Mac & Tori - Maternity Shoot

The thing that I LOVE the most about making pictures 

is capturing the adoration that pours from couples like Mac & Tori! 

I was lucky to get to work with them on their wedding, 

and when I found out that they were expecting 

I couldn't wait to get them back in front of the camera! 

They are going to make such amazing parents, 

and little Zoey is such a lucky baby girl to be born into such a beautiful family!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our shoot!

Sneak Peek for Mac & Tori

Yesterday I got to shoot some maternity pics for Mac & Tori! 

I had such a great time working with them & I can't wait to meet little Zoey!

I'll post more pics later this week!

Summer Photos

I've always been taught that honesty is the best policy. Here is my truth:

I'm not a professional photographer. (*gasp*)

I hope none of you are disappointed.

I have never claimed to be professional.

I have taken photography classes and I intend on taking more,

BUT ...

PHOTOGRAPHY IS MY PASSION

I have chosen NOT to major in photography for that exact reason. 

I would HATE for my passion to become a chore, a stressor, 

or turn into something that I do not enjoy. 

I have chosen a major that I believe in so that I could keep my passion for photography alive.

That being said, I have a favor to ask of you. 

I am CRAVING some summer shoots! 

My arms are literally aching to hold my camera and my brain

is needing to exert some creative juices!!

Let me share with you what I have in mind:

- $25 photo shoots

- 1 location, 1/2 hour of shooting

- 10 edited images on a disc

(More locations, longer shoots and more images can be negotiated)

The reasons: I have a desire to learn. I have a desire to become better. 

I have a desire to explore and develop my creative options, 

AND, I want to give those of you who have "stuck by me" thus far a big "THANK YOU!"

If you are interested in a super cheap photo shoot or want to volunteer to model, 

I'm more than happy and willing to work with you!! 

I am easiest reached via e-mail (clarlawphotos @ gmail . com) and can't wait to hear from you!!

And now for a picture, because this is a photography blog, and it's a rule. 

I took "Nikki the Nikon" out for a drive a few weeks back and tested out the macro setting!

Chad & Chan - Engagements

Last week I was privileged to shoot some Engagements for these two! 

I had a great time getting to know them and capturing their beautiful relationship! 

They were so laid back and wonderful to work with 

and I appreciated so much being able to work with them!

Here are my favorites from our shoot! Enjoy!

As always, keep smiling,

Sneak Peek for Chad & Chan

Zions National Park

We went to Zions for a Spring Break/Anniversary getaway in March! 

We had a fabulous time breaking in Nikki the Nikon while hiking around through the park! 

Here are a few of our favs!
