Closing down the year in style

Closing down the year with some stunning shoots.  Great families.  I'll do a recap next week of 2017 but woah....busy year and grateful beyond words.  Be looking for that recap because you might recognize everyone ;) hahahaha.   For now...the MacGrays.

Happy Birthday Sweet Audrey!

For over a year, my bible study, me, Josh, friends, family have all prayed for a buddy for Kayla (my oldest).  Kayla is super sweet and kind and artistic and not into cliques.  She never really found her person until recently.  Not to put the pressure on Audrey, but she is perfect for Kayla.  She is kind, artistic, sweet and just instantly Kayla's bff.  She just moved here 2 months ago and we could not be more thrilled for a new friend for Kayla.  Thankful for her.  Audrey celebrated her 9th birthday last week and I got to sneak over and do a mini-shoot for her.  Kind of my dream client :) hahahaha.

Mitch!

This was a fun shoot for me.  I have been wanting to photograph Mitch for about a year.  I had a specific location in mind and with all the snow...I was thinking I would have to wait even longer for it to melt and dry up.  Instead, I found this space that allowed for beautiful light...kind of a darker shoot for me, but I LOVE playing with light.  Mitch was perfect for this shoot.

Senior Photos!!! Jackie

I had the privilege to photograph the lovely Jackie a few weeks ago.  It was cold, but we had the best sunset and awesome willingness to sit in a chair in the freeeeezing cold....in a sleeveless dress :)  Oh, it was fun!  Jackie is a 2016 high school senior and I couldn't be more excited for her graduating and pursuing a college degree.  She's smart...I mean really smart and we just had the best time :) Thanks Jackie for having me photograph your senior pics!!

This last photo was totally for fun.  She is a singer and brought along some sheet music.....Just for fun :)

"Can I swing by for 1 shot?"

This is what I said to Hilary last week, "Can I swing by for 1 shot?".  I had an idea of double exposure.  Anyone know what that is?  In the film days you took one image and put it on top of another to create this cool effect, double exposure.  I have always been intrigued by this style and tried to figure it out with just my digital camera.  I have done this before in Photoshop, but never within my camera.  Most DSLR's these days have this capability in the menu settings.  On the Nikon this can be found by pushing Menu, then click on the camera icon and then it's at the bottom (Multiple exposure).  Anywho, I called Hil and said, lets play.  It was super short notice, but I showed up and she looked like she was about to step out to NYFW.  Sheesh!  Lucky for me....it was time to play!
