Tommy & Katie

Now that the website is up, I can finally stop neglecting my blog!!!!!

Over the last month, I have an endless supply of appointments. It has been great! One of my appointments during this busy month was Tommy & Katie. Great couple who are expecting their first child. She was so easy going, just like him. I love easy going couples!

Here's a few from our session!

My Website is HERE!!!

FINALLY!

Yes, it's here. After many, many months of editing this, changing that, designing this and creating that......it's finished. I've spent most of the morning trying to work out any kinks it may have. I think, *crossing fingers* that they are all out by now.

So....go check it out! I hope you enjoy! It's very user friendly, and I hope you enjoy the music. My husband's song, Idol is playing in the background.

My Website.......

It's almost here! I have everything done except for one little task. It's not really a huge task, but it's a big deal for me. This will just sound so funny when I actually say it, but here goes.


My daunting task that just looms over me like an Oklahoma storm sneaking in during the month of May is......a picture of me. I need to post a self-portrait on my website in the about me section. Now, to you this may sound extremely odd since I'm a photographer, and I should have many pictures of myself. Well, I'm usually the one taking the picture.


I have the technology to take my own, but it's just so hard. I'm so picky when it comes to pictures. It takes me weeks sometimes to work on pictures for my clients. (My heaven sent customers who don't complain!) Quality takes time!!! :) I just don't ever take a picture that I am happy with.


So.......to make a long story short, my website is complete except for my self-portrait. I'll shout it to the world once that is complete. I can't wait for it to go live! I've worked for months on this project.


On another subject.....here's another one of my favorites located in my Art Boutique titled Just Around the Bend.


Enjoy!

It's a beautiful Saturday morning......

Good Morning!


It's Saturday.....my husband is away on a camping trip. No husband. No kids. I couldn't even sleep in! I woke up thinking about photography today, which is very typical for me. I just can't turn my brain off sometimes. It just gets to going..........the life of being an artist!


I worked on a few photos from an outside wedding that I shot. This was a lovely couple. He was a ham for the camera, and she was really calm and relaxed. This couple followed all standard traditions....some I had never heard of, and supplied each other with gifts that are to bring the best of luck. Now, a lot of people say that ladybugs are good luck, and this wedding was full of them. Literally. There were ladybugs everywhere. At one point, the bride had them all in her gown. Of course, we had to take a few for this odd event!


I still have quite a ways to go on this wedding, but here's just a couple of shots that I've done so far. Enjoy!

Frisco.....Here I Come!


Here is one of my favorites! In case you don't know, Lanae Photography not only does portraiture photography, but we also have an online store to purchase Fine Art. There's never any rhyme or reason to our madness. We just take a few pictures of this, a few pictures of that, and voila! we're having a blast! This one was taken in Pauls Valley, OK at the retired train downtown. It's a nice area in an older part of town surrounded by a gazebo and brick streets. I love visiting and submerging myself into those older and historic areas. I love it!
So, I hope you enjoy this picture! All of my Fine Art pics are available at Lanae Photography's Etsy Store. Go check it out! You might find a piece of artwork that you just can't live without!

What a Week!!!!

Wow!


This week has been tremendous! I have had 4 sessions, 1 wedding and experienced a history making election!!!! It really has been a great week, but it has been busy!


I'm in the midst of working on the wedding photos, but I wanted to share a few pictures from a recent session I had. It was a family session, but I just couldn't help snapping a few of this little cowboy. There wasn't a need for him to get into character or pose. Lane was great! I just followed him everywhere, and this shining personality just came out. I hope you enjoy them!


My website is actually finished, but I'm "learning" how to put the music on it!!!! Yes, I am sometimes, computer challenged!!!! I am not afraid to admit this, and I hope I can learn something new everyday!!! I'll let you know as soon as the new one goes live!


Have a great week, and don't forget this week! It is a story to be told for years!
