{Senior Session with Ryan}

Friday, February 27, 2009

Had SO much fun capturing Ryan’s Senior photos. This guy had me cracking up the entire session….He sure is hilarious!!! We made our way up and down Western and shot some against the amazing orange wall that a lot of my Seniors are requesting. It was one of those crazy windy Oklahoma days, but we did not let it stop us :) Enjoy your sneak peek, Ryan – and thanks for being so patient for it…..Thanks also for being a trooper and up for any shot I asked of you. You are awesome!

One of my faves below :)

 

Ryan has the coolest glasses!

LOVE this blue background!

Thanks for choosing Art and Soul!

We have had some beautiful weather this week, and today called for some outside fun. After Auburn was done with her Skype date with Aunt Dana in Guatemala  - we headed out for some bubble blowing! She likes to try and blow the side of the wand that bubbles don’t actually come out of…..but, that is alright, she has fun anyway. She is just shy of of two and more like a toddler everyday. Talking up a storm and wanting to be little miss independent. We are taking her to Elmo LIve next week so that is sure to be an adventure! Stay tuned for some MAJOR sneak peeks, I am due for a late night editing marathon tonight :)

I had so much fun capturing Claire’s photos over the weekend! It is funny when I meet a baby and I feel like I already know them….Claire’s wonderful aunt has been my hair stylist for over four years now. She is such a proud aunt and shows me photos of Claire every time I am in for a cut. It was so great to meet Claire, and her wonderful parents. We were able to get some super cute shots of her and I about died when they broke out the baby heels for Claire to wear. It was the most adorable thing ever….Claire is one loved baby girl and you can add me to the list, she stole my heart! Enjoy your sneak peek and thanks so much for choosing Art and Soul for you photos!

and…..a little shout out to the AMAZING Sonja…If any of you are looking for a stylist in the city, she is THE BEST! Contact DK Salon and book with her!!!

Claire has the most expressive eyes!

She was sooo good for us……

Oh, I just love everything about this sweet smile shot….

LOOK AT THOSE HEELS!!!

What an adorable little shirt she had..

Claire had the best bows…..made by her grandmother :)

She kept doing this cute little pose….I loved it…It was like she was giving someone a call :)

When I met Amanda a few months back we just really hit it off. She has a contagious laugh that just makes me smile! I knew we would have a blast working together! She informed me that her fiancee’ was not going to be shy in front of the camera, and she was correct! We had the best time making our way around the Paseo (one of my favorite locations, colorful walls and buildings that make you forget it is not yet Spring…) We did it all….Jumped, blew bubbles, colored the roads with chalk……I just adore these two and am looking soooo forward to their fall wedding!!!! And, AN OUTDOOR WEDDING!!! My FAVORITE!!!! Thanks so much for choosing Art and Soul for your engagement photos…..You two are adorable beyond words!!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS SHOT!

I promised not to mention what happen soon after this shot….My lips are sealed, guys :)

Both the above images just make me happy…..True Love!!!

Snuggle shots….My favorite….

Amanda had one STUNNING ring…

You guessed it….Bubble time!

Just a quick share of this little guy….He totally stole my heart last weekend as I photographed him and 16 other members of his family. We shot an extended family session, but this little guy took the cake…I am a sucker for freckles, and he had some cute ones. He reminded me soooo much of my little brother, Mikey, at this same age. LOTS to share, so keep checking back…..more senior sessions and a SUPER FUN engagement to blog soon….Happy Friday everyone!

Such a fun session capturing Cody’s Senior photos. We headed to the Farmers Market on a windy warm day. Cody is a gymnast and was up for everything….Flipping on of things – jumping all over the place….it was SO FUN TO CAPTURE! He even brought his unicycle!!! He was totally a pro at it and rode it all over the place. I was defiantly impressed! Thanks so much for choosing Art and Soul for your senior photos, Cody! You are so much fun and have such a bright future ahead of you!

Cody sure has some up’s!!!

Love this shot!!!! It is sooooo him!

I love the Farmers Market….

LOVED the UNICYCLE!

An extra long blog post for an extra special couple!!! Last weekend was the wedding of Brian and Angela. Brian is my hubby’s brother and he married his sweet heart on Valentine’s Day! We could not be more thrilled to welcome, Angela, Mariah, and Zoe into the Porch Family! It was such a fun evening!!!!! A lot of dancing, laughing, and even some happy tears….These photos are so special to me because they are filled with so many people I love. Not only did I gain a wonderful sister-in-law but two amazing nieces to love and spoil! They all mean the world to us…..Thank you guys for the honor of capturing your day. It was truly so special. I can’t wait for all the fun times ahead…..I see lots of camping trips in our future with all the girls!!! We love you guys so very much!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day of love! Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone!!! Here are a few recent shots of our little Valentine! This is the first mini-session she really understood what we were doing. I told her we were going to take some pictures, and she really did a great job for her mommy :) We got the big smiles from her by telling her to yell people she loves…..She started yelling “papa, grams, pappy, grandma, mikey, zoe……” and the list went on and on….I just love her to pieces….

Happy Valentine’s to All!

She LOVES her heart-shaped glasses…She has worn them everyday since we took these photos…

Custom canvas wraps are one of my favorite products….I love seeing the image that my clients choose to display on canvas. February has been a busy month for wraps and I love seeing the stack that the post man brings :) This one caught my eye today, and just had to share. If you would like to see your image from a previous or upcoming session on canvas, just let me know!
