A Prom Story : Sierra Vista Teen Photographer

On Saturday I was invited to my friend Rebekah’s home to capture the fun at her house as Shannon was getting ready for Prom.  I love it when “my Bride’s” become friends.  Since I don’t have daughters to share events like this with I was thrilled with the opportunity.  Shannon was a little excited, she had this banner hanging in her room.

Her nephew was more interested in the cat than hair and makeup:)

There were at least 15 other couples and their parents at the house taking pictures.  Charles, Shannon and I snuck away from the excitement for a few minutes to make some formal shots.  Here are a few of my favs

Seriously, they were having fun during the formals, I told them not to think about the camera or smile for some shots.  A little Photoshop fun, LOVE the “timeless feel” in the first one!

My Dear Maria, I saw Rebeka the other night and with tears she told me about the wonderful evening when you were there to take photos of her new daughter. They are beautiful. There are artist that know the details of their art and there are artist that emote the emotion they feel in the moment. You are one of those artist that feels, lives and captures all those emotions…..we are sooo lucky to have you in Sierra Vista…..and I do believe you will be busy with a few of us brides….We love you Maria, thank you so much for your talent and being in our lives…..Shawn

    I like to call things in my life that happen unexpectedly and turn into something wonderful “happy accidents”. I’ve had many happy accidents, meeting my husband, forgetting an ingredient in a recipe and discovering it tasted better without the ingredient, etc... Photography was another “happy accident". A friend needed someone to help shoot auto races, my husband volunteered me and bought me my first Digital SLR camera. Five years have passed since those first nights standing on a wall and trying my best to capture cars traveling 120 mph heading directly at me. It didn’t take me long before I wanted to learn how to operate the camera without guidance. My journey began and still continues. read more
