… a time to blog bio picture

Welcome to my blog!

I am so happy that you have found your way here, this blog is a place for all of my amazing clients (and hopefully some future clients as well),and other photographers, photography enthusiasts, etc to visit, check out what's going on with me and with the studio, and to see some fresh work! You may have noticed the bible verse up at the top of the page, that verse is from the Old Testament, and most people will recognize it as the lyrics from a popular song from the 60's. Well that verse basically sums up my outlook on life, and my business. I believe that we all pass through seasons in our lives, good, bad, exciting, etc, and my philosophy, for my studio, is centered around helping my clients to record the emotions and events of those different seasons! There is a time to laugh, to love, to mourn, to dance. For me, this is my time to blog, to share a bit about myself with you, and I hope you will share with me as well! More posts will be coming soon, but for now Welcome, I look forward to sharing a bit about myself with you! XOXOXO Christie :)

Lauren’s got Senior Style!

We had a blast on saturday shooting with Lauren around town! She was a great sport, up for anything, which is always good when we are working to create a senior session with individuality and style! Lauren is a natural in front of the camera, has loads of confidence and it shows in the beauty of her images! Below are some of my faves, I have to say I should have limited myself more, but I had a hard time picking just a few favorites so here they are!!

We started out in their back yard, I am loving their new landscaping, I need to get on some exterior updating of my home!

I gotta relate to a magazine fanatic, I love them, my hubby has to force me to throw the old ones out and it’s heartbreaking!

Lauren requested this one, since her BF hates pink, she though this would be funny, I love it!

Just before this was taken we had an “amateur” photographer who was having just a bit too much “fun” took a photo of Lauren with his iPhone asking “is this for a magazine, are you a model?”

One of my favorite things about Downtown Reno are these beautiful huge flower baskets that hang on the foot bridges and light posts, the colors are amazing!

Look at those eyes!

Our last stop was downtown Sparks, where Lauren proved that she is a true supermodel, and braved the Theater Fountain for the sake of some amazing images, and boy did we get some breathtaking shots!!

Thanks so much for choosing me to produce Lauren’s Sr. Photos, I had so much fun with you all and I can;t wait for you to see all of the proofs!

Monica & Steve’s Engagement Session-Tahoe City, CA

Monica and Steve met me up in Tahoe City, one of my favorites spots on the lake, a couple of weeks ago. We had a blast walking down the beach, checking out the marina and then walking back up the street with the beautiful view of the lake at sunset! These two are so fun, up for whatever I wanted to try and we had a blast. I can;t wait for their wedding in September, it is going to be B-E-A-U-tiful! Here are a few or so of my faves, I may have gone overboard there, but I had so many faves, so enjoy!!

Monica & Steve, Thanks so much for such a fun shoot, I really had a blast, and I can’t wait to work with you again on your big day!

Oh and PS to any photogs out there, I wanted to mention that many of the images in this post were processed with the Boutwell’s TRA2 action set which I recently picked up and totally LOVE, the “dirt” actions are especially useful and time-saving!!!
