~Beauty~

April 27, 2010 – 10:43 pm

The older I get, the more I appreciate my beauty.  Now, I REALLY appreciate the beauty I had at 18 and 21, but I appreciate the 34-year old me now too; it’s older, more overweight, I’m starting to wrinkle, but the big difference is now I know my worth.  I had very little confidence when I was at my fittest, thinnest, and youngest.  But, alas, I think that’s all part of growing up.

Today, I had a senior session with a beautiful high school senior.  She started out shy, but soon enough became more relaxed as we went along.  Everytime I meet one of these gorgeous girls I start to preach, preach, preach about how beautiful they are and how they should embrace it.  They probably want to yell, “just take the picture, Lady!”  I just feel obligated to encourage them to own their beauty, to stand confident, and to embrace all that they are.  Today’s young lady was a beauty indeed.  I hope when she sees these images she can see the beauty that I saw through my lens.

P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)

March 23, 2010 – 9:55 pm

Today’s beautiful high school senior may not know that this is a Michael Jackson song from the 80’s.  I was talking to her about music at the session and realized I AM OFFICIALLY OLD!  ;-)  At the risk of sounding old again, I had to use this title because I felt it perfectly described her!  Some of you may have to visit YouTube after reading this post.  :-)

I had a GREAT time photographing her this afternoon.  She was accompanied by her lovely mother who looked more like her sister!  I was amazed at this young girl’s talent, intelligence, and beauty.  I only wish I would have been as confident and poised as she is when I was her age.  I enjoyed learning about how she TAUGHT HERSELF how to play guitar and what her plans are for the future.  Aww, to be young again and have the world at your hands.  It’s such an exciting time.  Enjoy it!

And thank you again, P.Y.T., for allowing me to capture your beautiful spirit.  May you follow your dreams and fullfill your greatest desires.  With that wonderfully supportive and loving Mom at your side, the sky is the limit!

~Peace, Love, Joy & Abundance~

“Hey, Bruhdah…”

March 18, 2010 – 6:47 pm

“Bruhdah…hey, Bruhdah,” that’s how my 6-year old calls out for his “bruhdah” aka “brother.”  He’s been calling him that since he was 3 and I imagine he’ll always refer to him this way.  It makes me smile each time I hear him. 

This afternoon I had the chance to spend some time with these handsome young men who are brothers/best friends.  It was funny to watch them tease each other and joke around.  I felt like I was catching a glimpse of how my boys will be in the future.  I realized that the dynamics of big brother/little brother never really change–older brother taunts younger brother, younger brother gets annoyed–all in good fun.  And beneath all the teasing, you can see the strong bond. As a mother of boys, when I think of the brotherly bond it gives me comfort to know that they will forever have each other, that they have a best friend for life, someone who will always have their back.   What an incredible gift!  Thank you, Fellas, for allowing me to capture memories of this awesome bond you share. 

Mom, you “done” good. ;-)

Beauty AND Brains (High School Senior Photography, Sugar Land, TX, Katy, TX)

October 3, 2009 – 9:33 pm

Today I had the opportunity to shoot this gorgeous young lady.  What I loved about her is that not only is she beautiful, she is incredibly smart.  Photographing her made me think of my own daughter.  It made me hope that one day my little ladybug will grow up to be as comfortable in her skin as she.  Beauty AND Brains–the whole package.  Best of luck to you with your future, Sweet Girl.  The world is yours!

Soulful Seniors

September 19, 2009 – 12:55 pm

I often get asked if I am willing to do Senior Portraits.  The answer is “yes!”  I really enjoy this age group.  I remember back to my teenage years–trying to figure out what direction my life would take, figuring out my style, trying to set myself apart from the rest of the crowd.  It can be an awkward time in life, but it can also be one of the most creative & fun.  My goal with Seniors is to capture funky, fresh, soulful images that are true to their personality, style, and spirit.  As always, I want to capture who they are at this moment in time.  So leave behind all cheesy poses at home and get ready to have some fun!

Peace, Love, Joy, and Abundance!
