So, I never did get around to posting this session, but this guy is to cute to keep all to myself.  This was one of my last sessions before I had Ila.  I was HUGE and I’m sure, very comedic to watch as I’m taking these pictures.

A Funny story came with the session, free of charge!  We were shooting at this abandoned warehouse and I really didn’t think much of the location being a problem until in the middle of the shoot 3 cops come charging out of the warehouse.  They scared me so bad I’m shocked I didn’t go into labor right then!  Apparently it’s not ok to shoot here and they have problems with gangs and drugs, “yeah, scary!”  They let us go after taking pity on me and my big pregnant self.  Although, surprisingly, they did the good cop bad cop routine.  One was all sweet and made us feel all warm and fuzzy while the other one made me want to pee my pants.  Thank goodness we had all the shots needed before they kicked us out.  SO…..this is a location first and last.  Too bad because it really has so much potential, but not enough potential for me to be thrown in jail, as much fun as that sounds!

Thanks Rhett for putting up with a crazy pregnant lady!

Seriously, this girl is gorgeous beyond words.  I love that she was up for any of my crazy ideas.  Poor thing was in a car accident just 2 weeks before and was really sore, but didn’t complain once.  I love my seniors! 

***As a side note, I may be in need of a few more senior reps for 2011 graduating class, so if you are interested or know of someone who would be, contact me and I will give you the details.  I can only choose one boy and girl from each high school so space is limited.  I’m looking for energetic, fun, and willing to promote me to all your friends in exchange for some amazing goodies from me.  If this sounds like something you would be interested in doing, this is a great way to get your senior pictures done at a discount!  Contact me for details!***

It’s never last minute to get your senior pictures done.  Okay maybe you might want to get them done at least before you head off to college.  This girl was so great and was willing to try a brand new location.  I love this place for seniors.  I’m not sure what happened here, nor do I want to know.  The police tape kinda scared me a little….but don’t worry it’s been long abandoned, I  think. We did find ourselves some treasures that I’m sure all of you wish you could have…like a crusty old couch, who by the way, my senior girl had no problem when I asked her to sit on it for a few pics…did I mention I LOVE seniors?!  Here are way too many pictures to be considered a sneak peek, but I couldn’t resist.

See….CRUSTY couch.  Love it for pictures though.  Thank you to who ever dumped it here.

Le boyfriend tagged along so, you can guess what I did…….

Oh to be 17 again.  Oh wait, I was an awkward and gang-lie 17 year old,  so glad that’s over…..I think!

If you follow me on FACEBOOK (Click )…this is what you would have already seen.  My new signature black and white.  I’m loving it.

I have had a slew of beautiful senior girls lately and this girl is no exception!  She just radiates true beauty inside and out.  This girl had the most amazing eyes that made me wish I had a pair just like them.  She has those eyes that depending on what you wear it changes colors.  So we had green eyes, hazel eyes and blue eyes.  Seriously folks, I did not photo-shop the colors, these are all natural!  Amazing right!

She opted for the 2 location senior shoot and so that’s exactly what we did.  I was a little worried about the wind being a problem, since it was literally hurricane wind the night before, but mother nature was kind to us and what wind she did provide made for some lovely pictures.  Like Oprah says, every women should have a fan, when having their pictures taken.

Miss R, you are one amazing, beautiful, and talented girl.  Thanks for such a wonderful time!

Here’s a little Sun Glam!

Here gorgeous sister came along, so we snatched some sister pics too.

After I finished editing this senior, I had to share a few more….Love these!

I love photographing brown eyes, they really pick up the blues in the sky.  Gorgeous!

I typically don’t do full sun shots, but I might change that!  I really love the look and feel of this photo.

I have one word for this girl… STUNNING!  She claimed that she hates pictures because she never knows how to “pose”  This girl naturally fell into these beautiful serious poses.  I usually have to explain how to get your eyes mouth etc to look like this, but she’s a natural.  Her photos are amazing but more importantly, she’s an amazing girl!

Lauren….you were so much fun to work with!  Remember me when it’s wedding time for you.  I just might cry if you don’t! 

I just had to add some more of my faves into this new blog of this crazy beautiful senior.  More faves from other sessions to come……

What a lucky girl I am! These seniors that I have been photographing are just beyond beautiful. I just love love love senior photo shoots. When it comes to editing I have such a hard time narrowing down which ones to edit, so I always end up with WAY more than I typically give. They are all too perfect. Here is your sneek peak!

Can I say how much I love photographing seniors! This girl is no exception! Isn’t she gorgeous! I kept thinking in my head, “If only I looked this good in high school!” We also got together with 3 of her close friends and took WAY to many pictures because I just couldn’t stop my self! All of these girls could be models.

Thanks guys, for such a great time!
