Her kids are grown and out of the house! Some are even grandmas! They finally have some well deserved time for themselves and they are beautiful! I love taking these beauty shots, because bringing out the beauty of women of all ages make my job worth wild! Hope you enjoy these as much as I do!!

Every woman is beautiful!!

So I just recently watched a 3 day photography seminar and was SO inspired!! It helped my realize why it was that I love doing wedding and senior photography! I had never really knew for sure why it was that I enjoyed those two genres so much but after watching the seminar on Beauty/ Glamour photography it hit me!!! I LOVE Making woman feel good about themselves!!
When I do a photoshoot the first thing I do if go threw all the pics and pick out my favorites, the ones that I think they look the most beautiful in. I edited them as soon as possible because I CANT WAIT for them to see the beauty that I see when Im shooting them!! I dont care who you are EVERY one likes a good picture of themself, especially women!! It is the most uplifting thing to see a beautiful picture of yourself!! My favorite part is seeing their reaction when they see the pictures!!
Now that I have seen this seminar I just want to photograph every women I know!! I want them to feel beautiful on the inside and out, because I truly believe that every woman is beautiful in her own way! I took some pictures of my sister in laws and I was through the roof with excitement!! I really felt like this is what I want to be doing!! Now that I have discovered this I cant wait for my wedding and senior shoots! We are going to have so much fun!!! Here are a few of the shots of my sister in laws!! Hope you enjoy them!!

Be Free! Friend Photoshoot!!

Hey Seniors and soon to be Seniors! How would you like to get your closes friends together and have a photoshoot to remember your times together before High School is over? My vision for this project is to spend the first half hour capturing you and your friends doing what you love to do most together, whether its shopping, hiking, baking cupcakes, watching movies or just hanging out reading magazines and eating ice cream :) I will turn your favorite time together into a fun, creative photoshoot!! The next half hour will just be some fun relaxed protraits of all of you! These will me memories that you can cherish for a lifetime and show your kids and grandkids some day ;)
       The best part of all is that 25% of the the profits will go to a local ministry here in Sioux Falls called Be Free Ministries! Its a home that takes in woman who have been thru sex trafficking or other abuse and gets them back on their feet and out of harms way! They are fairly new (beenopen about a year), but by you just having fun, hanging with your friends and making memories you can help local women to BE FREE!!!
If you are at all interested I would love to hear from you and begin brainstorming ideas for your photoshoot!! You can email me at ciji18@hotmail.com or send me a message on my facebook page :) This will go thru May of this year!!
