Ariel's A Senior!

So, Ariel is pretty much super cute and a natural in front of the camera! We had to fight the sun because we thought we were going to get some clouds to diffuse for us the day we shot, but the clouds stood us up! I think we got some really great shots, though. Here are some of my favorites! (Click to make the larger. =] )

Stephanie and I conquered the wind and a train!

Stephanie came up to Pittsburg today to take her senior pictures. She was super fun and adorable and a wonderful sport. She was so awesome and patient. The wind wanted to make some problems for us, but we came out of the day with some awesome pictures. Not to mention we got trapped between some train tracks and a field that lead to no where and had to go under the train to get back to my car! BUT, it was worth it because we got some awesome shots with the train in the background!

Here are some of my favorites from the session! Click on the picture to make it bigger.

p.s. I will put up more from Stephanie's session when she's received her proof book. =)

Testimonials

"Weeeeeell, I love Neely. She's awesome at what she does. Everything! She took my senior picutres, we did a bridal session, and now she's topped herself with mine and my Brian's engagement pictures. I love them with all of my heart. They were so much fun to take, and were just go with the flow-y & they all turned out to be very much what I had in mind. Neely and I are kindred spirits so. . . she's kind of a big deal guys. Oh, and she's really easy to work with on ordering and delivering your pictures and proofs and whatever else. She's great!"

"Neely took my senior pictures, and to say the least, it was a lot of fun. She's really fun and doesn't make things awkward like some photographers can. On top of her being so cool, she takes great photos. :)"
-- Garrett; 2010 Senior; Senior Portraits

"We had Neely take our outdoor engagement photos and she was great! Fun to work with and had some great ideas we had not even thought of! She made it a fun and relaxing experience!"
 -- Carrena; Engagement Portraits

"My photo shoot with Neely was a one of a kind experience. Not knowing what really to expect, she made me feel comfortable as opposed to being nervous. She explained to me, to be myself, act natural, as pictures are all about me. She asked me of my ideas, thoughts, and what I wanted. She took all the time needed to take all the pictures I wanted. After the photoshoot, Neely explained to me that she would put a few pictures of the shoot, for me to see what they would look like. After seeing them, I couldn't have been any more happier at the way they turned out. They were natural, and didn't look like they were posed. I really enjoyed the photo shoot with Neely, she made a great experience out of it."

"The session was great. Beautiful day and perfect weather made for perfect pictures! I was very impressed with my pictures when they came back to me. Family and friends LOVE them. They were a huge hit!!! She did a amazing job and was very creative to make my pictures VERY unique. I'm so happy I used her for my senior pictures. We had so much fun and that made the session super laid back and the pictures look very natural. Neely is now my main photographer from here on out! Neely's Photography makes me look good!!!!"

"I had so much fun when Neely did my senior pictures. It was a miserably cold day, but she made me feel comfortable and she had some good ideas that turned out really well. I was completely satisfied with my session and I plan to use her again in the future! I recommend Neely to everyone."

The Lou

We went to St. Louis to watch the high school my husband teaches at AND the high school he graduated from BOTH compete in the football state competition. BOTH teams won!! So exciting. While we were there we went to see The Arch and also went to a FREE art museum, which did no disappoint. So fun! :)

So, I'm just letting everyone know I'm not dead. :) Here's some pictures of the arch!
