::Ashley:: (Portrait Photography)

Ashley did a fantastic job goin' with my flow. . .

I had an idea of where we would go for the shoot but I definitely winged it:)

So we head out with anticipation of finding THE spot.

The spot that we wanted to get to was blocked off, so we improvised a few feet from it:)

Ashley is currently pursuing acting, so we had to make sure to get those head shots!!

Nice and moody:)

GLAM!

Love the pop of color. . .

Ashley - thank you for being so easy and fun to work with!

Coming Soon: Trips and Parks:)

Allison ~ Portraits

(Just to warn you, this post may be rather long due to the following "occurrences")

I had the very special opportunity of photographing one of my friends, Allison, whom I have known for as long as I can remember:)

I actually know Allison through my church and now we are both in the young adults ministry :)

Anyway, where shall I begin?

I'm thinking at the beginning, just because I think it's a very good place to start ;-)

We scheduled the session for right after church. So, I rode with Ally and my awesomest bff (a.k.a. "the closet") back to my house to grab something to eat(the location was only a couple minutes away) but to my annoyance, I realized I forgot my key. . .

You know the one that unlocks the door. . .

That lets you into the house. . .

Yeah, definitely didn't have it with me because I didn't drive to church that day.

. . . Way to think ahead Megan. . .

and did I mention that all 7 other family members were gone?

Like seriously, what are the odds??

Luckily, the VERY kind Dempsey family let us crash their house , even though they weren't even at home!

Once we were done, we headed out to the location. While walking to the exact spot, I had turned around to hear what Liesel was saying but little did I know that what I thought was a patch of grass was actually 5 inches of mud. Once I realized what was going on, I squealed like a little girl and hopped right out.

I then assessed the damage to my NEW fur boots.

. . . . . . . Let's move on, shall we. . . . . . .

I get my camera out to start shooting and it doesn't turn on.

I do it again.

I check the battery.

I turn it on and off ten more times, just to make sure I'm not losing my mind.

Nope. Nada.

I call my tech savvy uncle for help and do what he says.

Still doesn't work.

So we head back to my house to switch cameras and luckily someone was home this time:)

:Take Two: (it's more like take five but who's counting;))

This is the good part of the story.

We ACTUALLY start taking the photos!!

No interruptions.

Beautiful subject.

Perfect weather.

It went beautifully :-)

Here's the proof. . . . .

Allison - Thank you SO much for your patience! You were an absolute joy to photograph!

(The photo below is one of my faves:))

Model much??

She seriously looks like she stepped out of Urban Outfitters or something. . .

The next couple of photos we wanted to have taken in the tennis court that was close by but (shocker) we weren't able to get in. So, we settled for the parking lot:)

Hope you enjoyed the post!

Please leave a comment! I would love to know what you think!!

Portrait - Amy

Last but certainly not least. . . my sister Amy!

Amy (the middle child) is seriously one big goofball. . . :)

No matter the circumstance, she always brings a light-hearted, goofy attitude.

And have you seen her eyes??? Don't look too closely, you may get lost in those pools of blueness.

Well, now you have "met" my sisters and have seen how gorgeous and amazing they are!

-one question: Fellas, what are you waiting for???

Portrait - Lauren

So remember when I said I went to FL for a week this summer and took portrait pictures of my sib's and friends??

Do we see a pattern yet;)??

My plan for the next week is to post (realistically) every other day. I have a hand full of sessions to posts so please come on back and let me know what you think!

So, next up is Lauren!
Lauren is my oldest sister and one of the most bubbly people ever.

No, seriously.

She is one of those people who can light up a room with her warm smile,that contagious laughter and a heart wanting to serve others around her. . .

This last photo is pretty much my favorite ever. While I was shooting lauren's photos my sister amy and my good friend Liesel(both of whom you will get to see later) jumped into the picture. All the while, Lauren had no idea. It was prety much hilarious.

More to come. . . . Adios!

Portrait - Kristen

Ladies and Gentlemen, drum roll please. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . !!!!!

Introducing my first photo post with my newest camera with my awesomely beautiful sister Kristen!!!

While my sisters and I were in Miami, FL awhile back, I had the opportunity of taking my sisters as well as, a couple of my friends photos during our stay. . .

and let me just say that these girls are amazing beauties. Which I'll also be posting soon.

But first up is my sister Kristen:)Hmmm, what to say about Kristen.....this girl isn't like any other. She is one of the most joyful people I know.

No matter what the situation, she continues to glorify God by resting in Him. . . . . and as a result, blesses everyone else with her joy.

And did I mention she has killer eyes???. . . .

and along with that heart full of joy comes a very goofy personality :)

Kris, thanks for being a part of our family and being my favorite sister;)Love you.

(More to come. . . . . )
