Megan

This was so much fun. We went all over finding sweet places to take photos, and ended up in our favorite field full of little purple wildflowers. Megan is a landscape photog- I saw some of her photos on Facebook, and they are beautiful and funky! A lot of them were taken at night with a tripod and long exposure. Cool. Anyways, I tried to incorporate the landscape-theme into some of her senior photos, and I think it turned out pretty well. Enjoy!

Mom & Daughter

Yes, I know it was father's day yesterday- but here's a preview from a mother-daughter shoot we did last week. We went up to the Sluice Boxes for it, and it was so pretty! Wow.

Abbey, senior

Ahh! Another peek. We'll post more soon!
p.s. some of the photos have been looking grainy (ugg!) so I'm working on a new and better way to post photos.. wish me luck!

Katie, Matt, and Emma

Here are more photos from McGraw's three BEAUTIFUL children. They were such troopers. I remember as a little kid that getting photos taken was not nearly as fun as it is now, and they were awesome. Mrs. McGraw has been my English teacher the past two years and has been the greatest teacher anyone could ever ask for. Seriously. When the option of taking "Senior Project" came up, I signed up so I could have her as a teacher again. I could go on and on, so here's her three kids!

Hello Emma!







This is one of our coolest finds- it's this field covered in these little purple flowers. How sweet is that??









Nice work on the lovely sunspots Georgie!

Summer, here I come

So good news. Very, very good news.. I am no longer doing Summer Advantage! So what does this mean for everyone and us?? It means that I get my summer back, I can go to the Harry Potter opening (YES!), enjoy the state fair, and be here the entire month of July for photos, fun, and whatever else my heart desires within reason.

But why?

Here's the reason we opted out: so being new at this whole college thing, I was unaware that normal general education requirements (GER's) differ from the honors college requirements to graduate. The classes I would have been taking would have only filled normal GER credits, not the honors ones. You with me? In short, the credits would have been worth nothing to me, and would have cost extra money and time.

I'm so excited I get to be here and continue taking more photos this summer. I look forward to it so, so much. So that's my good news, I hope everyone else is having as great a summer as I am!

Signing off for now,
halley :)

Sorry for all the 'peeks' of shoots, we'll be posting more soon from all of them! For now, here's a shot from yesterday. I love vintage processing, and I love this girl!

Sneak Peek: Matt, Katie, & Emma

Here's a shot from yesterday- more to come from these adorable kids!

MVP part II

Here are some more photos from MVP's shoot. Georgia and I have decided that he is one of the cutest babies ever. His dad, Michael, has had some qualms about having his photo taken (he's rather camera shy), but he was a trooper for us. Thanks you guys, and nice work Geannine on getting the whole family in these shots! This was blast.

We started out at Centene Stadium where Michael used to announce the games. There was even a Stallions game being played while we were taking photos.




Stunning mom. Beautiful baby. SWEET!


We found this wall earlier that day, and I almost missed a green light staring at it! We knew that we had to use it for a shoot and soon, so we told Michael and Geannine about it, and they were game. There was a gal even painting parts of it while we were there.




I love how baby MVP is looking at Ginger the dog and vice versa..



Their two dogs, Duke and Ginger were so cooperative. I've never seen dogs stay so still for photos before! Or maybe I'm just used to puppy Alice, who knows?



Thanks again you guys!

More from Mike

Here's some more photos from our shoot yesterday! The photos that are mine have the normal logo on them, and the ones with the GMM in the corner are Georgia's! That way you can see samples of her work as well. Thanks Mike!












See the GMM?!

MVP

Here's another preview of today! This little Michael (initials are MVP), and his amazing parents. Isn't he the cutest?? More pictures to come..

Mike

Here's a little preview of our morning! Meet Mike, one of the coolest seniors around.

We're back

Crazy, exciting, overwhelming, awesome. That pretty much sums up my entire week. This week my parents and I were at orientation for college! woot woot. Sorry it's taken me a bit longer to reply to emails- we only had access to computers one night this week!

Anyways.. I am embarrassed to say that throughout this past week I have taken only one photo of the whole trip! .. and it was of a cloud that was shaped funny.

There'll be more photos up soon- we have some really fun sessions coming up (I can't wait!!).

In the meantime, here are some photos from my graduation (which was June 1):

p.s. I'm putting them as small photos because it's rather late, but the next posts will have beautiful big photo! :-)

here's my robe..

the tassel..

and the inside of my cap! I had to decorate it a teensy bit, so this is what I came up with.
The best part about graduation was seeing everybody. This is Faith, a family friend from when we lived in Texas. She was so great to have stay at our house. She is so easy to talk to and helped so much with everything (for those of you that have not gone through a graduation, it's insanely busy).

Ta-ta for now!
