Declaration of Grace

The day is finally here to explain the details about Declaration of Grace.
Declaration of Grace is not your typical photo shoot, it is a journey to rediscovering your true beauty.
Every woman deserves a beautiful portrait of themselves and enjoy the process to get that perfect portrait. We all have flaws and imperfections but we need to embrace them, because they are what makes us unique. Your true beauty and grace comes from within. When you rediscover how beautiful you are, that beauty comes shining through.
There is a consultation prior to this session as with all of our sessions, but this consult is very special ~ it is the beginning of your journey to rediscovering your grace, beauty and what you love most about yourself. We get to know you during the consultation so that we are able to put you at ease in front of the camera. We also supply you with some homework that helps you to overcome insecurities, embrace your beauty and become closer to those you love.
We have also partnered with Kelly McCampbell from Renew You Now. She will be doing all of the pampering for our special ladies that partake on this journey.
We have three different sessions available, they all include a hairstyling and makeup and prints.
The Saving Grace package is $250, and includes hair styling, make up, 3-8x10s, 6-5x7s, 16-wallets and you can add a friend or loved one for $50.

Derricca and Laticia

What a fun day we had with these two beauties! I was glad that they brought their other two sisters and their mom along. They had Michael and I cracking up the biggest part of the session.

Michael and I shot these girls in a combined Senior Session- something that we are calling a Paparazzi Session (details will be out later). We shot upstairs at the studio and various alleyways around the big town of McLoud.

Thank you ladies for making us enjoy our jobs even more! We wish you both tons of luck on your en devours!

Selisa's Senior Shoot

I had an amazing day with this young lady. We started out shooting at the studio then headed out to the farm to shoot by the barn and the pond. The weather was wonderfully cooperative on that day as well! We do have those kinds of days once in a while.

Miss Selisa I wish you loads of luck in your future. Thank you for spending the day with me.

Makeup review for the ladies!

I recently found some new make up that I have fallen in love with, both as a consumer and as a photographer. L'OREAL has a new foundation called Magic Smooth Souffle, when used with the primer, Magic Perfecting Base, it works just like magic! Blends seamlessly (when using the right color for your skin tone), blurs pores and smoothes fine lines! You heard me right! Pics are a dream to edit when clients wear this stuff. I feel like I have perfect skin when I wear it. Hope that this little review comes in handy next time you are in the makeup isle!
