Tea Party

Juliet's kindergarten class had a tea party and asked all the kids to dress up. No problem for us, we have a whole chest full kids dress clothes! Instead of sending her to school in her outfit, we decided come and bring them when it was time for the party. Big surprise, we were a little late getting to school and apparently Juliet was getting a little worried. When when came into the classroom, several of the other kids started yelling her name and telling her that her parents were there. We got her dressed and they had they tea party. Afterwards we took some photos outside of her and her friend, sometimes boyfriend, Gavin.

Easter 2009
Jill wanted us to have an old looking photo of the family this Easter (can you tell we are always looking for different ideas for our portraits?) so we set up the camera on a tripod in the front yard after church Sunday. I tried to make the color look faded like some old slides we have of Jill's family when she was little (about the size of Juliet in this photo). I even added some scratches and stains to increase the authenticity. I wanted to be sure to fully explain this photo, just to ensure no one thought we didn't mean for it to look so bad. I wonder what we will think of next?

2009 Seniors
This was the week of seniors...high school seniors. I had a lot of fun this week photographing seniors all over the South Plains. We are getting close to the end of this senior season with the number of days dwindling down. Some of the seniors can tell you exactly how many days are left. A little advice to next year's seniors: Remember, we take senior portraits all year round. Don't wait too late to get yours taken for the upcoming year.
Here are a few of my favorites from Cheyenne's session. Her light blue eyes just pop in all her photos! We had to fight the wind with the outdoor shots, but we got lots of great shots with her hair blowing.
