Cherry Bazaar Photography

I have studied and admired the work of Crave photography. I find her work to be stunning and am so excited to have finally saved up the money to take one of her mentoring classes this January. Apart from shooting, editing, mentoring, and designing templates for photographers, she also has amazing giveaways. I think this time she has topped, even herself with the choice of a Canon 85 mm 1.2 lens or a Nikon 85 mm 1.4 lens. Wish me the best. I hope I win!!

I have been so behind on my blog posts but I had to share some photos from a kids vintage shoot I did a while back. I loved the concept and hope to do more themed shoots in the future. If you are looking for some great places to find vintage inspired clothing for your little rockababies I have listed a few sites I found. If you are interested in doing a similar shoot with your children give me a call.

Barbara is a VIP client of mine I have photographed her several times and every time I find myself blown away by her beauty, ambition, endurance, and joy. This shoot is for her portfolio at  http://home.sfcasting.com/ . She wanted some corporate/catalog looking stuff (most of her stuff is too hot for the average job)! We only did 3 outfits and one set up (the woman loves her black, but who doesn't). Here are a few of my favorites! Are you kidding me?!!! No retouching, smoothing, blending, nada. I love her skin. She won't mind me telling  you she is 42, yeah you can pick your jaw up off the ground now. Can you say Cindy Crawford? This is my favorite style for hair, I am such a 90's girl. Her hair is just fabulous, it's like a Pantene commercial.  This is so Macy's catalog, I love how it looks as if she has a bounce in her step. For those who read my last blog about Barbara, you know she is a black belt and did competition ball room. H

I thought I would get everyone's creative juices going with some  pics I found online of the location we will be doing our Bombshell Bash at.  These are some shots taken by other photographers at the Museum.  The cool diner, love the black and white tile.  Someone is getting on that horse!! See that plane coming out the roof? So cool. I am going to have fun playing with these different colors. My favorite of all, I think, the silver aluminum and the grass. I see someone wearing my apron and tutu gardening maybe? Hope you have been inspired. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. :)

It's back!!!! This seasons event is going to be the biggest and most amazing, ever. The location, Reiff's gas station, which is a vintage museum has everything a girl could want in a backdrop from a real 50's style diner, gas station, and vintage cars. I will have accessories and some clothing options for those of you with a limited wardrobe. You will be able to see some of my available items on my facebook fanpage under vintage props , I am updating them this week. Some frequently asked questions : Do you provide clothing? Some limited pieces, obviously I cannot provide enough variety for every shape and sized girl, I will have photos up in "vintage props" album soon. Do I have to were lingerie? NO! In fact I prefer taking photos of girls in regular vintage style clothing. You are welcome to wear whatever you are most comfortable in. I am always available to help with wardrobe decisions. How early should I be there to get made over? You need to com

I have had the remarkable joy of capturing Bentley's life from the womb. He is now 6 months and couldn't be cuter. It is a challenge doing baby pictures. I always end up making some sort of fool out of myself in front of the moms. lol. I thought I would go over a few things for moms thinking of doing this type of session. Here are some pointers for making your session easy. Don't fuss over clothes, you will find the portraits you love the most are the ones that are simple and uncomplicated. Nothing is cuter than a naked baby. Schedule your session after a nap for those happy shots. A good photographer will be flexible about breaks, in fact we prefer it. We want your baby to be happy and comfortable. If you want to have those great straight into the camera shots, try to resist the temptation to call your babies name and try to try and make them laugh, unless the photographer asks you too. This will keep you from getting a bunch of photo where your baby is looking off to
