I’ve been quiet on here for a bit, but it’s because I’ve been hiding out at my computer, getting ready for The Velvet Trunk’s Spring 2012 Photoshop Pro Workshop!!
I’m so excited about these especially because this is a long time in coming!
PLUS…..
For the first time, our workshops will include Online Video Tutorials so you can review the workshop material whenever it’s convenient for you! =)
If you don’t see the workshops in your area, and want them to come to your city, please let me know! Already trying to decide where I should launch them next!
Hope to see you soon! =D
Meet Angela. Sweet as she can be, and such a talented performer and singer! Plus, this gal is probably the most laid back client I’ve ever had. We must have rescheduled our shoot four times because of the weather (rain rain PLEASE go away) and somehow we kept picking the one day it would rain. Got to love it. But she rolled with it, and we flew by the seat of our pants and thanks to her and Amy’s (our makeup artist) flexibility, we made it and had a blast!
Here are her headshots! =)
My dear friend Amy did Angela’s makeup for the shoot and knocked it out of the park, if I do say so myself.
After Amy and I hugged Angela goodbye in the very parking lot of a certain store I might have (*cough*) accidentally broken into a while back, I grabbed some quick shots of her for fun. Here’s one of my favorites.
P.S. Today is Amy’s Birthday!! Happy Birthday, bud! Love you dearly! You are an inspiration to everyone who knows you and a blessing to anyone who crosses your path. You’re a fantastic Mom, friend, wife, etc. Just an all around amazing woman of God! So thankful for your friendship!!! =)
Meet Jason Crabb and his adorable family, shot for LifeWay’s June 2012 Issue of Parent Life Magazine. You may recognize Jason as the former lead vocalist of The Crabb Family. He is now an author, producer, and a solo artist (though the family is getting ready to release their new album “Together Again”), and as has performed everywhere from Carnegie Hall to Billy Graham’s farewell crusade in New York City. Such a humble guy and was so much fun to shoot-had me in stitches!
This shoot was really special to me as it was my last shoot as an actual Tennessee resident, just days before we packed up the Uhaul and I headed to Texas. So I must admit I was fighting tears, but they were thankful ones. I have truly been blessed with the best clients a girl could ask for and I’m SO looking forward to coming back for many more shoots!
Special thanks goes to Jason’s extended family for allowing us to use your beautiful home to shoot in-you could not have been more gracious hosts! And special thanks to Aly with Wild Cotton Photography (an AMAZINGLY talented photographer!!) for all your help on this shoot. The “come and hang out with me” on this shoot turned into you holding lights above your head and lugging equipment around. You are such a dear friend and such a trooper. Love you dearly!

Here’s a quick sneak peek of shoot I recently did with Isabella, Declan, and their lovely Mom and Dad. More to come soon! =)
This is not Photoshop, people. His eyes really are an ice blue. Mom and Dad are going to have to beat the girls off one day!
