Prom and circumstance...

April 27, 2010

The second half of senior year is full of fun and excitement, but also waiting... who will ask who to the prom? Then you get the date and ... you've gotta find the perfect dress! And shoes! And get your hair perfect! It's a night of celebration with friends, some lifelong, that will end all too soon as each goes into life on a different road. BUT, roads converge again for good friends (just look at us) and we have a feeling this group will be like that too. We all met at the BARN for a little session pre-prom at the Tulsa Aquarium for the Lincoln Christian Seniors.  Included in this little group is Megan Von Lanken - senior extraordinaire of Von Wedding Films fame and we were thrilled to get some time to play with them all -- even if we were chasing rain clouds all day!  Congratulations Seniors!  Good Luck on the trails of your dreams!

Uptown Girl

April 14, 2010

They make movies about this. Beautiful, sophisticated girl, is discovered in a small town and is whisked away to the big city. Rachel is that girl. Moved from Enid to Broken Arrow and is Dallas and New York City bound. Sweet, beautiful (and VERY tall), she has a poise and confidence about her much older than her 18 years. I think when she was born, a very wise and much older spirit was waiting for her to lend a guidance in her life allows to her see and perceive things in a rather unique way. She wants to work in the film and production industry and I think she will be a breath of fresh air there. (Okay, she reminds me of Ali McGraw, yes?) It was because of this aura she had and her fashion sensibilities, that we kept her session very "uptown". We had a lot of fun and, even though she appears very cool and collected, I saw the innocence in her when a car load of guys gave her a round of cat calls! She was a little flustered and blushing and it was so cute! SMU won't know what hit them! Go Rachel!

Ward Loves Reese ....

April 5, 2010

And Reese LOVES Ward! And they're getting married next month!  When I met Reese, I knew I would just love working with her! She is the sweetest, most easy-going person. (Okay, she's like a younger version of me! isn't that exciting?) Seriously, she is darling. So I can certainly see why Ward managed to "bump" into her in a store and not stop until he got her number! There was definitely something special on aisle 9 that day!   I finally got to meet Ward and there's no doubt in my mind that these two are MFEO! They are like two puzzle pieces that just fit together and make a beautiful picture.  They like to play scrabble and just hang out or grab a cup of coffee at Cuppie & Joe's so that's just what we did last weekend. We thought we'd start out in Bricktown but then I locked my stinkin' keys in the trunk of my truck! So we had to stay there until AAA unlocked me. Thanks for being so patient guys! We did get the beautiful "golden hour" light we might have missed otherwise though. ;) We even managed to bring Reese's pup,  little Blaze in for a few "family" pics.  I think he's ready to share Reese with Ward .... a little bit.

Beautiful Erin

April 4, 2010

I was so impressed with this young woman. She has a clear sense of who she is and what her destiny is and she follows it with all her heart. She has a natural beauty that radiates from her inner soul all the way out to her darling face!  Erin is graduating this spring from Booker T. Washington High School and pursuing a career in missions and world service. She has participated in missions through her church throughout her high school career and recently returned from Guatemala.  She loves people and is such a driven soul. She will definitely make a ding in the universe and I hope to keep up with her journey. Hey, Erin, maybe you could have a blog!

Springtime for Sammie ...

February 18, 2010

I can remember the spring before I graduated from high school. It was so fun! I had great friends and we had the whole world ahead of us to conquer. I totally love that about seniors. I love photographing seniors because of that wonder in their spirits. The possibilities that lie ahead. Sammie was full of fun and braved the Oklahoma wind last weekend for her senior pics. She's graduating from Broken Arrow this spring and is off to be a Cowboy!  I'm not kidding,  I could have shot her all day long. I think I did maybe wear her out a bit. :) She's so gorgeous and fashion forward. I LOVE that combination in front of my camera. It helps that she's a bit of a free spirit too. She's the baby of the family and that is music to my ears. That almost always = playful! We started out on the Jenks Bridge and just took off from there and ended up at a tree where one of her lost loves had carved their initials! How cute is that?! Here's a peek! Now, tell me, is she Fabulous or what?!HesterSammie-1399-Edit.jpgHesterSammie-1373-Edit.jpgHesterSammie-1419-Edit.jpgHesterSammie-1293-Edit.jpgHesterSammie-1438-Edit.jpgHesterSammie-1090-Edit.jpgHesterSammie-1578-Edit.jpgHesterSammie-1606-Edit.jpgHesterSammie-1022.jpgHesterSammie-1339-Edit.jpg
