Shiny Happy People :)

I met this family at a daycare I photographed when mom was pregnant.





Things have changed a little since then! :)









Can you feel the love?
This image is going to encourage all of you couples to come in
next year for some special portraits!

I want to show the amazing relationships that I have seen.  
I've shown the children with all of their happy smiles, but where
do they get their smiles?  From their parent's love!

And not just couples with kids, the rest of you too!

I'm putting together the idea for something around Valentine's possibly.  If you get the e-mailed portrait specials, look for something after the first of the year.

What?
You don't receive my specials in your inbox?

Just email me @ Willow@WillowsPhotography.com and I will add you! :)

Danielle

Sister Sylvie has a lot of fun friends to photograph.   
This past weekend I hooked up Danielle with a photo shoot.  
Can you say EYES?!?!
Gorgeous!
I met up with David (a photographer I met at a workshop a couple weeks ago) and we took turns photographing this beautiful confident girl. I'm going to try to teach her to drive a stick shift next time I see her.  She claims 4 have tried before me but I have confidence and I'm determined!! We'll see how it goes :)

Rainy Day

I have been dying to do some portraits of kids in the rain
and today my dream came true!! :)



This little miss is very independent.
She loved the umbrella that I brought and this is what she
looked like when I asked her (very nicely) to put the umbrella
down and try wearing her hood...


Yaaa...no.

So back to the umbrella!


I kind of like that it is out of focus...I'm always looking for tack sharp
but sometimes you just have to get out of the box and feel it...
I love the way this one feels-fun!

a design

My sister Ali just started at a new salon and this is the card I designed for her to use for her first promotion (4x6).

In the design, I was inspired by Dez to start color blocking; mike hren inspired the background texture and the brush that created it; Deena (and Pete) inspired perfect alignment of text, love the asymetrical, don't you? :)
What do you think? That means comments with critique please!

I love having creative, inspiring people around me, it's the best!

Isn't She Beautiful?

I donated my sevices to a local school auction and met this girl.  
I love her coloring and her face shape and her beautiful eyes.  
You should see her closet, she has fantastic ecclectic taste for a junior.  I can't wait to photograph her more and show more of her outfits :) 
Y'all know I LOVE FASHION!

More Karissa...finally!!!

Here you go Karissa! :)

Costumed Cuties

On Halloween I opened up the studio for costume portraits. Oh my gosh was that ever fun!!!!  I hope you have as much fun looking at these cuties as I did photographing them.
 
I'm planning on "Costumed Cuties"again next year with donations being accepted for the CASA program  for those of you who plan ahead :)
































I know you all are just "dying" to know what I wore for halloween so here it is:


No, it's not Elizabeth Hurley, it's me!! ;)
I'd say I'm a 70's/80's urban cowgirl.  The sad part is you can't see my boots and everything, as usual too busy photographing everyone else :)

And here's my "East Indian" sister and I.  Her costume was awesome!  She had a real sari, did the whole traditional wrapping of it and all that.  



Do you see my fab Hawaii tan? 
Do you??
