New photo art work to share

So I have been very lazy in posting any work that I have been working on outside of Captured Miracles. Well lazy is not the right word...just swamped. With 2 little ones and one on the way, finding time to do the "extras" (like blogging) gets tight, but I am working on making it more of a priority. :)



This is a new born shoot that I did for my midwife. She wanted something that was modern...no fluffy stuff or cursive. I love how it turned out. I have two different kinds so I thought I would post both. There were so many cute shots from the shoot. These were a couple of mine and the mommy Sarah's favorites.


Also I did this bridal a while back and kept meaning to post it but haven't been able to until now. I shot her sister's bridals 6 yrs ago and she called me out of the blue saying that ever since her sister's shoot, she wanted me to do her's. It was a blast, they flew me in and we made a day of it. These are only a few of the many we did. It was so hard to pick my favs. I just LOVED how it turned out. I love treating bridals like fashion magazine shoots. Takes me back to the good old days of my fashion editorial shoots. I guess it is not the good old days since I still do fashion too:)

HER GOAL "I created this collection because I wanted to do something with my talents that would help children while touching and inspiring others to make a difference."
