{natural beauty….senior ‘09}

Thursday, March 19, 2009

I have known Gabby for almost four years now and was so excited to capture her senior photos. Gabby decided she really wanted an earthy feel to her photos so we headed out to one of my favorite areas to shoot near Lake Hefner.  The weather was AMAZING, we could not have asked for a more perfect afternoon. Gabby had the perfect outfits for her session and I was truly blown away by her beauty. We had the best time on her session, and I am in LOVE with the photos. Enjoy your sneak peek, Gabby, and hope your Spring Break trip to Georgia is going great! You are the best!!!! Can’t wait for you to see your entire gallery!!!

IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOT….Gabby ROCKED it on this tree! And, climbing in a dress, not so easy!

amazing eyes…..

LOVED her shot in the shades!

 

Bailey was so much fun to work with!!!! She is truly a photographers dream!! We had so much fun exploring downtown and finding new and funky places to shoot.  One of the secrets of great senior photos is to just be yourself and have fun, Bailey mastered this so well….She was up for anything and brought some fun outfits to shoot in. It was so great meeting you and your mom, Bailey…You are so talented and beautiful, I know your future will be nothing but bright! Thanks so much for choosing Art and Soul for your senior photos…Have a great rest of your senior year!

I LOVE shooting in Urban places…..Makes me smile!

When this is the first shot I got of the day, I knew it was going to be a GREAT session!

LOVE this shot!

I had the pleasure of meeting little six month old Brady and his parents today. He is such a little cutie!!! Katie had some adorable outfits picked out for him and he looked so cute in all of them. The little guy is cutting his very first teeth…poor thing…So he was not sure about all the pictures going on, but he still was sweet enough to give me some precious smiles and show off those AMAZING blue eyes. Bryan and Katie, it was so wonderful to meet you. Thanks so much for welcoming me into your home and letting me spend the morning with you all. Brady is the CUTEST and I just can’t wait for his one year photos!!!! Thanks for all the help getting smiles this morning, everything from guitar playing to some rapping – it was the best :)

Little ball player :)

The sweetest family….

This shot below might be my favorite from the morning….Love his expression…

LOVE this smile!!!

These were his grandmother’s boots when she was little….such a sweet idea!

I can’t get over his amazing eyes….

A happy birthday shout out to our dear friend, Priscila! It is her first birthday as a “mommy” to baby Mia and we could not be happier for the whole family. I just happened to get Mia’s birth announcements in today – and thought I would share. A lot of design work going on at Art and Soul Photography with Senior announcements in full swing :) Happy Birthday again Priscila! We love you!

We had the best time capturing Kaci’s Senior photos!!! After debating the best location for her photos, we decided The Paseo fit her personality the best! She even had outfits that went so well with the buildings :) Good Job Kaci! I have known Kaci for 4 years now and she is just the best….So caring and kind – nothing but fun to be around…..I was so glad she brought her long time boyfriend, Tucker along for the session. He did not even complain when I asked him to work the reflector….Not to mention he did a great job with it, might have to hire him for sessions :) Enjoy your sneak peek, Kaci….You are so amazing and I am so excited to see what the future has in store for you. I know it will be wonderful!!! Thanks for choosing Art and Soul for your senior photos! Love ya, Kaci! 

she is so adorable!!!

Kaci is a cheerleader so I knew she would have some serious ups :)

I know I have mentioned it a million times, but I stinking LOVE shooting in the Paseo!

Love this one!

I was so excited to pick up the Wedding Ideas March Issue and see my cover shot :) I had been patiently waiting to see the issue since the editor asked to feature it…..Here it is!!! And, to top it off the photo is of my best friend since 6th grade, Kim!! We captured her “trash the dress” session last Spring and I am so happy the photo found a home on the cover of the Magazine.  If you are a bride-to-be be sure to pick up a copy, there are SO many wonderful vendors featured throughout. A perfect way to find a vendor for just about everything :) Bring a copy of the issue to your wedding consult and receive a FREE Bridal or Trash the Dress Session!!!!

The Winter months are super tricky for photographers…..It can be hard to schedule on location photos when the weather does not want to cooperate for us. We had scheduled Jenny and Jaron’s photos for a few other times, but it was in the teens or twenties out and we just could not brave the cold….I sure am glad we waited it out for the perfect morning!!! The weather was amazing and we got some ADORABLE shots! These two are so wonderful….As we made our way around the Botanical Gardens and Bricktown area, they were nothing but smiles and snuggles. They were a photographers dream! I am so happy to have met you both and thank you so much for choosing Art and Soul to capture such a special time in your life. You two are the best!!!! Enjoy your sneak peek….

These two are just the sweetest couple….

LOVE this shot!

Starting to see some spring blooms, love it!

LOVE the way they totally rocked this shot!!!

You guys are AWESOME!!

Auburn has been looking froward to Elmo for some time now :) We kept telling her she was going to get to see him sing and dance on stage…..I was bummed when she woke up not feeling well today…She was all snotty and not her bubbly self at all….We braved the show anyway – and she loved seeing her pal Elmo…Last night we went over to the Paseo Art Walk and Auburn had the BEST time! There were some local bands playing outdoors and she danced for close to an hour! My girls loves music!!! If you have never checked out the Art Walk, it happens the first Friday of every month, and is a GREAT time….We will for sure be taking Auburn back for more art and dancing :) Stay tuned for some serious sneak peeks…..Seniors and Engagements coming up!

Headed to Elmo!

Little Miss London is part of the Art and Soul baby plan. I have had the pleasure of capturing her, still in the tummy, as a newborn, and now at six months. Actually, today was her 6 month birthday!!!! I could not believe how much she had grown…..She was so adorable as we tried many different hats and outfits on her. I could not get over what a little doll she was. Those big brown eyes and sweet little smiles – she TOTALLY melted my heart. She was amazing during her newborn session and I knew she would totally rock her half year session….She sure did! I love so many of the images from today and here are a few! Enjoy your sneak peek Mom and Dad!!!!! You are both such amazing parents and I can’t wait for our summer session!

Oh, she is such a DOLL!!!

It just does not get any cuter than this…..

Six months is one of my ALL TIME favorite ages to capture….

Such a happy baby girl…..
