Words in Ashes [A CONCEPTUAL SHOOT]

 This past Wednesday being Ash Wednesday inpired an idea.  Ash Wednesday, for those who don’t know, marks the first day of Lent, which is a period of repentance, moderation and spiritual discipline. I wanted each of my subjects to chose a word that represented where they were spiritually in their relationship with God. The word could [...]

Cupid and Her Targets [A CONCEPTUAL VALENTINES DAY SHOOT]

So, every now and then I whip up a conceptual shoot in my head and then I pray that I can execute it to make it match my vision. When your subjects are 6 and under- matching the dream to reality can be a challenge. I decided that I wanted to create a series where [...]

Baby Mario’s REAL Newborn Shoot

Straight from the NICU, what does Aunt Sheri do??  I hang that prescious baby from a tree branch and put him out in the woods. Yup, you all know my motto….ART BEFORE SAFETY…or COMFORT. Little Mario did amazingly well considering most of these crazy positions and situations work best with 5 and 6 day [...]

ME; Getting Shot Shooting [wrap your head around that title!]

So- today, I had 3 shoots, like any other Saturday afternoon. However, this Saturday was unique because I had a tag along for the day! Photographer Dave Rhoades (www.rhoadesphoto.com) was in Cape this weekend shooting a bull riding event at the Show Me Center. He contacted me to see if I would like to “talk [...]

Here are a few of the images from the party. ENJOY! Parents, call the studio if you would like to order any of the images that you see or [...]

The Beggs Farm Field Trip [my bambinos]

People ask why I am often the only parent at an event without a camera of any sort. The reason is that if I have my camera with me….I work. I not only annoy my own children, I also tend to annoy everyone around me because every scene becomes a photoshoot. Our field trip to Beggs [...]
