working on right now . . . Knoxville, TN Senior Portraits

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

want a little peek at what I am working on right this SECOND!  I love editing images and these beautiful girls hardly need any editing at all.  Can’t wait to share these Senior Portrait sessions with their families.

oh and this little sweet pea.  A local little model needed a few images for her portfolio!  So excited to help her out. We laughed the ENTIRE time, not only is she silly but she is sweet and her mama was the best to work with.  Thanks so much little miss thing!

seniorologie tour speaker

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

ok, here is the nitty gritty.  I’m going on tour, yep you heard that right!  Load up the bus with chai tea, only peach colored M&M’s and every episode of the following shows; The New Girl, Bored to Death, and The Walking Dead.  Please have the people at Volcom call the Seniorologie people and send over their newest line ASAP.  Once I get their I would like a cozy cottage, yummy food and I want to hang in my PJ’s with a bunch of awesome senior photographers.  I also want styled shoots, stunning models and a beautiful location.  GET ON IT PEOPLE!

Ok well actually the 1st part is me just being a diva and basically listing impossible items or things I love.  The second part, yep you guessed it that is EXACTLY what the Atalanta Seniorologie Tour is going to be like.  I can’t even tell you how blown away I am by the details of this event and even more blown away that I was asked to be a speaker. It is beyond an honor and I am freaking so excited to learn from the other speakers; Holli True, Lisa Carpenter and Amanda Holloway!  When Leslie, the owner of Seniorologie told me where it was being held, I about died. The Inn at Serenbe is STUNNING and we will have this entire location at our finger tips and the price of the workshop is amazing. One fee and you won’t have to worry about food or your room that is all included. I know that I have seen workshops priced exactly the same as the Seniorologie Tour – Atlanta and you still have to pay for a hotel! I am looking forward to the relaxation, good sleep and learning.  Look at how pretty it is, oh my goodness . . .

Ok, needless to say I am so excited.  Oh an one more little surprise that is now no longer a surprise.  It’s my birthday during the tour so maybe I will throw a rocking birthday party for myself and YOU.  Sleepover dance PARTY style in our cutest pajamas, whatcha think? Something like this . . .

I then could be like Oprah giving presents and yelling “You GET A NEW CAMERA, YOU GET A NEW CAMERA!!!”  do you think Adorama could help me out with that?  A girl can dream.  Anyway all joking aside, it’s going to be simply awesome to be able to hang out with a bunch of Senior Portrait photographers as I turn . . . 34!!!!!  Hope you will be there.

Off to College – senior portraits Knoxville TN

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

Oh my goodness, how fun this was to photograph these fun college roomates!  I honestly wish I had some images like these of my BFF’s from High School and also my adult BFF’s, actually we did a shoot together but the photographer never sent us the images. No worries next time Sarah is here we will do this again. It was fun to shoot and hopefully just as fun to be photographed.

Best Friend shoots are fun, quick and a great way to document the laughter and silliness that only best friends can share.

long hair styles

Thursday, November 3rd, 2011

You know you’ve worn your hair in a pony tail or bun way to many days in a row when you blow it dry and think “OH MY GOSH, is my hair really that long now”!  yep that’s me today.  Long hair styles are fun and you can do a lot with long hair but sometimes a quick bun or pony tail is all you have time for.  Plus blowing dry long hair styles can be super tedious and again time consuming. So I am on the hunt for better ways to wear my super long hair and here are some of my favorites from, yes you guess it Pinterest.

This is so soft and simple. Would require a blow dry but it’s a pretty option for wearing it down.
