May 31st, 2011 - Megan // Portraits // Nashville, TN
This, my dear readers, is Megan. I met Megan in Nashville and we kind of immediately hit it off. She’s from Michigan (which just so happens to be where my favourite rapper is from), and she has a quick wit and a fast laugh (two important qualities when interacting with me). Apparently she’s an awesome [...]
May 28th, 2011 - Boudoir Session.
BOUDOIR– a woman’s dressing room, bedroom, or private sitting room. (This is the official definition.) In terms of translating into photography talk, a Boudoir photoshoot is a sexy, “barely there” photoshoot that is typically given as a gift to someone special. This is a “for his eyes only” shoot, and a lot of brides-to-be have [...]
May 25th, 2011 - Kate & Isaac // Wedding Part II // Rome, GA
Let me tell you a little more about Kate & Isaac, because their story is pretty unique. They met their sophomore year in high school while they were in BOLIVIA! (yeah, wild!). They were dating other people while in high school, but became friends. After leaving Bolivia, Kate went to Georgia and Isaac went over [...]
May 24th, 2011 - Strobes, flash, & boom.
Recently, and with the help of my photographer friend, I picked up a Elinchrom Ranger Quadra Kit (w/2 A heads) and a 39″ Octabank. While studying at Hallmark, I used strobes a lot in the Portrait Studio, and while it was fun, it wasn’t anything I wanted to get into. But then, I mean, it’s [...]
May 18th, 2011 - Kate & Isaac // Wedding Part I // Rome, GA
Ok. Let me tell you how small of a world it is. Last summer there was a local photographer who double-booked himself, and approached me to take one of his weddings. I had the date available, and was happy to photograph the wedding. It was a sweet, lovely wedding and everyone there was fantastic. It [...]
May 16th, 2011 - Carol Jane // Portraits // Cleveland, TN
It was Mother’s Day 2011 and these three lovely ladies made the trip to Cleveland, TN from Nashville to spend part of their Mother’s Day making Carol’s Senior photos, and some Family portraits. What an honour for me! I first met Erin (the girl on the left jumping), last summer in Nashville. What a sweet, [...]
May 10th, 2011 - Amy // Portraits // Cleveland, TN
Yes yes yes! This is Amy and she is an Opera Singer. (who can even say that?!) Amy has a charming personality, incredible eyebrows, brought some great outfits to choose from, AND was willing to shoot in a graveyard (you probably can’t tell it’s a graveyard if I did my job right!) Amy is moving [...]
May 6th, 2011 - Montessori Elementary School // Portraits // Cleveland, TN
The night before the I made the Montessori Elementary School photos, I had a nightmare that I got up around 5am to prep for the shoot and when I got to the school, it was still dark. When I got to the school, I realized I had left my photo assistant at home, and panicked. [...]
May 4th, 2011 - A day in the Life (of SaraRenee) via iPhone photos.
Life’s busy and full of sweet, sweet things! I’ve been shooting a lot, but not finding time to post as many shoots as I’d like to. So to play catch up: here are some iPhone photos that I’ve taken over the past month. (I’m really into documenting my life via the iPhone 4.) Some things [...]
May 4th, 2011 - Easter Family Portraits
It was Easter Sunday, April of 2011 and I had the distinct pleasure of joining the Bowman Family for their Easter dinner, and had the opportunity to photograph family portraits. There were two sleepy, smiley babies: Harley and Donovan. There was plenty of great food, and a house full of family. (These are all things [...]
