Simply {Senior} 2010

I got to take my good friend's baby brother's Senior pictures they other day. Like many 18 year old boys he was THRILLED(seeping with sarcasm) to spend his Saturday afternoon taking pictures. But he was awesome. He listened to all my direction. When I said jump...he smiled and said "how high"?

This dude makes my want to wrap him and bubble wrap and follow him around with a portable full length cushion, but he handles that bike really well. He knows what he's doing. His sister was totally unphased by the request to jump off a semi bed truck multiple times.

I asked them to meet me at an old, abandon shopping plaza. This place carries so much memories for almost anyone living in Niles. There is about 10 years difference between him and I but it's funny on how we have almost the same memories of this place.

Then we headed on down to the riverpark to grab a few more traditional ones for mama.

Great session Brad! Good Luck in the years to come!!!

To be pregnant is to be vitally alive,throughly a woman and undoubtedly inhabited.

-Anne Buchanan & Debra Klingsporn

A baby is something you carry inside you for nine months, in your arms for three years and in your heart til the day you die.

Whether your pregnancy was meticulously planned, medically coaxed or happened by surprise, one thing is for certain your life will never be the same.

The lil black book = the perfect gift!

There is a long silent pause. You stare at him with anticipation of a response..a smile?..a look?...SOMETHING!! He opens the book and at first glance when his eyes bulge out and a huge ear to ear grin appears you know you hit the jackpot...you hit the ball out of the park...how will you ever be able to top this one? He is holding his own little black book with classy, seductive pictures of the love of his life. He probably thought you would never do this, but you did. And guaranteed the new found confidence that is shining through in those photos stays with you and he can DEFINITELY notice.

Boudoir is no longer a taboo word. Boudoir pictures are making a come back. Woman are tired of looking at magazines and always longing to feel sexy like that. Now we are making that happen, we are bringing the dream alive. Boudoir photos are meant to be taken to generally be given as a gift to your significant other but what you may not realize the gift that you are giving yourself. See yourself grow more confident, liberated, and sexy with each photo. And you just gave yourself the best gift you could of possibly given to yourself and you had it in you all along.

I am strongly considering doing a Boudoir Hotel Marathon in November. There will be 6 spots available. Each session will include:

* One hour of shoot time

* As many outfits as you can squeeze into that hour.

* An online password protected gallery to proof your photos.

* a 4x4 leather bound album with 10 pages (20 images total)

* A disc of 15 edited images

* an experience you will never forget.

* Only $150.00. First 3 people who book will receive 25.00 off

Please contact me at simplygorgeousphotography@gmail.com if you have any questions or to book an appointment.

Give him the gift this Christmas that he will NEVER forget!

Cutest Little Babyface!

I may be getting a little too excited over this but that's ok...this is my first "feature" on another blog and I am going to let every member of my family know...as well as all of you.This is my littlest one Ava Marley Mae. Right now she is getting the most out of my camera time because basically she is the only one who doesn't say "MOM, I don't want to" or "Please not right now, no pictures". But soon, soon she will utter those same words.
