Playing Oppossum

Meet Porter.  He's the newest grandchild in the Sparks family.  He was two weeks old when we shot these which usually is a few days too old for these types of shoots.  But no matter because he played right along and pretended to sleep for me while I snapped the shutter!  He may look like he's off in sweet dream land, but he's totally faking! So sweet!

I love this child already!!

 Just adorable!!

We'll see how long it lasts! (ha ha)

Generations

Had so much fun with these three ladies!  Gorgeous, smart and so much fun!  I know they were a little apprehensive to be made up and then to be photographed, but as you can see there was nothing to be afraid of.  I love that Emily wanted to do this with her mom and her daughter!  I love this three generation picture.  What really touched me, though, was that they brought along a necklace that belonged to Emily's grandma.  So the last picture is taken with the necklace on in remembrance of grandma.  Thank you ladies for the fun afternoon!

Super Mommy

Alicia is my next door neighbor.  She was a little apprehensive, I think, to have her photos taken.  She wanted me to shoot her with her sweet little guy, Cooper.  She just thought she would feel more comfortable being shot like a mommy rather than a super model.  Although, she can totally pull off both rolls!  Mom to 6 kids is Super Mommy in my eyes!!  

My Fashionista!

If I ever want to have help putting together anything cute, This is the woman I call.  She knows fashion and style like the back of her hand!  You can tell by the outfits she brought to her shoot!  What a fun time we had with her and the funny thing is I totally had to talk her into it!  The best thing about shooting her was that she trusted me enough to try some more artsy poses in the shoot!  I love that she was game and I love even more how they turned out!  Simply gorgeous!  I hope her husband likes them as much as I do!

My Merisa

I have been looking so forward to this shoot!  Merisa and I connect in so many ways and she is one of my dearest and best friends.  She has the most beautiful spirit and is someone I can totally trust to have my back!  She is beautiful in every way!  Yesterday I finally got my chance to shoot her and here is what we got!!

Yes, beautiful inside and out!!

This is so Exciting!

So game on!  I've got my studio put together and I've started shooting!  Here's my friend Stephanie.  She volunteered to be one of my first subjects.  She is one of those naturally beautiful women.  Shanna did an awesome job on the hair and make-up.  Here's her before and after shots.  Just loved pulling these up and watching this unfold!  Stephanie really is amazing!  

More to come!!!!

My First Glam

This is my friend Shanna who volunteered to be my first subject.  She also just happens to be my make-up and hair person, as well.  We decided to practice on her and here is the result!  She's stunning and she loved the photos!  Every woman deserves to have her portrait taken feeling beautiful!  Here's a few of the many shots we took!
