Ashley.

 

 

 

Meet Ashley. This G O R G E O U S girl was such a blast to get to know! She is such a sweetheart, and as you can see so pretty. Just a few; enjoy.

 

 

 

watch out ANTM!

Recently I have done two shoots (this is the first post of the two) that I have done with Emily (this drop dead gorgeous girl) and can I just say WOW! She is AMAZING in front of the camera! Seriously, a natural!

 

 

I love you… You love me…

This cute little family would be the Barney family! Yes, that is right, Barney… like the great PBS show we all used to watch (and love) as little kids with the big purple dino.

Anyways, they are a super cute family and they were so much fun to shoot! Even though we had a few tempertantrums, it was still a blast!

Aren’t these two just so dang precious?!

The Little Mermaid!

Yeah, that’s right! I’m so pro that Disney asked me to do pictures for them of the little mermaid! haha, jus kidding! But seriously, she definately does look like the little mermaid (minus the fins and the purple shell bra) She has the big blue eyes, and long red hair to fit the part! This girl is so dang gorgeous it’s insane! (secretly I want to steal her hair! It’s naturally super thick and curly!!! I guess I can dream…)

Any who, this is Libby! We hit it off great! We both have similar (sarcastic) personalities so it was great! She is going off to school soon up to Reno! Good luck!

Just a few more seniors left…

Alright, so I am offically DONE with Summer school!! I don’t think that I could be more happy! Don’t get me wrong, I love UNLV (it’s an awesome school!! WOOO!! Go Rebels!)  I even like going to school to learn (big shocker right there I know) but, seriously, 2 years of beyond full time school (Fall, Spring, Summer… and taking at least 15 credits) it kinda wears on ya, and kicks your butt. That’s why I am so excited for my year and a half break I have coming up!!! I know, I know… you probably are like, uh, Chauntelle don’t drop out… But don’t worry! I’m not! I am going on a mission for my church!! (Yes, I am LDS) My papers are in the mail on their way to me right now!!! (AHHHHHHHH) So I should know where I am going and when I leave for the MTC (missionary training center) either Thursday or Friday! I am super excited, but that also means that this blog and my website will be down for a year and a half. But, for those of you that want your pictures done, I am still accepting shoots… just no weddings :(

Alright, onto the pictures… So, this gorgeous babe-a-licious (go with it okay haha) blonde is Tori… I’ve know Bird (yes, bird. Her nickname since she was a little baby) for a while now. She is one of my neighbors and my sisters friends. She pretty much has the best style EVER in the history of the world! So… here is lovely Tori… :)

This GORGEOUS girl is Kristen… It was soooo much fun doing her pictures! She is sooooo photogenic it made me sick, and it was beyond hard to choose just a few to post of her, so enjoy! There are a million of them :)

The first two are her announcements that I designed…

This has to be my absolute most favorite picture from the whole day which really is saying something because we took a TON of amazing pictures… I love how it is so natural! Whenever I look at this picture  I can’t help but smile thinking back to how much fun we had doing her pictures. I L O V E photography and I think that one of my favorite things about it is interacting with all the people! I love to get to know tons of people and capture their interactions and personalities. So fun :)

This is my second favorite from the shoot I think… it is a super hard decision though! But I really love everything about this picture! She is so dang beautiful! Thanks Kirsten for such a fun morning!

The lovely Courtnie…

This gorgeous girl was such a blast to photograph! I think that we hit it off from the start and our personalities were so similar it was great! We hadn’t met before the shoot, but we became instant friends! I love that about photography, you get to make friends 24/7, it’s fabulous :)

Anyways, Courtnie is graduating this year and heading off to college! Good luck!!

Just a few…

On a side note, just for Becky… :) these pictures and also the pictures from the last post of my sister are all done with my recently purchased Canon 5 D Mark II… let me just tell you, I never thought that I could love a camera… uh, well folks it is possible I am totally, and completely in love with my camera!! The pictures are so crisp and they all seem so flawless on the camera, I swear if I didn’t love editing then with this camera I wouldn’t have to!

baby sis

Alright, sorry to my two followers, and of course all of you secret blog stalkers (you know who you are… leave some comments on here instead of telling me to my face haha love you guys though)  that it has been so long since I have updated my blog!! I have been super busy with work and of course finals and guess what?! I am officially done with CSN this week!!!! Adios, ciao, shalom, bis dann, GOODBYE!!! I am so excited to be moving up in the world to UNLV!! I feel like such a big girl now haha. I am totally excited for a bigger campus and hopefully more school spirit! I have a few weeks before I start summer school so I am going to try and get this blog caught up! So… moving on…  

 My little baby sister is all grown up and graduating!! (as you all have seen by her gorgeous pictures all over the place) We decided to do some way fun pictures for her announcements out at this awesome museum and found some props to use… although we had to be super sneaky haha it was such a blast doing pictures for her!

Of course she had to decide AFTER we did them that she wanted a different style for her announcements… haha So we took some more pictures in studio (thanks Candace for letting us use your studio) But I think that they definately turned out way cute and we both love them! Thanks sister for letting me take pictures of your gorgeous face!

special, special, read all about it!

Alright, so I was talking to one of my friends who is also a local photographer, and she was talking about how she has been doing these “portrait parties” where you set up one WHOLE day at one location for photography. You have a bunch of little mini sessions along with a basic package for a way good deal, and she said that it really has been a blast for her. So… I have decided that I want to try it!! Woo- hoo!! :)

Here is how it works…

You get:

  • a 30 to 45 minute session
  • all images from the shoot hosted on  your own proof site
  • 10 edited images
  • all images on a medium resolution CD

It is only $40! You can book your session for engagements, family portraits, senior portaits, bridals, or if you just want to have some pictures done; anything your little heart desires :)

May 16th is the day that I have set aside ALL DAY for mini sessions. I location that I chose is called Calico Basin and it is gorgeous! Here is a few pictures that I have taken there…
