Newborn Bliss!

Had the opportunity to do a newborn shoot last week. This has to be one of my favorites....

Modeling Agency Shoot, Kids style

A request came in to get some portfolio shots done of a friend's children. They were about to audition for parts in a kids TV production . It was decided that we'd do something organic for the portraits. These girls were gems to work with!

Timing Is Everything - Sunrise Photography

     Every morning I go out to feed the horses. Usually it's near sunrise and there is no telling what the sky will reveal.

Although it was the cooler air we were after the beauty of the surroundings is something to behold.

     The heat of the summer had put a damper on my photographic activity. I could hardly wait to explore the mountains and lakes for renewed inspiration and I wasn't disappointed.
