Amanda’s party invitations (bookmark style)

I just received Amanda’s high school graduation party invitations and I like them so much I just had to share! Since Amanda likes photobooths, (and who doesn’t?) I did something similar to Trevor & Erica’s “Save The Date” cards. Check ‘em out!

Amanda, you’re such a awesome chick! Have a fantastic party, girl!

Happy Birthday Zoë!

Seven years ago this morning, I was freaking out…driving your mommy to the hospital.
Seven years ago today, I was so scared when the nurse said, “We have to do an emergency operation to save your baby.”
Seven years ago tonight, you were in my arms…sleeping.

Seven years ago today, my life changed for the better.

Zoë, I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day! I love you all the way to the moon and back!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Easter!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and enjoyed a fun-filled day with their families! Here’s a quick shot of Zoë working the camera before heading to Grandma’s house!

Also…please stay tuned! Lot’s of stuff coming up soon here on the blog! A wonderful wedding in Mexico, a model shoot in Las Vegas, some way-cool engagement sessions and plenty of other fun stuff!

And by the way, I just celebrated a little anniversary! It was just three short years ago that I decided to “do my own thing” and see if I could turn a hobby into a profession. Since then, I have been so overwhelmed by the support that I’ve received along the way! So, to my family, friends, clients and blog readers…THANK YOU so much!!!!! I can never say that enough! YOU inspire me to improve myself every single day!

Okay, back to work! Talk to you again soon!

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone has a holly, jolly Christmas!

Happy Halloween!

Just a quick one of Zoë gettin’ her Halloween thang on! Actually, not near as scary as what she looks like first thing in the morning!

By the way, the shot above was taken with the Lumix DMC-LX3. Got to be the best point & shoot that I’ve ever touched…it’s soooo YUMMY!! Plus, it’s nice to not look like a total dweeb…carrying around one of my huge work cameras!

Amanda

Yeah, yeah, yeah…I know I’ve said, “I don’t shoot seniors” hundreds of times. And that held pretty true until recently when my assistant, Patty asked (relentlessly bugged the crap out of me) to shoot her daughter’s senior pictures. I remember telling her “no, no, no” so many times…I’m so glad that I finally said “yes.”

I had such a great time with her Amanda that afternoon…she is such a beautiful person, inside and out. I’ve said “I don’t shoot seniors.” over and over again but after shooting Amanda’s senior pictures, I think I might have to rethink my position on that! It was sooooooooooo much fun!

Ok…let’s rock! Here are some of my faves…and I swear, I could have posted about a hundred of her!

LOVE IT!! I think this is my favorite…but, I do reserve the right to change my mind!

Told ya she’s beautiful!

I ~~was so inspired by~~ ripped this idea from the unbelievably talented Amelia Lyon. I only steal from the best! BTW, those are Amanda’s own shots around her!

Another one of my faves.

The alley.

WOW…gorgeous!

Smiling…sorry, Amanda!

Amanda, you are so witty, beautiful, fun, and smart…you made my job so easy! And thanks for being so willing to sit on those skanky alley steps! You ROCK!

Push. Play. Print.

I know, I know…about a year ago, I said this was coming soon! Well, at least it’s still 2008!

Meet the Freezeframez photobooth! It’s a cool, modern alternative to the old, sit-down style photobooths!

You can check it out at Freezeframez.com for all the juicy details! I’ll post much more about it soon! This shot was done without the curtain attached in order to show how different the Freezeframez photobooth actually is!

Sneak Peek – JR and Kristine!

chad franz — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 04:57:55 +0000

No, I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth!

Here’s a little sneak peek of JR and Kris! I should have theirs all done and up in the next day or two!

I’ve been super-busy and I’ll be posting a bunch of stuff soon! Eric and Holly, Joe and Stephanie, Nick and Leah as well as Amanda’s Senior Session all on the way!

Kiera!

At our last Pictage User Group meeting, we were hangin’ out so I clicked a few frames of my friend and fellow photog, Kiera Dubach. She’s an awesome photographer and has an even awesomer (new word alert…copy/paste as needed) personality! Check out her site…um, after you’ve determined that I’m already booked, of course! Here are my favs…

Love it!
