Britney and Whitney are the sisters of Tayley, and Aundi. I've also photographed their other sisters Holly and Ginny. Needless to say, I love photographing the Beorsma girls. They are graduating seniors of 2011 and came from Kansas for their session. We had the lovely Julia with us to style their hair and be the makeup queen as well. Here is one from their couture outfit-Betsey Johnson dresses.
Clovis NM Portrait Photographer.Shelby
/
Shelby!! Let me tell you something. You are BEAUTIFUL! Inside and out. I so enjoyed your session. Especially when a 40 yr old dude yells at you and your pretty little self. (gross, considering you are only 15) Yup, she is only 15 people. I did her sisters senior photos 2 years ago and it is great getting to shoot Shelby too. Her mom was also with us and I left their session feeling so loved and appreciated. This family is one awesome group and I've only met half of them. Thanks for your kind hearts and sweet spirits. You are all so beautiful :)
Clovis NM Portrait Photographer. Baby Jack
/We have all been waiting patiently for baby Jack to arrive. His mom, Logan a past bride, called MONTHS in advance to schedule his newborn session. She is a planner. I like that. Alot. I photographed Jeff and Logan's wedding two years ago and I told them how I love being apart of peoples lives as a photographer, because you get to see them live life. Now after two years of marriage, they have a baby. These are sweet, precious moments I am SO happy my camera was able to collect for them. Baby Jack was just a sweetheart and I LOVED holding him. He made me realize my baby (2 yrs old) is not really a baby anymore. When I came home after their session and looked at Benson, I was kind of taken back at how BIG he is, but he will always be MY baby :)
Oh, funny story too. You know you are a real awesome mom when you catch your babies poop as he is hanging in a knitted basket. Yup, thats what Logan did. And Jeff was a little grossed out. And I was laughing :)
And, Logan and Jeff made me feel so welcomed and loved when I came into their house to find lots and lots of wedding photos I did for them. I never get to see the photographs displayed in my clients homes and that was very special to me. Thanks for a very lovely evening Scarbrough family.
