Shalana + James

I love photographing couples! Like love it, love it!  I love when they connect with each other, but with me and the camera!  So when I was able to photograph Shalana and James I was so excited!  They rocked the session and I had a blast freezing with them in like 10 degree weather haha!  I have so many from this session, but here are a few I thought I would share with you all!!

Yay I'm now a published photographer!

So again I know it has been a while and I can't promise I will get better about blog posts!! So sorry!! But it has been an exciting few months so I do have some more blogs coming up with some awesome shoots I have had and a gorgeous DIY wedding I was so excited to photograph!! But right now I want to share about finally being published!  It has always been a goal and hopefully it won't be the only time but it did happen!! I was notified by the model Donna Medina about this magazine and the type of image they were looking for just so happened to be what we just shot!  So the image was picked to be a two page spread in Ethereal Art Magazine!! I am so excited and just wanted to share the link with you all and the image that was used!!  You can purchase a digital copy or print copy and get a little piece of Rangely at this link: http://www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/987769?__r=545492

Thank you all for the love and support!!

It's been too long!

EEEK so it has been way too long! And I admit I am horrible at remembering half the things I need to do so blogging does not come easy to me lol! But I have had some amazing sessions lately.  Mostly boudoir so I won't be sharing but I was lucky to get Donna to model for me again!! And yes I truly believe she should model! She is gorgeous!!  I love working with her as she endures all my crazy ideas without question.  We started off her session up at The Tank which is known for attracting musicians to play in for the acoustics.  It was quite the experience and my first to play with a dramatic lighting situation! If you haven't been in there schedule to check it out and you will see how dark it can be.  It is a cool experience especially the sounds inside!  Then we made our way to the river to finish out the evening!  Such a great shoot and some truly amazing shots!! Yeah we may have had spectators haha, and we may or may not have missed jumping over a nasty water way lol.  But sometimes you have to just go for it to get that shot!! So thanks Donna for a fun and amazing session again!!

For all the women

Wow I fall more and more in love with boudoir at every shoot!  Seriously I absolutely love doing what I do!  Helping woman see themselves the way they never thought!  When I hear a response like "that's me" or "wow" after seeing the back of the camera or an image it makes me so happy!  Most woman don't see themselves as sexy or gorgeous.  Especially mothers! Even those who believe they are sexy or gorgeous don't always look at themselves and see it.  Many woman see what they want different about themselves.  Sometimes it's good to just look at yourself and see the beauty that you are!  I received my album from my shoot with the amazing Alison Dudley and love it!  I love looking through it and remembering that I was brave for those moments! I remember such an amazing experience!  As a mom myself I often get caught in the I'm a mom mode and forget I'm also a wife and a woman! I deserve to break those mom roles once in a while and remember everything else I am!  I hope all you Mom's and women out there remind yourself that you too are gorgeous and sexy and brave!

As promised here is an image from my session at Ali Portrait Studio

Donna~Boudoir

I am so very excited to show you all some amazing images!  This weekend I had another gorgeous woman in front of my camera!  I had a great time getting to know her better and shooting awesome shots!  I was worried because I didn't bring lights with me for this shoot and was planning to use the natural light and then it was a rainy and gloomy weekend.  Fortunately by the time we begun the light came in wonderfully and really worked how I wanted!  

Donna is such an awesome model and person! Honestly I was so nervous to photograph her because she herself is an amazing photographer!   But it was way relaxed because of her awesome personality!! I hope I get the opportunity to photograph her in the future!!  Oh and by the way that skin and body of hers is all her! No need for photoshop!

Shandra ~ Boudoir

I am so excited to share this gorgeous woman's photos with you all!  She was awesome to work with and is seriously extremely gorgeous!! (the images I have chose to share are all classy but they do show skin)

Boudoir is such an amazing experience and I love to be able to give that to women!  It is time we start experiencing our own beauty and stop buying into what beauty should be.  We all possess beauty and owe it to ourselves to realize that!  I want to help you understand how gorgeous you truly are and how you can be beautiful and sexy and yourself!  Whether you want images for yourself or your significant other the experience in letting yourself feel beautiful is worth it!  #ExperienceYourBeauty

I was lucky to be able to photograph Shandra and I'm so thankful she is letting me share her insane beauty!  But her surface beauty is not the only amazing feature she has! She is such a sweetheart and I enjoyed just spending a few hours with her, getting to know her better! Which I am also thankful for that she allowed me to spend that much time shooting and jumping around haha!  I have been lucky to also photograph her with her children and get to see how amazing she is with them and see her love for her children!  I could go on about Shandra and her beauty but I will just share some images with you so you can see for yourself!
