family portrait time.

"Family Portrait Day" is a phrase that has the ability to strike terror in the very souls of many. When was the last time you had a family portrait taken? Have your kids sprouted up (as they all tend to do)? Have you added any new family members? Babies? Spouses? Is your son's ex-girlfriend, whom he can't stand the sound of her name, in it? I know our family can list many of the above reasons for needing to update the family portrait. Those holiday cards and newsletters will be going to friends and family around the world. Why not include a current family portrait for them?

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here in Arizona this summer and I feel super fortunate for the opportunity to shoot Christi & Andres and their darling daugher, Krysta. I enjoy seeing couples who are so in love that it shows in every photo you see. Krysta was a kick when, at the end of the session, she sat down and began nibbling on the grass as we shot some of just mom & dad.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending the Create Better Images Intermediate workshop in Mesa (http://www.createbetterimages.com/). We had an intense six hours of information and shooting and I learned a TON. My favorite part of photography workshops is that regardless of how much you think you know, there is always room to learn more. From tips and tricks to learning how to leave my flash and tripod behind, I was able to put my new skills to use. Thanks to Jennifer Bowen and Kimberly Jarman for hosting this amazing workshop.

Our lovely model wanted to make sure that we clarified that this man in the photos with her is her cousin, who became the stand-in when her husband couldn't make it.





An added bonus: Kimberly and I were really good friends in first and second grade and haven't seen each other since. It's always nice to catch up with old friends.
