d2009_09_13c27-copy I never noticed that Sam is the spitting image of Brett Favre until this shoot! Sam, did you know? And, I guess there’s no showing those pearly whites, right? :)

One of my favorite shots of two friends is up close and personal, like with Alyssa and Cara below. It’s almost as if I’m looking into the soul of their friendship…blessed that family and clients feel comfortable to let me into their space like this.

Hard to believe Rach is already a senior…just yesterday it seems she was our angel baby and then our silly four-year-old, stealing the show with her quirky antics. Oh how I miss those little people years. Blessed to have three beautiful young people now; it just goes so fast.

But…one bonus of time fleeting away so quickly was a summer of spur-of-the-moment shoots with a VERY willing subject. Pushed myself to break some photography rules and really had fun with Photoshop!

What a blast we had…here are just a few of our favs so far. She’ll be getting her braces off in a month or two, so that will give us another excuse to play some more! Most were shot with my Canon 85mm/1.8.
