Salem Head Shot Photographer | Beautiful Sneak Peek

While the weather was still warm I did a photo shoot with 

this gorgeous woman! Just a head shot for a sneak peek 

for now, but more to come very soon!

 

Salem Portrait Photographer | Brown Eyed & Carefree.

This little guy was my youngest son's first friend. 

They met before my son was even a year old (he is nearing 7 now).

I babysat this fine lad when he was a toddler 

and we had many fun adventures. 

Although his family lives halfway around the world (okay, it's not even halfway across the country, but it feels like it's halfway around the world!), we make an effort to see them every year. My son and I were fortunate enough to travel to New Mexico to visit and 

photograph him this past summer!

I love his big brown eyes. Always have. 

I get funny faces from him every year and I love it.

You know, just rocking out on his stick guitar, in the middle of the 

square in Santa Fe. Oh to be this carefree!

I am pretty sure this was not a grumpy face, but rather a 

contemplative face. I just love his profile. 

You have to love the tooth gap. It screams SEVEN YEARS OLD to me. 

Mr. Serious.

Or not.

I am insanely jealous of his lashes. People always say that boys have the best lashes, but I assure you...he got them from his mother. 

I am not even sure what it is about this photo that I love so much, but I feel like his eyes tell a story and I swear I get a shot like this (unintentionally) every year. Look at those perfect lips (also from his mom), freckles spattered across his nose, and the perfect shape of his face. He's not smiling. He's not frowning. He's not doing anything...except telling a story with  his eyes. 

Until next year, Mr. H!

Click click misses you!

Traveling Portrait Photographer | Beauty in the Southwest.

I had the privilege of shooting this gorgeous woman in 

Santa Fe, NM last month. She is sweet, funny, and smart. I had my youngest child with me and she brought him a treat! How awesome is that?! 

Yeah, he pretty much thought she hung the moon after that.

Thank you, Santana!

Santana is a sign language interpreter and I'm pretty sure I caught her signing to a friend off camera. She intermittently adds signs while she is talking and I am not even sure she realizes she does it. 

Salem Portrait Photographer | Coolest eyes ever.

I love eyes. Love them. All colors. All shapes. 

I love how different they all are.

I swear that almost every time I do a photo session I think that my 

client has the best eyes I've ever seen. This kid, however, really DOES 

have the coolest eyes I've ever seen! He is friends with one of my 

kids and was kind enough to let me snap a couple of quick shots of him while they were running around outside. 

One of his parents has brown eyes and one has blue eyes.

He told me that when he was born that one of his eyes was green, but has since changed (I can't remember if it was the brown or blue).
