As Promised...

Here are a few more faves from Kara's session.

A Little Teaser...

I had the pleasure of photographing Kara Mercer this week. She and I had photographed Nicole Mendez the day before. But, Wednesday was her turn to be the model. It was such an amazing and fun shoot. She is such a trooper...she will try pretty much anything that comes to me. When we first started discussing the shoot, she decided to buy a vintage gown off of ebay to play in. It was so fabulouls! Here is one shot from the session. I will do a full blog post of the session as soon as I finish editing and playing.

Nicole

I want to thank Nicole for answering my model call on Tuesday. She was so sweet and fun to work with. It was a bit windy, but we had a great time. I shot with my friend Kara Mercer who is taking up photography. Here are a few of the faves:

Nicole has such a great smile!

Here are a couple of Kara in action

Nicole, it was so nice to meet you! Thanks so much! Kara, it was so fun shooting with you. Can't wait to hang out next week!

Model Needed

Hey everyone! I know this is short notice, but I need a model for tomorrow night (Tuesday). There are no requirements...you can come alone, be part of a couple, or a family. If anyone is free and is interested in having some photos taken, please contact me for details. If you would send an email to me (shan@shanrenee.com) with the title "I'll Be Your Model," that would be great! Thanks!

Brooke's Bridals

While I was waiting for my computer today, I decided to blog some images that I hadn't blogged yet. Brooke was married earlier this summer at Spirit Ranch. When she called about her bridals, we decided to do a large variety of styles with her portraits. She wanted some elegant images as well as some that were more fashion. Here are a few of the faves:

Coming Soon...

What do a horse, some sassy red shoes, and an art gallery have in common? Check back in early September to find out!

Blog Tag

Some photographer friends of mine have been blog tagging each other. I've been tagged by fellow Xtreme seminar photographer and friend Michelle White. I have to tell 8 things about myself and then tag 8 other photographers.

Here we go:

1. I am a total music freak and band geek. I was in the band from Junior High until my junior year in college. Yes, I was in the Goin' Band from Raiderland! And, I took piano lessons for 9 years.

2. I have a Biology degree! That's right...I didn't start with photography in college. And, I still love reading magazine articles and books about biology...I know even more geeky!

3. My dad's name is Ron Howard. Kind of random I know...but it has gotten quite a reaction. I have even convinced a few people that he is "the Ron Howard" (well, he is to me at least).

4. I am CRAZY about dogs. I love them. I have two of my own - Gracie and Emma. I treat them like my children.

5. The first thing I do when I get home is take off my shoes. Don't get me wrong - I LOVE shoes but only for fashion reasons. If I am home, the shoes are off!

6. I don't eat food that is on a bone. There is something about tearing the food off of a bone that totally grosses me out. Also, I don't care for seafood.

7. I dream of living in Europe. I think it would be amazing to live overseas for a time. But, in the end, I want to end up in the wonderful USA!

8. I am scared of moths. I know...they are harmless. But, the way they randomly fly at you just freaks me out.

Now here's my list of 8 photographers who I'm tagging....

Cristy Cross

Brandon & Ashleigh

This morning I photographed Brandon & Ashleigh's engagement session. They are getting married in Cancun next June. They were so fun to work with, and it was obvious how crazy they are about each other. It was a great day.
