A Good Photo Shoot Is Easier Than You Think

Do you ever get nervous in front of the camera? Are you so fully aware of the fact that you don't know how to pose like a model? Well, so does 99.9%  of the world. You don't need to be a gymnast, dancer or model to pull off a good photo shoot. All you need is to follow my direction, mirror me as I demonstrate a pose, and be open to letting your inner beauty shine through.

Choosing An Outfit For High School Senior Portraits

It's not every day we get to wear a gorgeous dress. So it is my personal belief that every senior girl should get at least a couple photos in that special prom dress. Besides, odds are, Mom and Dad spent a pretty penny on it. Here are a few photos in honor of that cherished prom dress...

High School Glamour with Ambient Art Photography

It's that time of year again. In just a few short months a new flock of little birds will be leaving the nest and heading off to college. Are you ready?

While my husband can photograph boys so they look like rock stars or world class athletes, I like to bring out the celebrity glamour in girls. So in preparation for the graduations to come, I have put together a portrait package just for them.

Modern Glamour Portraits

Ever look at celebrities and wish you could be just as gorgeous? Well, you can! We all have a special beauty about us, it is just a matter of having it brought out and captured by someone who can see it.
Using my skills as a makeup artist, hairstylist, and photographer I now offer Modern Glamour Portraits. Portrait packages start at $450 and include makeup application and hairstyle.

My Sweet Little Room At Twelve Stones

Here are a few pictures of my room at Twelve Stones Salon.

Aquage's Biomega is one of the lines I'll be carrying. This is their Moisture Conditioner. Love it!

How great is this wall of photo's done by my talented hubby, Brett? All we need now are prints of our munchkins!

Just in case you bring a friend, they have a place to sit.

This is my fabulous station. The chair swivels around so I can shampoo your hair. The counter top is granite too! 

I look forward to seeing you at my new place. I hope you like it! :)

Meet Claire

For those of you who've been waiting to see if I had a boy or a girl....it's a girl!
I was blessed with a quick and uneventful birth. She was born just an hour after I showed up at the hospital. We are both doing well and I'm ready to go back to work. Thank you for all your prayers! I look forward to seeing you at Twelve Stones soon :)
