50th Wedding Anniversary!

Last month I shot a beautiful party for a local couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Due to some privacy concerns I won't reveal their name or show pictures of people, but I did want to share some of the decorations of the day...

It took place at the lovely Green Tree, and the staff their was pleasant to work with and very organized.








I hope to make it to my 50th Anniversary! Only....35 more years to go! Quite a feat!

Right now it is HOT in the desert! Some of you are hoping for cooler weather... but I can't do anything about that. What I can offer is some COOL pricing options for photos that will save you some serious money!
Shoot me an email and let me know you are interested!

My beautiful friend!

She and I met first in a business manner... she hired me to photograph her baby girl. Then we got to talking and found that we had things in common, and like most of my clients, she became a good friend and we meet up when we can to chat and vent and all that fun stuff.

So she let me take her picture ( very reluctantly, lol) and I think she looks great :)




And NOOOOOO... I am not posting the ones that made me crack up laughing because that would be sooooo unprofessional. But trust me - she had fun!

Today's post is another headshot... and this time it isn't for a bank (although I have been missing those guys over there...)

Nope, those folks over at the district office needed to add a formal portrait to the nice display that they have in the front office, so of course they call me!

It was my pleasure... and I think he had some fun with it too.




Thanks for having me out there again!

A few more days left to vote! If you haven't already voted for your favorite photo, do it now! http://nancarrowphotography.blogspot.com/2010/08/its-voting-time.html

Today's post is a little cutie that I have been photographing since she was like 4 months old... I really get to watch her grow! And thankfully she is comfortable with me to the point where her mom is ready to tear her own hair out and I can get this little one to do what I want!
How do I do it? They dont have to call me Mommy, plain and simple!

She's a crazy little kid, but OH SO GORGEOUS!







I could photograph ones like this alllll day long!

The contest is really heating up! When I checked it last, the lead baby had almost 100 votes!

Today's post features the work of a local make-up artist. Her name is Antonette and she did some make-up work for my daughter and her best friend. Then I took some pictures and the girls had a great time posing and showing off...








Here is some of the make-up up close...





Antonette, the make-up artist, has this to say...

"My name is Antonette Young. I am 26 years old and live here in Victorville. I attended Marinello School of Beauty and became a certified professional make-up artist. Makeup has always been a passion of mine, so I made it into a career. To make someone look and feel beautiful is so wonderful to me. I love what I do and I do it very well."

Yes, Antonette, you did a fabulous job. The girls felt and looked beautiful!

Antonette also does airbrushing, and has reasonable rates. So if you need makeup for a wedding, quincenera, boudoir, or even a glam girls night out, she is the one to contact. If you would like to know more about Antonette's services, please send an email to kimberly77@gmail.com and I will be glad to send her info to you!

We are currently looking for 3 senior class of 2011 girls to do some shots with us... Free make up, and digital files at a reduced rate.

Its voting time!

Thanks to the families who participated and good luck to you all!
