Avalon

I had so much fun with Avalon at our shoot last weekend. Avalon is one of my skating students and I have known her since she was a baby. She's six now and all grown up! Besides being a skater, Avalon enjoys acting and she needed some new headshots. After doing some traditional headshots we had some fun with a little less traditional look. There are a ton of photos but she's so cute I couldn't pick just a few!

I love her laugh... adorable!

Avalon seeing how close she can get to the camera

Not posed, just loving the plant

I love Avalon's mom, Kelly. I don't think most moms would let their child lay down on a parking spot but Kelly knew it could be cool shot.

Love this one

Avalon the window display? =)

Dancing at sunset

I love the the light here... it was amazing!

The coolest wall ever!

Emily- Construction Zone Ahead!

Emily and I are friends for many reasons but one of them is we both have a weird/creative streak in us. I told Emily about this "cool" construction area I drive by all the time and wanted to know if she would get dressed up so we could shoot there. She said "yes, and I know what I want to wear". We headed out and Emily walked through weeds and uneven ground in her oh so high heels. A fun moment... Emily says, "RICHELLE, come here now!". I immediately assume she has seen a dead body (watching too much Law and Order and CSI). Instead, it was a dead rat being eaten by ants which just added to the feel of a construction zone. :-)

Emily didn't question my location and she had a picture in her head of what the outcome would be. Hopefully, these live up to what she thought it would and I know I love them! There are a ton more I want to post so I might so a follow up blog later on. Here is a taste of our fun!


One of my favs!








Sewer pipes never looked so good!








Towards the end of our shoot I remembered a red wall I wanted to use down the street. The sun was perfect to play with shadows!

The best models ever!

As I have progressed with my photography I have constantly been using my dogs for practice shoots. I have used every area possible around my house... or so I thought. I found a few more locations the other day. =)
