and I got to do their annual pictures. Celeste was going for an “urban chic” feel- hence the pictures in the middle of the street. We had to dodge a few cars but we got it done (in record time I might add) and left for lots of fun at the BBQ. You are all fierce as hell, ladies!

    braces be gone

    On the one month anniversary of getting them off (yes, I’m THAT behind on editing!) after 5.5 loooooooooong years of many, many appointments, I’m finally posting the before and afters of Jack & Patrick’s braces. We were all so happy to get them off. So freaking happy!!!

    Jack on the left, Patrick on the right the morning of the getting them off appointment.Last time with braces, ever.

    Jack on the left, Patrick on the right after getting the braces off. Such a difference!! I’m still getting used to it a month later. March 2009- September 2014. Jack.
    Patrick. They look like completely different people, but still sorta the same.And now we get started with Timmy. It had better not be another 5 years. I can’t take it.

    erin @ gymnastics

    Always wanted to try my hand (my lens?) at dance or gymnastics photography since I find both so much fun to watch. Luckily, my friends daughter is a gymnast so I snuck into a meet (actually 2 meets) between client sessions and got to shoot for a while. I learned some stuff- the first being this is way harder than I thought! The lighting is tough, catching the action without knowing the routine (especially on floor) is difficult, and that Erin is even more amazing to watch in person!   Vault was the first event, and I only caught that first pic- utter concentration, love it. Beam made my palms SWEAT while watching/photographing. 

    Floor is my favorite. This girl rocks it!! I, however, need to get better at capturing the big moves. She got so many medals, I lost track. (1st for floor). But I liked her expression in these.  I need more practice, but I hope you liked what I did manage to get.

    jack’s headshots

    It was time for some updated headshots for this young man. He’s an actor/dancer/singer and takes direction so well (from much experience) so he’s really easy to work with. His mom and I keep the same kind of crazy hours so we scheduled this session during one of our 2am nights- so glad there are other nuts like me out there! Good luck on your career, Jack! Happy I’ll get to say “i knew him when…”

    Andrea needed some headshots taken and I was so happy she chose me to do them for her. Figured out we had a bunch of high school friends in common (sometimes I really do live in my very own universe) and our sons play on the same Little League team (ok, that part I knew). More posts coming to the blog this week, stay tuned.
