she thinks my tractor's sexy....

I did a photo shoot a few weeks back for an up and coming hair stylist (Liz -- you should go to her, she's awesome) and one of the fabulous girls who modeled for the portfolio was Jordan. I had an amazing time photographing her! She was a little nervous at first, but really got into the shoot and even did some poses not for the faint of heart -- she climbed over a fence and up a tree, scaled haystacks, and even climbed into a tractor...in a dress I might add!

Here are a few of the shots we came up with.

go ahead and jump!

So you may know that one thing I try to do at every shoot is a great jumping picture. Not only are they fun, but I think you can get to know a lot about a person by their jumping style! It says a lot about who they are.

For example, you can tell by Mackenzie's jump that she is spontaneous, bubbly, and loves to have fun. She'll jump into a project or idea immediately and have fun with it.



Bethel's jump shows that she tests the water before making a decision, but once she's made it, she's passionate about completing it. The first shoot I did with her, the jumps were cautious. The second shoot, however, she was jumping off haystacks and kicking her legs in the air.

So now, I present you with some of my favorite jumps! You can observe and decide for yourselves what the personalities of the jumpers are like...or maybe even try a jump yourself!

Your eggo is preggo, no doubt about it.

Let me introduce you to Ariel and Promise. They were both at the shoot I did on Monday, and they are both pregnant! It was so cute...both sisters are about a month apart in their pregnancies, so I couldn't help but get some cute preggo pics of them!

This is Ariel and her soon-to-be little girl, Bailey.

And Promise and her soon-to-be boy, Elias

And both sisters, cute and preggo!

the benefits of being married to one good lookin' man!

The hubby and I are spending the week in Tahoe, and it's been raining just about all week! We took advantage of a few rain-less hours and drove to Tahoe City for the afternoon. I couldn't resist snapping some photos of Ben to share with the world!

And of course, the quintessential jumping picture!
