Galbreth Baby Girl

I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful 3 week new little girl today. She fought us in the beginning but finally drifted off peacefully to sleep. She was such a trooper as she napped we put her in many different positions, on various props, and more. I'm positive it wasn't her most rest filled nap but we captured how lovely she truly is.

I'm still new at photographing babies under 3 months old but each time I work with them I get better and better. A big thank you to the Galbreth parents for allowing me a chance to become more practiced with their precious little girl.

Enjoy a few of my favorites from her session today below, see all images here: http://www.facebook.com/SilentRanksPhotos#!/media/set/?set=a.398293250231230.89603.210209139039643&type=1&notif_t=photo_album_comment

Miss C. Frick High School Session

Miss C. is truly a photogenic young lady. Her photos turned out beautifully and what a great backdrop using Maramec Springs State Park! I truly enjoyed working with her although I'm sure she'll mostly remember me saying, "Okay, move those bangs." from our session than anything else. :)

Miss B. Frick Maternity Session

I had a wonderful time spending the evening with Miss B. capturing her last few weeks of her first pregnancy. Maternity is truly one of my favorite sessions to do. There is just something special capturing the mother's love and devotion before the child is even born...truly priceless!

Battle Bare Photos

It was a huge blast working with Kanet from LoneStar Photography and all of the male and females who came out to participate. The creative energy truly flowed while we did this shoot not just from us behind the lenses but also from each and every one of YOU!

I don't know about Kanet but I will definitely be doing another one of these session in the fall, so if you missed this one (or just want to come model again) you all will be welcome!

Until then enjoy a few photos below and view the rest on Kanet and I's FB pages or at my website. :)

Gentry Session

I had an absolute blast shooting this beautiful little girl! At six years old she is truly a natural at modeling. She absolutely rocked this session with little prompting/posing from me.

Her mom did a great job putting together this fantastic outfit. She did her hair and make-up as well...she truly made sure no small touch to finish the look was left out. I loved it!

I hope to work with this family again it was a true joy! See a photo below from today's session, for more visit our website: www.jlmsilentranksphotography.com

Battling Bare Shoot

This Sunday (8/5/12) I and a fellow photographer Kanet (LoneStar Photography) will be doing a shoot where we have volunteers come out and model for the awareness of PTSD. Battling BARE was begun by other military spouses who saw a need to let others in their position know they are not alone. Many suffer from PTSD both from war and other traumatic instances and it is a true illness that one cannot simply wish away. PTSD effects both the individual suffering and those who surround that individual.

This is a FREE shoot all to bring awareness to PTSD. Models will be able to submit their photos to Battling BARE, Inc. for them to use on their page.

Shay Session

Had so much fun working with two adorable kiddos! Mom came prepared with really cute ideas that I had never shot before too!! I really love collaborating with my clients to bring out the best possible photos in each session.

I have to say my top favorite photo from the session tonight came from Moms idea of putting on makeup in the mirror since her little girl loves pretending! :)
