Dixie Jean is 3 Months!

Every time I'm in Arkansas, I have to shoot photos of sweet little Dixie Jean. She is growing so fast and looking more and more like her gorgeous mama. I miss them tons. I couldn't pick just a couple, so here are a few select images ...










Below is Dixie with the shoes that Ashley wore in her maternity shots. We plan on shooting her with the shoes everytime to document her growth. First, here's a shot of Ashley (and Dixie) in the shoes, if you don't remember.


and the little miss below ...


I think by the grip she has on that pump, it's safe to say she's gonna be a shoe gal.








Don't worry Dixie, aunt Tam will be back in Arkansas in August:)
Till then, big hugs and kisses. Love you all.

Jessica's Bridals

Finally, I get to post some photos from Jessica's Bridals we shot back in March. She is absolutely beautiful and such a sweetheart. Be on the lookout for photos from the wedding ...

Colorado Strobist - May Meetup

We met up with some of our strobist friends in Golden and had some great burgers and a fantastic time playing around with overpowering the sun. Here's a shot of Lee below ...


and Tom ...and me and Tom ... I thought this was funny because he is so tall and I am so not.


Here's a shot of Will, who was gracious enough to let us all invade his beautiful home ...

and here's Tom and Jenn ... check out the awesome wedding they just shot at Garden of the Gods. I am so jealous I was out of town and missed this. They did a fantastic job ...

here's the group shop, minus me ...

such a group of camera geeks - we love it! Dave is the only person who managed to escape modeling for me. He's also the one hiding behind the camera above:)


Oh look, Dave is blocking his face, once again (above, center).

Thanks so much to Will and Co. for giving up their home and to everyone else for being so much fun. See you guys soon.

Colorado Strobist - March Meetup

So I'm really behind on the blogging. It's almost June and I'm just posting stuff from March. The strobist group met up at North Denver Photographers Studio and had a great time shooting tons of models. I was only around to shoot a couple, but here are some shots from the day. Below is Jessica modeling while we had some fun experimenting with gels.

Holly did a fantastic job modeling and was oh so patient.

Here she is with a little dramatic lighting ...

... and a little extra lighting for the wings.

Had to focus on the shoes here. LOVE the red heels.





Check out the monster umbrella we were able to use outside to overpower the sun ...

I couldn't even adjust this thing.

More of Jessica ...






Thanks to the studio for allowing us to meet up and giving us full use of all of the props - and to all the models AND to everyone who shared their equipment - especially Bruce for letting me fire off a few frames with his new D3:)
