A favorite.

Whenever I was editing this photo, “When Love Came Down at Christmas Time” by Point of Grace, which I haven’t heard in a very long time, always got stuck in my head. Every time. So I’d be sitting there editing away, humming that song and before long I had it stuck in my sister’s head too. I’m sure that wasn’t quite the effect you were going for with the shirt, Eric, but it did make me laugh every time I started singing Christmas music.  :)

(this was Eric’s idea…I’m not mean enough to ask someone who doesn’t like water to balance on a railing above a ton of water ;)

I like this one. It makes me smile.

Another favorite.

I like this pair.

So we had finished the photo shoot and were back with the family at the fire, but suddenly my creativity finished thawing out and I just had to try something else. It was pretty dark by this time, but I wanted to try to some photos with a high ISO and just have them turn out nice and grainy. I rather like it.

I had a great time photographing Chelsea the other week. We headed to downtown Medford and her boyfriend, Caleb, tagged along, so we grabbed some photos with him too. Chelsea is such a sweet girl, always seems to have a smile on her face, and laughs easily, which of course spreads to those around her. I think these photos capture the joy and fun that surround her quite well. Not to mention, all I’d have to do is tell her to look at Caleb and voila! a huge smile would appear on her face.

And so to begin with, Chelsea and Caleb:

I love all the photos of her laughing! It was great, I told Caleb to make her laugh and it worked every time. :)

Beautiful.

So cute.

Love how Chelsea looks at him in these two.

Something about this one that I just love.

Love this one. So beautiful.

Josh and I headed out to Medford last week despite the threatening clouds overhead. The rain held off and I’m quite glad that we did the shoot because I haven’t had a chance to shoot in cloudy weather for a long time. Somehow the sun always seems to find a way to poke through the clouds when I have a photo shoot, but last week it did not and I rather enjoyed doing a shoot without the sun. I absolutely love how Josh’s photos turned out. I was going to comment on some of them like I sometimes do, but basically, I love them all and they capture Josh quite well, which I think you’ll see.

We did a few photos of Josh and his brother, Jarrett.

When Jennie booked a shoot with me, I knew that her shoot would be lots of fun because we’d be laughing the entire time since that just seems to be what happens when we’re together. Sure enough, that’s exactly what happened. We laughed and laughed and laughed. Jennie and I met in Ashland, hopped in my car to drive to the next location, and discovered that my car wanted the day off. Of course, it had to decide to not work during a photo shoot, but thankfully Jennie’s car came to the rescue. I love how Jennie’s photos turned out and I think they capture her quite well. Jennie always has a smile on her face and is always making people laugh.

Beautiful.

Love this one of her laughing.

Not exactly a senior photo, but I love this shot.

Jennie made a point of doing something funny every time I was checking the light and I loved this one too much to delete it. :-) It’s so cute and makes me laugh.

Gorgeous.

Favorite. Beautiful.

There’s a story behind this one. We’re out in this field and there’s this large old sign or something out there and on it we discover an open book and a cup of coffee. Curiosity gets the best of us, so Jennie decides to read some of The Black Widow to us. It was quite hilarious and I love this one of her laughing at the book. Random moments like this that can’t be planned make for such fun photos.
