    I’ve been talking to Anthony for a few months now. He called awhile
    back and said that he and his wife would be vacationing in Arizona and
    would like to get some pictures taken of them. They had never had
    professional pictures and liked my different unique style.

    So we met up on Sunday and headed out to the local ghost town to take
    some killer shots…. they did so great and I love what we got! Way to
    go Hope and Tony… I had so much fun!! I’m looking forward to future
    sessions with you and your family!

    This was my third engagement session this week and was so much fun!
    I’ve been so excited for this session ever since my husband and I went
    out to dinner with Alison and Chad earlier this year. We went to our
    favorite Margarita place, Salty Senioritas, and met Alison and Chad for
    the first time. They are getting married at the Four Seasons Troon North on New Years Eve and it is going to be an awesome awesome party!

    These guys are so much fun and I had such a great time doing the shoot!! I can’t wait until the wedding!!!

  • I’m BACK!!! Another Killer Session!!

    Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

    I feel like i’ve been gone from shooting and the blog forever, and
    actually I have… I stopped shooting in May and didn’t start up again
    until this last week, but wow.. we are on a roll now! I’ve shot 4 sessions plus 1 wedding this last week and October doesn’t slow down! It’s been a lot of fun and i’m excited about all the other shoots I have coming up!

    On Thursday I met up with Christa and Tommy to do their engagement
    session. I’m actually shooting their wedding this coming weekend in
    Sedona and i’m so glad we got to do the session before the wedding. It
    was so great getting to know them and I think it will really help them
    on the day of the wedding.

    We had a great time and got some great pictures!! Hope you all like them!

  • Jessica and Alex – Engagement Session in Scottsdale

    Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

    First of all I have to give a big shout out and Thank You to the amazing wedding coordinator Heather Crabtree (Outstanding Occasions), for introducing me to Jessica and Alex.

    Jessica and Alex are getting married in November; they are not from
    Arizona when they came into town this last week we decided to meet each
    other and also do an engagement session. I was a little nervous because
    I haven’t talked to Jessica very much and, like I said, we had never
    met before,  so  I was thrilled that when  we met we instantly clicked.
    She told me she was a blog stalker and LOVED my pictures, so instantly
    we were friends and connected… anyone who stalks my blog and tells me
    they like my pictures is instantly a friend of mine!!

    We had a great time walking around Scottsdale taking pictures of the
    two of them. I don’t think they took one bad picture, they are total
    naturals and both completely gorgeous! Makes my job easy!!! These are
    some of my favorites of all time for engagement sessions!!!

    I’m so excited for their wedding at the Westin Kierland in November!!!

    Great job you two!!!! Hope you like them!!!

  • Create Better Images Workshop I & II

    Jennifer
    and I are thrilled with how many of you out there have expressed
    interest in our next Create Better Images Photography Workshop! As we
    have mentioned previously, we will be doing another beginner workshop
    as well as an intermediate class on Saturday, November 1st. You can
    expect the registration forms & details to be posted to our blogs
    within the week so you can reserve your spots, but here is a little
    general overview information so you can plan as needed::

    **Saturday, November 1, 2008**
    Create Better Images Workshops

    Beginner Workshop 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM
    Kim Jarman Photography Studio – Mesa, AZ
    We
    will be covering the fundamentals of photography: ISO, shutter speed
    and aperture and how they interrelate. Our goal is to get you shooting
    manually (and therefore more creatively), teaching you how to turn off
    your flash and getting images that pop and wow. To see the flyer from
    the last workshop for more details on the actual topics covered, please click here.

    $169 ($149 “early bird rate” for those who register before Oct 12th)
    Participants
    will need a camera, any lenses they have and their manual. SLR camera
    strongly recommended since we cover SLR camera functions.

    Intermediate Workshop with Live Model Shoot 2:30 PM – 7:00 PM
    Kim Jarman Photography Studio – Mesa, AZ
    This
    workshop is for those who understand the fundamentals, as it will build
    upon all of those skills. We will review them, especially in live
    practice, but not spend as much time on the basics as the beginner
    class. Most importantly, we will have 2 models (a toddler and a high
    school senior) and will divide into 2 groups for the live shoot
    portion. This workshop will be very hands-on and after the shoot, you
    will actually process your images via Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop and
    share a few of them. We will review shooting techniques, posing
    suggestions, and go very in-depth with the actual shooting process. The
    detailed flyer will be posted with the registration form within the
    week.

    $269.00 ($249 early bird rate for those who register before Oct 12th)
    Participants
    must have (or rent) a digital SLR camera for this, as well as bring any
    lenses they have. We also ask that you bring a laptop since you will be
    processing your images. If you do not have a laptop, please let us know.

    Both
    workshops are limited to 20 participants. Our goal is to make the
    workshops as interactive and friendly as possible, where attendees feel
    comfortable to ask questions and share in this small-group format.

    All
    spots are first-come, first-serve after the forms are posted, so please
    watch our blogs in the next several days for the info. If you have
    previously emailed us expressing interest, you will receive info via
    email immediately preceding the registration blog post. Thank you for
    your interest! We hope to see you in November.

    *************
    We
    are looking for a toddler model for this shoot. Toddler must be between
    ages 1-1/2 and 4 and parent will be on-hand during shoot. Parents will
    receive free images on a disc including images from Jennifer, Kim and
    each of the participants. We advise that the toddler model not be one
    of the workshop participants’ child. The reason is that the parent may
    not be able to disengage and focus as well on the shooting part if
    their child needs them.

  • Please Keep In Your Prayers

    Little Aaron Robinson – Please keep in your prayers


    Many
    of you have followed the life of Aaron Robinson through the pictures on
    my blog… this is an awesome and amazing kid and I have come to
    cherish and love him very much. I have photographed him since he was
    little and have also photographed his little brother too.

    I just
    found out the other day that Aaron is in the hospital because he has
    cancer. They just recently found out about this and are trying to run
    tests to see what type of cancer he has and what they need to do to
    treat him.

    I don’t have many details but I would really appreciate it if you would keep this little guy and his family in your prayers.
