Another City on my Summer Tour Extravaganza?

There are mosquitos, bees, hail and tornadoes in North Dakota during the summer, and those are some of the better attributes of the state, but by golly, I think I'm going back there this summer to shoot some fun, cool people and hang out with even more fun, cool people... I have such good friends there and I miss them! if you live out that way and want me to photograph your sweet self, toss me a line, and I'll load on the bug spray and come on out

Vanessa

I love little babies. Especially chunky, squeezable, long-eyelashed chortling little fabulous babies like Vanessa. She was so adorable and so much fun, and I got to hang out with her mom, Sandra, who is one of my favorite people out here. Oh my, I have to go lie down. I'm getting baby fever in a BIG way!

Karen

Karen is just one of those kids who has "the Confirmation Face", like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth...she's just such a natural...I love seeing these kids all dolled up and innocent looking!! Such a beauty!

Fernanda the Famous

I shoot famous people...often...but I don't think that it's right to write about their family pictures, so I don't,but since Fernanda is not only my dear friend's daughter, as well as my daughter's dear friend, I get to brag on her. This week, I shot Fernanda's Confirmation pictures, and she was in 26 forms of media, rallying the capital to re-hire CPS workers so that we can keep our children safe. She spoke to radio and tv stations, and newspapers and magazines, in English and Spanish, and she's only 9 years old!! She rules!! Above, see her weet look, her innocent look, and her "I'm 25" look. Here she is on the capital steps in the pink shirt and a ton of letters begging the governor to reconsider cutting funds for CPS. What a great kid!

I shot Chelsea at the JW Marriott the other day...and let me tell you, the JW didn't know what had hit them!! People were asking for her autograph left and right, asking if she was Taylor Swift, Julianne Hough, and Allison Mischalka. One little girl almost started crying because she was so sure that Chelsea was Taylor Swift!! I felt like such a rock star...or maybe only a paparazzi to the stars! I ran Chelsea and her Marvelous mom, Christine, all over the property in their high heels, and they didn't complain once. They were just so much fun to be around and so cool and nice. It's the way shoots are supposed to be!

Bailey

I had the supreme pleasure of photographing Bailey Katz ths afternoon at the Hyatt Gainey Ranch. Her mom, Colleen, who I loved on sight, is a photographer, too, so I was kind of shaking in my boots, but they were both so cool that I forgot my freakout and just had fun. Bailey was an excecptional quick change artist, and made me feel young again, because we both buy our clothes at the same trendy store!! (she looks a LOT better than me though, that's for sure!!) We had a really nice time, and she was such a great girl. Beautiful, too! Yay!
