I have been so busy lately I havn’t had time to post any of the photos I have been shooting.  You have to love the contrast of the first two sisters, One a ballerina and one a boxer.  Now I have been taken the twins photos since they were little bitty girls they have grown up so much.  The other two sisters were so easy to photograph so sweet.   Of course I have to add one of Sarah.  Then there is Mr. S what a cutie.  Isn’t she such a sweet little baby girl. 

A fellow Photographer friend and I decided to go around my home state and and well take some pictures.  So for 7 days we fit in as much as possible.  I have come to the conclusion that I just love my state of NM.

Sarah and I had so much fun dressing her up and playing in her room.  We decided she definately need photos.  Here are a few of her fave outfits.  I only have one softbox and it is XL so it was a tight fit trying to shoot in her room and not get any blow outs with her white walls.

 I do love this chapel and all of its possiblilites for great photos.    Here are a couple of quick snapshots of Jon and Moni.  I love the sunsets you can see through the chapel windows.  What a great serene view.  My sunset photo from MO the other day was while at this chapel.

An Oklahoma sunrise.  This is a very rare site for me because I truly do not like mornings.  On our trips though I like to get out as early as possible.  The orange color for this and yesterdays post were pretty much the dark orange you see.  I did a little color pop but not much.

I Just love Sunsets.  I love sunrise’s also but I wake up to late for them usually.  This is a Sunset over Table Rock Lake in MO.  I just love sitting and looking at the sun go down. 

 I really like the Grunge action from Amanda (indiejane) I think it really  works on the photos I’ve been shooting.  As usual my very willing model. 

 Finally got around to get a few of these done.  I played with a few different actions and played a bit in PS.
