Siblings – 7 month Old and 2 Year Old – Baby and Child Photography
It’s been a very busy past week, lots of agent headshots and residential virtual tours. It’s always nice to slow down (hahaha, slow down when shooting a 2 year old
…) and enjoy some kids. Here is a couple of adorable kids we had in the studio today for the portrait contest, it was so hard to choose my favorites, but I finally dwindled it down to these…and yes the outdoor shots are here by our studio.

Enterprise High Winter Formal – High School Dance Photographer
This week was filled with lots of residential virtual tours, so it was a nice break this weekend to do a homecoming and formal dance. Saturday evening Jan 21st. we photographed a winter formal for Enterprise High. The theme was ‘Dancing in the Moonlight”. We designed a 3-D set unique for this dance (as we do for all our formal posed events) and had some fun with creative lighting to give it a nighttime feel. Here’s a couple of candids with the backdrop we designed.

Baby Faith – 2 1/2 month Old girl – Newborn and Infant Photography
What a sweetheart. Little Faith is just 2.5 months old. Babies are my favorite subjects. Although they are not the easiest at times, little Faith was extremely cooperative! Here’s a few of my favorites from her shoot. – Wendy
I designed this 16×20 of her mom’s favorite expressions. 
And here’s her perfect little toes

Matt and Amy’s Wedding – Wedding Photography
Well our last wedding of 2006 was Dec 17th and we were greatful to be working with such a fun couple, Matt & Amy. They had their wedding at Church of the Foothills in Cameron Park, CA. And their reception at a nearby Inn. The church was decorated with Rich Reds and white poinsettas. Absolutely gorgeous! Space for being creative was a little tight, the only place to take photos was in the main church building, there was a lot of construction on the exterior and since it was a late wedding, by the time we got to the reception, it was too dark to do much outside, although we did get a little creative with the Christmas Lights on the exterior fences. So here’s a few of our favorites and Matt and Amy, we wish you the best!! Thanks for sharing this day with us!
