Fauxto Booth from the Portrait Party

Do you remember Chelsea's Portrait Party from a couple weeks ago? Right before everyone jumped into the pool Chelsea and her friends took turns posing in the Brown Eyed Photography Fauxto booth. Here are some favorites:








Thank you again everyone for coming out for the Portrait Party. Hope you're enjoying your last couple days of summer vacation!

Enter... Senior Sarah

Joe invited Sarah to come and have her senior pictures done while he was having his done. Turned out Sarah is dating Jonah, Lisette's son. It's a small world, and all that. Sarah is adorable and was up for anything I suggested. She is actually an aspiring photographer an had done her research about what type of portraits she wanted. When I asked if she had any other ideas that we hadn't tried she said we covered them all. Loved being on the same page as her.







Thanks so much Sarah, for putting up with Joe;) and posing like a pro.

Group shoot morphs into...

a Portrait Party!
What's that, you say?
Well, it started with a conversation with my sister-in-law-class-of-2010. While up in Vermont (where said sil lives) during our recent trip I suggested she get a group together for a fun group shoot.
She thought it was a great idea.
Then I said- tell them to bring their bathing suits and we can have a fire, cook s'mores- all that.
Oh! And a "Fauxto Booth"... but more on that in a future blog post.
Thus the morphing into a portrait party.
Three girls arrived on time early so we started with some fun girl-only shots.



And the whole crowd...



One of the girls wanted to hold a flower. We did several fun shots with flowers and I think this might be my favorite...



Thank you,Chelsea, Kyrstyn, Debbie, Alana, Katie, Nick, and Chris! I loved loved getting to know you all and can't wait to see you next time we're up doing senior pictures (September 19th and 20th is the next scheduled weekend, if you're asking).

If anyone else is interested in finding out more about how they can host their own Photo Party, contact me. It's not only fun for seniors... for instance - as pre-bachelorette party when everyone is dolled up and ready to go. Awesome Brown Eyed Photography gifts for you and your party friends included!

J-Man at the bay in St. Albans, Vermont

Joe met with me super duper early and even brought his friend Sarah (some of her pictures are already up on facebook) to take advantage of group shoot rates. Joey thought it would be nice to go to the bay... and he was right! There was a great stone building, lots of open green space, and of course water.







Thanks so much Joe! I had fun hanging out with you and can't wait to hear what you think of the pictures!

Seniors in cow country

Back from a brief visit to northern Vermont where I met up with several fun seniors for some senior sessions and a group shoot! More to come...

Emma in farm country

Emma was in town for her dad's wedding and wanted me to do her senior pictures. I was thrilled to meet Emma and even more pleased to discover how delightful she is.



Emma was fun to hang out with for a couple hours and up for any suggestions... she even came up with some fun ideas of her own.







Emma, good luck in Texas next year... and beyond!

Wind, sun... and cold

Danielle was open to having an indoor or outdoor shoot. I tend to prefer outdoors- the lighting rocks and the background tends to be pleasing... but also cold and windy. I guess that is to be expected in Vermont at the end of December. Amazingly there was no snow!


We managed to spend a few minutes outside before retreating to Danielle's very cool purple bedroom.



Thank you Danielle for such a fun photo shoot. It was super fun to try out different backgrounds around your yard and I loved the purple walls.

Last minute senior

This beautiful senior never seemed to have time in her super busy schedule to squeeze in getting her senior photos done. Thankfully she is on the year book comittee. The pictures are due today and I was able to email her 3 options last night. The rest of the images will be in the mail tomorrow.

Karly lives in the perfect place for outdoor portraits. It was very cold but Karly braved the low temps by going bare foot. Actually, for this picture I was in sock feet too. Brr!

Karly really really wanted to have some pictures with snow. Most mornings we woke up to some snow but it burned off by 10am. I considered going and pounding on her door around 7am the morning after this shoot so that we could get some snow shots... but I assumed Karly didn't want snow pictures that bad!

Thanks Karly for going along with some of my crazy ideas. The pictures turned out great and I can't wait for you to see them! They'll be in the mail tomorrow. Enjoy!
