Out of the Office

To all my wonderful clients out there. I wanted to let you know that I will be out of the office from March 10-23. I will not be answering any emails until I return. So as soon as I get back I will contact you and begin filling your print orders. Thanks so much for your patience.

Baby Booe Update

Today was an exciting day! Andy and I got to see our little one on an ultrasound. It was seriously amazing. I could have looked at that screen all day. We saw his/her head, body, legs, feet, hands, heart beat,spine, and sweet little face.  I just can’t believe that what I saw on the screen today actually lives inside of me. God is amazing! The doctor said that our baby is “perfect.” All looks good and the due date is still July 25th. Baby is currently 11 inches from head to toe and weights 1lb. The doctor asked us several times if we wanted to know the sex of the baby. We said “no” over and over again, which was super difficult for me. But we stayed strong. It was just so strange to know that the man sitting right next to me knew what we were having and we did not. Oh well. I guess we will know in a few months.

At this time please allow me to share our baby’s first pictures with all of you. I am sure you know this is just the beginning of our baby’s modeling career. HA! Enjoy.

Above: Here you can see that the baby is lying down flat looking up. This is a picture of his/her head, neck, and a small part of the torso.

Above: In this picture our baby is looking right at ya. You can see that his/her hands are by the face.

Senior: Maxx

Meet Maxx. He is a highly involved senior at Cooper High School and just an all around  great young man.  It was such a joy photographing him. We went to tons of cool places and got a variety of images.  He was great to work with and was willing to try anything. Here are some of my favs from his session.

Winter Formal: Sydney, Breanna, & Josh

This is sadly my last winter formal post. I had a blast doing these shoots and look forward to doing the same thing for prom. I am already booking up fast for prom so if you are interested email me and let me know asap! Now on to the session. I have both these girls in class and it was a pleasure photographing them. They both kept saying how much the liked Mrs. Booe outside of the classroom, which I thought was funny. We had a good time trying to get some unique images for them. Here are my favs. Enjoy!

Thanks ladies for being so great!

Other Side of the Lens

A little while ago Andy and I went to Louisiana to visit our good friends Charlie and Tori. Tori and I spent the entire weekend talking about fitness, food, babies, and photography. It was amazing because we never ran out of things to talk about. We are both passionate about the same things and it was just so great to visit with each other. Of course one of the big topics was photography. Anytime I know someone is interested in photography I just jump for joy.

Tori got a new camera for Christmas and is soaking up all kinds of information she can get her hands on about photography. So I suggested that we do a photo shoot and put that reading of hers to good use. We agreed to photograph each other and learn by doing. I photographed Charlie and Tori first and then Tori photographed Andy and I. I must confess that I am not very good at being on the other side of the lens. I can now relate to my clients for sure. I felt silly and unsure of myself. I don’t think it helps that at this moment in time I have a huge body complex about being pregnant, but that’s a whole other story for a different day.

It was super fun getting out and shooting together.I enjoyed helping Tori and am amazed that she is  already shooting in manual and gets great exposure. In this post you will see images that I took of the Goetz family as well as images that Charlie took with my camera while Tori photographed us. I love the idea of giving you all a backstage view of a photo shoot. Enjoy.
