Long Awaited…

I’m so excited that I finally have a chance to share these with everyone! Before the cold of winter came, I went out with 3 awesome high school seniors to do a Funky Formals session with each of them. We had so much fun that it was really hard to pack up for the day, because we all just wanted to stay in the water and play some more! I can’t wait till the weather warms up, so I can go out & do this again! Oh… and in case anyone is wondering, all 3 dresses came perfectly clean!

I couldn’t pick out just a few, so I’ve put together a slideshow for you to view. Make sure you turn up your speakers to hear the music I picked out for it. This was the theme song to my favorite tv series of all time. Anyone know which show that might be?!?

Check it out!


Just thought I’d pass along some exciting info! Remember a couple posts back I introduced “Funky Formals”? Well, I decided to submit some of my first Funky Formals session to the national website that shows off some of the best images from around the country, and guess what?!? They picked some to put up on the site! These were of Catie, who is a natural in front of the camera. Actually, you’ll be seeing more of her in about a week or so, because we just went out yesterday and did a group Funky Formals session with her & two of her friends! We all had such an awesome time, and these images definitely show it… I can’t wait to post them! I really love my job :)

For now, make sure to check out the website showcasing the nation’s revolutionary seniors here: www.letsgettrashed.com

Here’s one of the shots they chose:

I’m excited to finally get Catie’s senior portrait session done! We started a session in August, but mother nature decided to rain down on us. We got some great images anyway that day, but we really wanted to have some fun in the sun! So, we finally had the chance to run wild in Winchester last weekend & we walked away with some wonderful shots! Here’s some highlights from both sessions:
















Announcing…. Funky Formals!!!

Catie was also my first senior who wanted to participate in the “Funky Formals” sessions that I am now offering. This is actually my take on the whole “Trash the Dress” craze that has been spreading across the country. If you’re out of the loop, the idea is to take your wedding dress or prom dress & make beautiful, fun images in an out of the ordinary setting. This craze has been highlighted on numerous national news media & talk shows, including “Good Morning America”, Entertainment Tonight’s “The Insider”, & the New York Times. Some people have misunderstood the title of “Trash the Dress” as completely destroying it, which is not the goal of 99% of these sessions. The goal is to make some great images while not worrying about getting a spot on your dress (or tux if you’re a guy!). So, that is why I have created my own name for these sessions that is more fitting for what we are trying to accomplish. Check out the following websites that showcase the nation’s best sessions submitted so far:

For Brides: Trash the Dress
For Seniors: Let’s Get Trashed

And…. check out these images of Catie’s Funky Formals session from last weekend! Stay tuned for more of these sessions soon! Also, if you’re wanting to take part in a Funky Formals session yourself, I’m offering the next few sessions booked at 75% off of the regular price, so get in touch if you’d like to participate!!!
