1.29.2011 Fashion Photography: MilliLee Designs

I am in love with MilliLee Designs' latest collection of clothes.  And I have no children of my own to put in these adorable clothes and fawn all over... So feel free to buy these up and request that I take photos of your children in these dresses. :)

These newest styles are part of the Jet Setter Collection and not only does each dress have a clever name, but the styles and materials are SO cute.  See if you can tell which dress is the Austria Maria, or the Arrivederci Roma, the Paris Bound or Moroccan Retreat.

This was my second session taking pictures of Milli's designs...and this time around we got down to business.  No models - just clothes in a vintage, jet setting style.

1.16.2011 Family Portraits

I spent last Sunday afternoon with my brother-in-law Patrick, sister-in-law Ruth, and niece, Lydia.  We had such a nice day!  The afternoon was spent mostly taking pictures of Lydia, who just turned one... and a few family pics, but we also were able to hang out and spend time chatting.  

Not only is Lydia adorable, she also has the most precious personality.  She is smiley and friendly and she is growing up so fast!  We spent half our time taking pics in their house and the other half in a park near their home where they spend a lot of time.

I was so excited that Ruth asked me to take pictures of Lydia and of the family.  We even came up with some great ideas for more pictures when the weather gets nicer.  Yay! :)

Some friends of mine helped me make some headbands and tutus for the pictures.  (Thank you Hilary, Heather and Julie!)  Lydia wasn't a huge fan of the tulle on her legs, but she stuck it out for a few pics!

1.15.2011 Promotional Photos: Allan & Ashcraft

You remember the talented Allan Craig Miller that I recently took photos of?  I was happy to know that he liked the first photos well enough that he wanted to schedule another session with his music partner - the other half of his duo - Hubie Ashcraft.  That was a nice pat on the back for me - we know I need alot of that to keep me going... :)

Hubie and Allan are really great, easy-going guys.  Our little crew trekked around town in various frigid locations and ended up in our local downtown tavern - which according to Wikipedia is a local landmark...and I was told by the bartender was the very first tavern in town.  It was my first time entering through the doors of Rex's Rendevous, and I was not disappointed.  The vintage booths and wall decor was all I could have hoped for.  :)

If you didn't check out Allan's website before, be sure to take a look.  http://www.allancraigmiller.com/

1.9.2011 My Pup

My schnauzer-westie mix dog is a spoiled (sometimes rotten) pup.  I love her way more than you should ever allow yourself to love something that will only live 12-14 years and is not a human-being.

Today she is another year older so I took some pictures of her on the morning of her 4th birthday in the snow - and decided to use my new photoshop elements and actions to edit them.  

Happy Birthday, Rowdy  :)
