Sisters :)

Finally getting a post out there once again......

This time I shot the Peterson girls (we are neighbors at the moment, as well as business partners...that is, at least our Dad's are. :) ) Our families have know each other for over 20 years. Anyways, we spent a couple hours or so shooting around their home out here in AZ. And did it ever get hot while we were out there!!! We even tried to start early, 6:30, but we were still sweating and then sweating some more. Definitely not the best time to take pictures in AZ.....but what are you going to do?! ;) Thank you, Peterson girls, for stickin' with me out there in that heat! :)  
In the end, these are some of photos we ended up with...................
fyi.....if you click on the photo it will give you the true size. :)    Enjoy!!!

Abandoned Stables Session

Last week part of my photography group got together to put some of what we have been learning this month into practice. We ended up shooting at some abandoned stables/house near Casa Grande. The setting made for some nice photos. Leah (one of the models) had some nice props (i.e. hats).....that was a plus! :) I still have so much to improve on, but I am working on it.

Girls ONLY Shoot :)

Hello All......This is actually an old shoot from which I am finally posting pictures (seeing that I now have a nice blog on which to post them, instead of simply putting them on Picasa. Which is where I used to post all my pics and may still post stuff on there...here and there.) This was our first mock shoot for my photography class that I am a part of. We did this shoot local....right here in Casa Grande with Carlie and Leah as our models. A thank you to the both of them for taking to the time to be our models. :)  Please feel free to comment/critique. 

Tumble Weed Park

A few weeks ago or so I did a 'mock' shoot with my photography group. Once a month we try to get together as a group and put our skills to practice. This particular week we had children as models to practice on. We went to a park where they had some neat backgrounds/props for photo shoots. Here is just a sample of our time........

My 1st wedding

This was my first wedding ,period, and also my first wedding as a back up photographer. I had the privilege of being asked to be Jocelyn Klotz's (of Jocelyn Klotz Photography http://www.homemakerinprogress.com/photoblog/) back up photographer. The day definitely could have gone better than it did, but then it was only my first wedding. It was actually a vow renewal, that is why you will see that the couple has 2 children and one on the way. :) Even though it was a vow renewal it was pretty much the same as a wedding except for a few 'minor' details...i.e. no bridesmaids, groomsmen, etc. The day ended with such a nice reception that was held outdoors....

By the way, if you click on the image it will give you the original size of the photo.

ENJOY!!!
