Perkins Family

Yesterday was so much fun photographing an awesome family. Full of smiles! The Perkins' came over for what I later found out,  was a first for a family portrait. I would have never guessed! Take a look for yourself.

I hope to photograph them again in the Spring! Such a great family.

Meet Teagan

A couple weeks ago I took pictures of Tegan's mom, Janie. Well, today I would like to highlight Janie & Dustins bundle of joy.

Such an adorable little girl.

Stephanie,Corbin and Kinnick

What a great family. This session was alot of fun and not to mention Kinnick was adorable. Good luck with the hunting this season Corbin!

Kinnick was getting tired of the outfit changes, after a bottle he decided he was done Too cute not to get a shot of this.

Janies Maternity session

What a fun lovin' gal! I work with Janie so I had asked her to be my model for a maternity photoshoot. I went to her home, rearranged some furniture and away we went by hanging the clothesline to start. From there we rolled around in the floor, shot some great pictures and shared many laughs. I will be posting more on my website tomorrow for now here a sneak peek.

Waterhouse Wedding

Hot pink flowers,blue eyes and a little man in his own tuxedo! It was my nieces big day and I got to be a part of it. We started the day at 1:00 at Salon Rage followed by the beautiful ceremony and off to the reception. Here's a sneak peek!

Pictures will be uploaded on my web site for viewing & to purchase by Wednesday.

Welcome

Welcome to my new blog - Reflected Memories Photography. Here I will showcase some sneak peeks of my photo sessions, tips & tricks I have learned along the way and some DIY studio backdrops and equipment. My business is slowly coming along. I have my web site and art studio finished. I have several sessions booked from weddings to family portraits within the next couple months. Follow my blog for a journey with me through my lens.

Portrait Photography

Well this has been a busy week. My nephew Trevor, is getting up there in age :) Well, really his Aunt Tina is getting up there in age. He will soon be 18 and possibly off to the Marines ( after he passes his tests ) so I wanted to get some pictures of him first. At first I told him this was his Senior pictures and he said " Aunt Tina, I'm not a senior, I quit school ." well, I told him these could be his GED pictures since he is going that direction. Highschool is not easy for a 17 year old that is tired of school and doesn't get along to good with the teachers. BUT - I bet he will get along with the officers in the Marines, or at least he will by the time boot camp is over.Me with my camera and him with his 10 gallon hat. We set out on Saturday morning to Fort Madison to shoot.By noon we had over 100 pictures. WOW, was he done taking pictures. I will not post them all here, if you want to you can see them on my Flickr page. By the way- he is not a big smiler so these are very natural. We are going to get back together and take a few more with smiles since his mom wants to see that grin he has :) Here are a few of them. Some of them have been edited - but mainly these are straight from the camera. Now of course he had to have one funny one- can you figure out which one it is ?
