The Wedding Day is Here!!!

After months of planing, the wedding day is finally here. Courtney and Andrew are such a cute couple. They act as if they have been married for years, I loved it!!! I'm starting to learn that the girls preparation time is much longer then anyone can plan for, but that's all part of it. The boys on the other hand are always able to get ready in a hurry. Unfortunately, on this particular day that didn't work to their advantage, because they were all mine, lol....The day was hot and sunny and I took the boys on a daring trip to the R.R. Tracks. They were such good sports, not one of them complained and they all had great personalities and were fun to work with. I got a few looks from the dads that screamed "are you crazy lady," looking back I think I was. I just think God that no one got too dirty, and I will probably never try that again on the big day with that many people. When returning to the Church the bride was all upset that the guys were eating in their tuxes, if she only knew the adventure we had been on for the photo-shoot she would have hit the floor, lucky for her I know CPR, lol.... Really it was lucky for me the guys were able to stay clean and dry. Anyhow, due to the time crunch we were unable to get all of the photos in that I had planned for, but I think we will be able to make up for that during the dress photo-shoot, which we have yet to due. I hope you like the sneak peek and their are more to come. I would like to thank Courtney and Andrew for giving me the opportunity to shoot their big day, congratulations!!! Thank You.... I would also like to give the guys an extra big Thank you for being so cooperative. Enjoy!!!!

Little Love Birds

"Till Death Do Us Part"

This is a cool couple! So laid back, yet- rock'en a sharp look. I really enjoyed working with Cindelle and Adam! They are so cute together, making it easy to photograph them. The day was a little hot, but they were troopers, smiling through it all. I was a bit hesitant to break out one of my new ideas, "till death due us part". However, they seemed to love it and did a great job a playing into the roll. It turns out, there were so many neat shots from that location, too cool. During this photo-shoot I think I did better at giving direction, such as "smile", "serious"...etc. In the past I had a habit of just shooting without much direction, I think that drove people a little crazy. I'm so excited for these love birds, their wedding is just around the corner and I can't wait to get started on it!!! I hope you like the sneak-peek and as always, there are more to come... Thank you to Cindelle and Adam for giving me the opportunity to take your engagement photos and soon to capture your wedding!!! It's going to be so much fun... Enjoy the sneak-peek, the best ones may be still hiding in my computer??? See you soon....

Kaley's Senior Photos!!!

The senior sessions are always the funnest for me, I don't have to worry about them crawling away and crying, there's only one set of eyes I need to catch open and they follow direction so well. Kaley is such a sweet girl, just look at her!!! She was great to work with and the camera loved her. The day was a little muggy, but we started early so it wasn't that bad. I would like to Thank, Karen and Kaley for giving me to opportunity to kick off the senior year with her portraits. Kaley, it's going to go fast, so hang out with your friends as much as you can and enjoy it! As for your pictures, there were so many good ones to pick from, I hope you enjoy the sneak-peek! More are on the way!!! Thank You.....

Lucky and in Love!!!

When I started Perfect Reflections I vowed to never do weddings, they were way to scary for me! I'm so happy I've changed my ways!!! Although, they are alot of work and some stress is involved, they are boat loads of fun!!! This was a beautiful event; beautiful weather, beautiful people, beautiful landscape, and tasty food, couldn't ask for anything more. Everyone was super nice to me and my "handy assistant" -{Thanks mom} they treated us like family. I was thrilled to get this opportunity, and happy there are brave brides out there like Kristin. Not only was she brave in picking me without seeing much of my work, being my second wedding. She was also brave to trample through weeds in such a pretty dress, and not scared to get down with it to get the perfect shot. We were even going to venture out on a little John boat, unfortunately we ran out of time :( ... -I think Joe (the groom) was a little thankful for that, lol ... The main thing I learned from this is to wear comfortable shoes. My feet were killing me!!! My shoes were comfortable, if I were on level-dry ground but once I adventured into the wild to get my famous "weed" shots it was over. I was also able to reflect back at my work and see some areas I need to work on, but overall I love the photos. Thank you to the Bride and Groom for trusting me to capture one of the most important events of your life, I truly enjoyed it and I think it couldn't have went any better!!! Enjoy the sneak-peek, these are just a few I picked to play with, there are many more great pictures to come. Thank you!!!

Miranda's Senior Photos!!! *Summer*

Miranda is finally a senior, what an exciting time for her. As many may know, Miranda is Perfect Reflections #1 FAN!!! She is also my little sis. She is a trooper and my guinea-pig, I had her down in some really mean weeds by our lake and she smiled through it all. I know now to never take a client there again!!! Not only did our legs get a little injured but I got chiggers! This is my first run-in with chiggers and I will make every effort to make it my last. Anyhow, the day was wonderful and we got a lot of good photos. I worked on a few to give her a sneak-peek, not necessarily best of show but a few I picked, there are many more to come. Thank you, Mom and Miranda for being so supportive, I've came a long ways from our first photo-shoot (If I do say so myself).... I hope you like the sneak-peek. Miranda, you are smart and beautiful we are lucky to have you, in a few months this world won't know what hit it! Make the most of your last year in High School, one day you will miss it!!! -I do....
