Chic Critique Forum is holding a cover contest for their upcoming summer issue. I’ve decided to submit a favorite from my latest pin up shoot. This image is from a recent stylized shoot for my friend Amy (and amazing makeup artist!) who was participating in a local radio stations pin up contest. Please leave a comment below if you think my image should win! Wish me luck!

It’s no secret that a pin up style photo shoot is up there as one of my favorite type of sessions. When my friend and makeup artist asked me to photograph her for a local radio stations pin up contest, I was super excited. One. I love Amy. She is a great friend and awesome collaborator. Two. I love pin up. Enough said. Three. Any excuse to get me to go to Fatomworks and see those sweet cars, I am in. We met early one morning before she had to go to work to get a few images for the contest. I’m so pleased to say we got more than just a few!! Amy, being a professional ballroom dancer, sure knows how to pose. She is just stunning and so much fun to work with!! Amy made it to the top 9 and now has to compete in a runway competition!! I am sure she will win, what do you think??
I recently turned 34 and wanted to share some self portraits over the last year. 34 is no different than 33 except it is a little closer to 40 and I am not quite ready to hit 40. To be completely honest, I wasn’t quite ready to hit 30.There are many things I love about each passing year, such as the aquired wisdom and caring less what others think while focusing more on the important things in life that make me happy. Those are great. I am not so happy about the little wrinkles I notice, not being able to drink more than 2 glasses of wine without a hangover, not being able to eat anything I want and still be a size 2… Things are changing, some for the better and some for the not so better. I will embrace these changes and continue to be a flow ninja. (my term for going with the flow) My self portraits over the last year including stylized shoots.
Whew!!! What a crazy few months it has been. I have completely slacked on blogging. Life just got in the way and family comes first. I am back at it again and I thought I’d start with some lifestyle photography from our most recent family spring break vacation. We had twelve kids under the age of nine staying at a beach house. The weather was not very warm and lead to a lot of creative play indoors. We managed to have one decent day outside on the beach, but that was pretty much it. I was still able to get some pretty memorable family photos.
Beautiful photos and they are so cute! The one with the crown reminds me of where the wild things are! I am friends with several moms who are also small business owners. Every few months we get together to just hang out and fill each other in on our lives while our kids get to play. This past Presidents Day we were able to have a breakfast play date. Because the weather was cold we decided to have it at my house and let the kids run around the house. During these play dates I always try to schedule a little mini session to experiment with a new idea I have. This one was all about negative space and this amazing wall art on a local building. I wanted the kids to look urban and hip. I think they pulled it off very well. The session was a blast and super funny with me running a few kids back and forth to the shaded part of the building. The girls were a little cold but nothing a candy necklace wouldn’t fix. We ended the day eating at on of my favorite places; Nordtroms Café. I can’t wait until we get together again! I wonder what idea I’ll try out for the next play date??
Absolutely love this idea. We lived on a tight knit block filled with kids as a child. I would have loved something like this to keep as memories of all the fun we had. These are so adorable! How fun! What a CUTE idea for a shoot! I just love all the colors! What a cute session. They’re all so spunky in their own way. The blue mo-hawk and the colorful converse sneakers are to die for. Great work! What a fun idea! Those are some cute kiddos! |
