i am taking a break from all these seniors to document sophia turning 1!
at just a few days old, sophia is the first person other than jack that i attempted to photograph. (click here to see) we have both come a long way in the past year, right, sophia?
and here she is at 6 months. it’s amazing how fast they grow!
and now on to her 1 year photos. i couldn’t decide if i like this first one better in color or black and white. what do you think?





she was pretty serious, until we told her about the cake!





happy birthday, sopher!
i get asked a lot by my clients for advice on what to wear. i don’t mind at all, anybody who knows me, knows that one of my favorite pastimes is shopping! so, i thought it would be helpful to show some outfit ideas.
so, here is the first edition of “fashion friday”

these are only meant to be used as inspiration. don’t try to immitate them exactly (unless you want to!) use your own creativity to adapt them to fit with your family’s style.
amanda is a senior at jefferson high school in monroe. no, “amazing amanda” is not a song title. it is just amazing that amanda is still here today, about to enter her last year of high school. when amanda was very little she was fearless. she ran out in front of a semi, walked on a roof of a two story house, and defeated an awful disease. pretty amazing, right?!
as usual we started with some photos up against my backdrops.




then we went to elizabeth park for some outside photos.



her cousin, jessica, a senior at dundee high school, also jumped in for a few:

thanks, both of you and have a great senior year!

i met with michelle tonight for a senior portraits and of course rushed home to get the sneak peak up! what better do i have to do on a friday night once jack goes to bed? not a dang thing!
michelle, is the sweetest, funniest and prettiest girl (that is a whole lot “est’s”)!
we met at her house and i saw this old tractor in the back and knew i wanted to take a few with it before we left. i’m so glad we did because i love how they turned out!

we then went to fourstar greenhouse in carleton for the rest of her photos. thank you, tom smith, for allowing to use your beautiful scenery and flowers as our backdrops!

Kim Pearch - Amazing, simply amazing. I absolutely love the black and white photographs although the coloring in others is brilliant. I especialy like the one where she has icing on her lips. I also love the one where she picked something from the cake, it looks as if she might be meditating (maybe about the next thing she can grap off of the cake).
Beautiful girl and beautiful facial expressions, captions…memories that you will have forever!
