Kool Kelsey


This is Kelsey and her baby Ariel! Kelsey was so FUN to photograph and is the SWEETEST girl!!!! She has the coolest parents too!!! I've never had parents come along for the session and pic-nic as we work! LOL! I liked this photograph of Kelsey very much because it portrays Kelsey's affection and was PERFECT for some of the new brushes that i picked up from Nancy Emmerich at East Coast School! Cheers!
¡Ésta es Kelsey y su bebé Ariel! ¡¡Kelsey era tan divertida para tomar fotos y también es MUY cariñosa!! ¡Sus padres también son tan suaves! ¡Nunca he tenido padres que han venido a la sita para tomar un pi-nic! Me gustó este foto de Kelsey porque enseña lo cariñoso de ella y también el foto es PERFECTO para usar los pinceles de Photoshop que compré de Nancy Emmerich en la escuela de East Coast!
¡ Chao!

What a TRIP!


Whew! Just got back from East Coast Schools in Raleigh, Durham on Saturday.
I had the honor of studying photography and photoshop with Don and Nancy Emmerich this year. They are from OK City and are some of the COOLEST and most talented artists in our industry! We learned everything from lighting, setting computer preferences, marketing, and of course............Photoshop techniques! I took some of my recent client images with me to apply some of the neat things that I learned.........Was doing GREAT........until I spilled soda on my laptop keyboard. I will post some samples later. You can log on to www.studioartphotography.com to learn more about Don and Nancy!
Cheers!

¡ Caramba! Apenas llegué de la escuela de East Coast en Raleigh, Durham el sábado.
Tuve el honor de estudiar fotografía y Photshop con el señor Don Emmerich y su esposa Nancy. Son de Oklahoma City y son gente tan suaves y también son aristas muy talentos en nuestra industria. Aprendimos todo desde la luz, las computadoras, la venta y photoshop. Lluevé unos photos de mis clients conmigo para usar las técnicas que aprendí. Todo estaba bien hasta que tiré soda en el teclado de mi computadora. Se puede ir a www.studioartphotography para leer de ellos.
¡Chao!

BUSY WEEK! But Can't Wait to Go!


Whew!!! It has been a very hectic last two weeks! We've been trying to get the kids ready to go back to school and getting my classroom ready for instruction too!! I am sooo very much looking forward to meeting my new students and getting my own kiddos back to their routines as well! I can't wait to watch them play sports and dance this fall!

In the mean time, I've been busy with my baby model search and have been having a BLAST building my portfolio and getting ready for my 1st edition book and baby program campaign. I've also been busy with some senior and family sessions too! I am anxiously awaiting your proof books!

The reason I'ts so hectic isn't because of trying to get everything taken care of before school starts but is actually because I will be leaving for North Carolina this Saturday. Raleigh North Carolina houses one of the BEST Photography Schools in the country.....East Coast Schools! This will be my second year attending this school and CAN'T WAIT to get back there and see my old friends and learn some new photographic techniques!!!! To learn more about this school, you can log on to www.eastcoastschool.com. Here are a few shots I did from last year. I took an AMAZING lighting class and this is where I really learned and grasped the concept of "OFF CAMERA FLASH".

I will post you later on some of the school's highlights and new things that I learn about later!

Cheers!
