Sydney pageant pics

Syda all "dolled" up for her portfolio pics. She had no makeup on at all for her the pictures. I did add digital eyelashes and a light eyeshadow for her printed photogenic image. I did nothing to her lips except enhance the natural shine -- can you believe that is her natural lip color?!?! Wish mine were that pink!

Before digital makeup was applied....
with eyelashes and light eyeshadow added....and in another topper (natural)....

Pageant Portfolio Shoot...

A few from today's pageant portfolio session...

Oh a new logo for the new year!

The new year has brought many changes to NKP - so I felt the need for an updated logo as well. I loved my little kite logo. However, it was just so hard to see on my new site. Along with the new logo...I now have new business cards, he he. I can already tell how much fun 2008 is going to be!

Also, a quick THANK YOU to all who have taken advantage of my portfolio building sessions. I've had so much fun and my website ROCKS because of you!

My new logo/biz card.... (little miss J sporting an outfit that I couldn't resist)

Two little cuties...

Today I met with some of the CUTEST sisters ever! Their mom owns a local children's boutique...and they showed up with the best outfits I think I've ever seen. It was very overcast so we met at 12pm.

I just adore shooting at the railroad tracks and the urban feel of the other two locations. Miss J is 5yo and has the most amazing red hair and an equally amazing personality. She was a little natural in front of the camera. Her little sister was just a bubbly little thing -- which mom said was unusual for her when cameras are involved, ha ha.

Her are a lot of previews from our time together. I have so many favorites already...and I haven't even finished going through them. C, I hope you love them as much as I do!!

Presidential Debates Today....

They are having the presidential debates today in Myrtle beach...and THIS is what I see when I step out my door, lol. How cool is that?! Can't say that I'm voting for Ron Paul....but pretty dern cool nonetheless! Added a shot at a 100% crop to show that there is actually someone looking down on us, HA HA HA! Pardon the snap shots...we had just gotten home and my son was screaming MOM, MOM you have to see this - bring your camera!Click to see it bigger....he looks like Ziggy in there, lol.Can you say LOW? This shows just how close they were to the top of the pines!

Oh to be 18 again!

This afternoon I met with Miss L. It was nice and overcast so we decided to meet at 1pm. Welllll, as I got in the car to drive to meet them...the sun pops out. So much for the nice overcast day, lol. We wanted to shoot at the rail road tracks...but had to move to a different location with shade. We used two of my new favorite locations! L is SUCH a beautiful young lady - and these images prove it!! I have posted an overload of previews...I just can't decide which ones I love most, he he.

Thank you L for taking advantage of my PB special! Hope you love them as much as I do~

TTD trial run...what fun!

This afternoon I did a trash the dress trial run. A $20 wedding dress was purchased from eBay...and one of my best friends got trashed, ha ha ha. We had a tough time since the only time she could meet with me was pretty much high noon. Needless to say, the sun was NOT our friend. We did our best to find shade and ended up in a hotel parking garage and their kiddie pool. Poor thing, even though it was in the mid 70's today....the pool was FREEEEEZING!

We will be doing another run at a later date when we can meet at a better time.
Until then, here are a few previews from today....
