Taylor

Adina is a very near and dear friend to me. So when she wrote me just before Christmas asking me if I would be available to take her brother's senior photos over break, I couldn't have been more excited. For one reason, I love any excuse for a photo session- especially with the new lenses Bluejay surprised me with on Christmas! And for another, I've never met her family before! They were in town from Vancouver for Adina's college graduation (congrats friend!) so I finally got to meet them after all these years of hearing stories! So fun. Apparently in Canada they don't take senior photos?!?! The photos they use in the yearbook are pictures of the grads in their caps and gowns! We might have a funny tradition of taking "model" type photos, but I SURE prefer that to a cap and gown picture! When Adina asked what Taylor should wear for the session, I said, "Anything that says 'Taylor'!" And I got it! A flannel and a toque (canadian for beanie). Taylor was really fun to shoot. He was up for anything. I had Bluejay come along to help me with my "man poses". I'm so used to shooting gorgeous girls and couples- it was a refreshing change to shoot a handsome hockey goalie!

Lacey

I first met Lacey a couple months ago at a steak dinner at Bluejay's work. Because I didn't know anyone, I sorta hung around my Bluejay and didn't talk to many people. If I'm honest, that and I was busy stuffing my face with juicy steak and beer, but I'll rather say that Bluejay was my security blanket of sorts. I'd rather be called a "Linus" than a glutton ha ha. Anyways, Lacey came and sat at the table. She was so cute and cheery. She wasted no time in telling me all the goofy things that Bluejay has done or said at work. None of which were a huge surprise. Lets just say that I knew what I was getting into when I married that fellow! It wasn't her adorably sweet personality that captured my attention- it was her GORGEOUS bluey/greeny/hazely eyes. Yes, those are real colors in my world. Like I was saying, her eyes were so spectacular that I momentarily forgot my steak and became obsessed with getting those eyes in front of my lens. This week, my dream came true! As it turns out, Lacey is an actress. After a couple weeks of Bluejay bragging about me (He's my biggest fan! Love you baby!) and Lacey doing a bit of blog stalking (which I am all in favor of), she decided she needed some head shots for her acting portfolio. When she showed up on Sunday, she made two really good choices- a teal sweatshirt that made her eyes POP and red cowboy boots. Who doesn't love red cowboy boots? I've been told by Bluejay that I'm not allowed to love them. Apparently I have too many boots already? I didn't know that was possible. Ever since I posted the sneak peek earlier this week, Lacey has been BEGGING for more. So here you go, Lace. Enjoy!

Fierce Eyes

I did some head shots/"anytime" photos for Bluejay's coworker, Lacey, today. I just uploaded them and I had to show you just a couple. Can you say fierce eyes? In each photo, I swear they are a different color! I love eyes. I love Lacey's eyes. The end. More to come!
