Even though we had the longest summer break ever, I still can't believe it's already back to school season! And with back to school season, comes one of my favorite things - SENIOR PHOTOS! And seriously, Lexie is seriously so gorgeous that I could've taken pictures of her alllll night long! Heather Jerred Ibarra

I hope everyone is holding up well! Last night this beauty and I kept a fair distance while enjoying a sunset and keeping our skills sharp, taking turns shooting each other.

School pictures got you down?

I hate paying for pictures I don't love, so instead of feeling like I HAD to buy school pictures this year, I just took the boys out and we took them ourselves. If you aren't happy with your school pictures, but don't want a full-blown photo session, send me a message and we can set up a time to do a few quick head shots that will be perfect to hand out to grandparents, aunts, and uncles!

Happy Halloween from my little crew.

So... life is funny, huh?

I put my little photography business on hold because I just didn’t have time to give it the justice it deserved. Clients were waiting way too long to get their edited sessions back, my kids kept me too busy to be able to enjoy it and it just felt like a chore to work. Photography is something I LOVE to do and never wanted to have a day I didn’t look forward to it. I always assumed I’d come back to it once my kids were older, but not in this phase of my life.

Then this week, after doing nothing with it since May, I got calls and messages and ended up with FOUR sessions booked - all for this week! Previously I would only commit to two each month, but now I just shot 4 in one week 😱. I don’t know what possessed me to say yes, but I was excited about each and every one and I already have the first of the four sessions completely edited!

Does this mean I’m back? Not necessarily. You still won’t see me around here regularly. I’m not putting any effort into promoting myself. BUT what this does mean, is if you want in, it won’t be an automatic “no”.

If you’ve been thinking about having photos for Christmas cards or you haven’t had family photos in 8 years or you put senior pictures off a little too long, just let me know and we will see what we can work into my schedule.

Now, a note about this photo - I usually keep things a little traditional, but try to do at least one or two more artistic or abstract shots in each session. It’s more for my personal exploration than the client. This time I got a wild hair to explore double exposure, and I kind of LOVE the result! It feels wintry and gets me excited for Christmas and hoping Starbucks brings back the Juniper Latte!!!

Spending this holiday weekend catching up on some stuff that got pushed back due to end of the year school stuff.
I'm almost done with sweet Amelia's newborn shoot, but I couldn't wait to show her off, even though I still have a few left to edit. These are just a few of my favorites 💗 Megan McGuire Ross McGuire

Ok, friends. I've gone back and forth time and time again. I edit with two distinct styles - one I prefer and one I think my clients prefer. Top (vibrant and cheery) or Bottom (muted and moody) - which is your fav?

Most of you know I'm not doing a lot of photography these days... life has gotten so busy with my other jobs, raising 3 boys, and trying to make our house a home.
BUT with summer approaching, as much as I am able, I'm opening up one spot each month until school starts again.
I am NOT a newborn photographer, so please don't message me asking 😂 but sometimes I make exceptions for personal friends. I was so excited to hang out with this teeny-tiny, sweet girl tonight. She was PERFECT and I couldn't wait to edit at least a few before I go to bed!

Doing a little Friday night editing while we drive home from Nebraska. If you don't know by now that my favorite photos are the "interactive" ones then you must be new to this page! Here are two of the same pose, one more traditional and one more casual. Which one do you prefer?
