It's been forever since I've posted.  The blog always seems to be on the back burner in comparison to retouching shoots and weddings, new shoots and client meetings, and being full time mom of four little angels. ;)  A few weeks ago I had the privilege of doing a session with one of my childhood friends who lives all the way over in New Mexico now.  I haven't seen here in several years but you've gotta love social media...thanks to facebook we got to do a shoot when she came to town!  Here are just a few portraits from our super fun modern boudoir session.  (It's even half of a mini-makeover because she let me do her makeup!  Woohoo!)  Hope you enjoy!  There will be more portraits from this session on our website very soon.  You can check it out here:  www.boudoir.trinityridge.com. :)

Last night Joseph and Candice were married at the gorgeous Thorncrown Chapel here in Eureka Springs, AR.  It was a lovely evening wedding and was blessed by a cool mist of rain outside.  Fortunately, I'm all caught up on weddings, so I was able to retouch some of their portraits and get them online quickly!  Here are a few of our first faves from the night.  Hope you enjoy!

Thought I would upload an example from one of our first "Mini Makeover" sessions! These are a TON of fun!! I never thought I would get the opportunity to mix my love of doing hair and makeup with my passion for photography. Now, I'm thrilled that I've found a way to do it!! In our mini makeover sessions, I do the hair and makeup and Dad and I shoot a mini session afterwards. It's a fantastic gift for family members, but especially wonderful to give to yourself. So here's a quick look at a before and after from one of our first sessions with the lovely Danita.

Welcome to my newest  blog!  Ha ha - yes, I've changed it again.  I guess having the ability to change website and blog designs is good for someone artistic and indecisive like me. :)

A lot has been happening here this month!  We launched our boudoir website - www.boudoir.trinityridge.com - which was super exciting. :)  We started doing our mini-makeover photo sessions, and I'm thinking we will be creating a website for them very soon considering the immediate requests that came pouring in after posting our first before/after portraits.  We got to shoot an amazing rap group called SoundChild Crew.  Not only was the shoot a blast, but I like their music so much - they've gained some new fans!!  Here is their website: http://www.1lifeproductions.com/main.htm.  You should definitely take some time to check them out!  I'll leave you with a few portraits from our session with them - enjoy! :)

I can't believe 2010 is over!  I have to admit, I'm not really sad to see it go...although, I'd love to drag out my kids' childhoods as much as possible.  This year was full of beautiful weddings and wonderful clients.  Personally, one of the hardest years ever - but absolutely the most rewarding.  I'm so happy that I made it through the big trials this year and now I'm stronger than ever.  2011 is going to be amazing. :)

On a side note, I want to say a special thank you to the wonderful man in my life - Charles.  Every day since I met you has been better than the day before.  You are a beautiful soul and exactly what I have been looking for but wasn't really sure existed.  Thank you for everything that you are.  I love you dearly.

Well, just so you have something to look at - here are a few recent portraits from Jay and Leah's wedding.  Hope you enjoy them!
