Passion and Fashion!

I got an e-mail from a previous client about helping her on a project for her application for Redken. When I read what she had written, I just got sooo excited because it sounded like fun! This is why I love photography and I never want to limit myself because you miss out on fun opportunities such as Sunday.

Part of her application is a scrapbook filled with various things. Letters of reccomendation, clientel stuff and are you ready...............PICTURES!!!! WooHoo for pictures!!! She had told me a little bit about what was involved and the wheels started turning in my head. I tend to get carried away with ideas so I thought we might need to discuss further what was needed and wanted. Brittany has definately gone far and beyond of what is needed in her whole application packet and I love seeing how passionate she is about her career! We started to talk about ideas and hair and clothes and then by the end of it I just wanted to get up and start that day. But of course I had to wait for the weekend!

Brittany had set up 3 models to come in for the day to get their hair did and take some photos. The only problem was that is was pouring down rain outside and rain+hair= no no. So we did the best we could. The first model up was Kelly Ann and she had the worst of the weather. But she did awesome. I applaud all 3 girls for "working it".

By the end of the day the weather had cleared up and I got some amazing shots withthe last girl. I just want to post some cause I was sooo excited about them! I hope you enjoy!!!Ms Kelly Ann..... so cute!Ms AshleyShe was AMAZING!!! I just wanted to keep shooting her! Ms Tessa!

Brittany herself rockin' it!

Justin and Shelby Downtown

Last week my little bro-in-law, his girlfriend, and I went downtown to play around. It was the first day in along time that the sun came out and it was acting as if a blizzard was coming. We were blessed with such a beautiful day to snap some photos. They were sch great sports or shall I say models. Afterwards we went and got a cup of coffee at one of my fav spots. We chatted and soaked up some sunshine. It was a pretty good day if you ask me!

Justin and Shelby, I hope you enjoy!

Sweet Roots Photography Turns 1 - 2009 A Year In Review

So, it has almost been a year since Sweet Roots has come alive. It started out by taking pictures of my cute prego sister but I never dreamed that in the same year I would shoot 2 weddings, 3 engagements, 2 bridals, 7 family shoots, 6 kiddo shoots, 1 couples shoot, and a corporate gig. I have learned so much in the past year not only about photography but about myself. I have gained friends in the process which has made the journey that much sweeter! So, for a little review I am posting some of my fav shots that haven't been on the blog in a while from 2009. I can't tell you what 2010 is going to bring but, I can tell you this....I'm grabbing life by the horns so look out for Sweet Roots and some awesomeness that's going to happen!!!! Happy New Year!!!

I would like to end by saying this......... No matter what anyone says to you, about you, or behind you .... dreams do come true if you believe in them and in yourself!!!
