McLaughlin Pride

It was important to capture the McLaughlins as a proud family of 3 before they ascended to a proud family of 4.  (Very soon!)

Little AJ is almost a year old and just the most laid back & pleasant handsome little guy. 

The family enjoys the outdoors and hiking and although they would have ideally had planned for a majority of outdoor photographs we kept our expectations low on cooperative winter weather.  Boy did Mother Nature lend an unexpected helping hand... it was a rare gorgeous day for mid January and we got a short & sweet handful of lovely outdoor shots in... yay!

Enjoy your sneak peeks & stay warm & dry!

The Baines

You are never too young to get all dolled up to go out and dance...

Who says a perfect family portrait has to be all smiles?

Sometimes all you need is that look to melt your insides.



Some images are psychic and can tell the future...

Is there room for 1 more?

You'd smile too if you were lying butt naked on a bed of soft fur...  (psst... it's faux)

You will be missed by many while you are settling in Czech Republic, they are lucky to have such awesome Americans in their midst.  Enjoy every minute of it!  And I hope you enjoy these previews.

Fashion & Fun with BFF's Amy & Erika

I got a surprise treat for the end of 2009 with a ridiculously fun session with longtime best friends Amy & Erika.  Both in college now they have stayed best friends despite distances ever since childhood and still get together a few times a year to stir up trouble and make some new memories.  Hopefully this session will serve as one of their college time highlights =)

They came in with an armful of adorable outfits and shoes, fun & fierce attitudes and a fashion runway (or groove in the car with your friends) playlist that we blasted in the studio.

They wanted some drama and shots with a high fashion feel.  I made a recipe of a few different lighting setups, dusted off my ringflash and so the collection of lovely begins...

Above 2 done with a studio ringflash notice the cool halos.  

Girls & their shoes...

I coaxed them into trying the masks...

So with the Holiday Season wrapped up I gave my studio a few new gifts. 2 being new backgrounds that I have been wanting to add for a while now.  Grey and Red, and OMG do they look and photograph even more awesome than I had ever anticipated... 

They girls seriously rocked my eyeballs out, their natural and super fierce posing has left me here craving more...  Enjoy your back to school treats you lovely ladies =) 

And Happy New Year to the rest of you all!
