NICOLE ~ Such a beauty {lincoln, ca. senior picture photographer}

This is my first senior girl and it was so much fun! I did take senior portraits for my cousin {and I still need to post them}. But I promised a sneak peak so here it is. I am in the middle of trying to get all packed up and moved and I feel like my brain is mush...plus I was really nervous to do this session! I don't know why, but I was! So I totally left my glasses and phone by the side of the road somewhere while shooting and mom had to go and try to find them (sorry Deanna!) I felt like a total nut! It was also very windy, but the session turned out great and she was such a beauty tall and blond and eyes to DIE for!

As a photographer I always rack my brain for poses. I want to do something different so each pose isn't the same, yet each person is different so one pose does not always work for another. Let me know what you think of these, I would love to hear what your favorite poses are or what you try to do for inspiration with posing?

This first one is one of my favorites! The wind just worked perfectly with her hair and I love the motion it created!

Senior pic sneak peak

Just thought I would leave you with this little sneak peak before I left for tahoe for the weekend! :)

Sundance ski resort in Utah

This fourth of July we went on a trip to Utah. We always love to visit the mountains while we are there. The mountains in Cali. Just are not the same. Sundance is one of our favorite places. They have the best 5 star restaurant called the Tree Room. My Husbands brother was a chef there and we have had the pleasure of dining there more than once! It is also a ski resort in the winter and in the summer hiking and mountain biking and outside theatre. It was created by Robert Redford and origin home of the Sundace film festival... We took the kids for a little visit. Enjoy some of the pics!

Personality flaws

This beauty is my oldest daughter, I came across this today as I was giong through my vacation photos so I was thinking today about myself, and my personality flaws.

It occured to me that my children help me see the things I want to change.

It's funny when you hear your kids talk to each other and they are not talking nice, and it occurs to you "oh my goodness, that sounds just like ME!" This daughter of mine is an angel, she has been a ray of light since the day she was born, she is a beauty inside and out. She helps me be a better person, a better mom, a better woman. All my kids do, but as my only daughter I want to set a better example than what I had. I want her to be strong, I want her to be kind, I want her to make choices that will bless her life. I know those are things we all want. But sometimes I wonder what things she will hate about me, what things will I mess up on When I yell, and I am not patient and I criticize...I catch myself and think, "dang! I should be better" but it is hard and I find that one of my personality flaws is that I tend to talk harshly
even when I do not mean to. I guess I have been been putting myself under a microscope lately, Who is this person...I have changed so much in the last 10 years, sometimes I am not even sure
Just a little about me ~K

My Computer is getting all the buggs worked out! So I will be off line for a few days. Sheesh between vacation and this I feel like I am missing my bloggy friends...

I'll be back. :)

BACK FROM VACATION

This beautiful family is MINE! my cute little cousins who I used to babysit, not so little anymore. They are so handsome... My Aunt Uncle and their boys just moved to Utah, they were living here by me in Northern California, so I am sad to see them go.

This is one of my favorites from their family session, The middle one Taylor had me do his senior pics while I was there and I am excited to post those as well. (when I get some time to edit!)
