L.O.V.E.D. her!!! She never lost her spunk after 3 hours of all of us photographing her ~ and I was last!! What a trooper!



Thank you so much for stopping by my little place on the web! This is where I will post sneak peeks of new sessions, new product offerings and promotions, and share a little bit about my world.
I am a natural light, on-location custom portrait photographer {ok, that's a mouthful}. It fills me up so much {you know, that natural giddy high} to witness the connection between families or to glimpse through a child's eyes into their heart. Children are just so pure. I must confess.....I am SO BLESSED to be able to do what I love while still being at home with my family. Thank you to my very supportive husband {seriously, you have no idea how much he does}!
All detailed information is provided on my website {link is above}. You can also subscribe to this blog by scrolling down to the bottom {where you can sign-up and not miss any promotions}. Leave me a comment or two below a post ~ they make me smile {really big}!

March 9, 2010 - 9:18 am - what a talent you have. you bring out the unseen, you bring out the best! love u.
If I told you her age, you wouldn’t believe me.
If I told you I had to do barely any retouching, you’d envy her.
So I will.not.tell.you. {wink}
These are my version of head shots for business & social media.



March 8, 2010 - 12:42 pm - really, really beautiful images! she's stunning and you captured her perfectly. great work!
She was sweet and simply unique! I loved her whole look that day.
And I must gush: I am in LOVE-LOVE-LOVE with my new lens! The clarity blows me away!


What a sweet character this little guy was! He will be a smooth talker one day between his good looks and witty personality!



March 3, 2010 - 9:15 am - I LOVE the bottom right picture. His eye contact is amazing!
Seriously cute siblings!
…and typical birth order characteristics: he’s quiet & responsible and she is just plain sassy & adorable!




March 1, 2010 - 11:29 pm - oh my gosh...they are adorable. Great shots Misty!
I am in LOVE with...REDHEADS!
I’ve decided I want one. all. to. myself. I don’t think my hubby will let me have one though…sigh.




March 2, 2010 - 3:46 pm - These are so adorable!
I cannot believe I’m home. When you go away to a photography workshop like this, you must jump in and immerse yourself. That I did! So much so that I still don’t quite feel home. My mind is swimming with all the golden nuggets of information I took in. I am so blessed to have been able to go!
Now, I have to process all the many images I took {a gigantic amount}, and I will be sharing these over the next few weeks {that’s how many images I shot}! Oh my.
She reminds me of a young Eva Mendes!



February 28, 2010 - 3:14 pm - Misty, these are gorgeous!!!! Can't wait to see more!
February 25, 2010 - 10:27 pm - Love these images. Hope you had fun. Maybe we can do a workshop together someday. miss you
February 25, 2010 - 10:25 am - you shared your excitement but now i'm able to see the photos you took. A beautiful photo. and may i take this moment to say "i'm going to miss you so much just being 5-minutes away".
February 25, 2010 - 8:00 am - She looks like Lela Nix too, Beautiful! Glad you had fun!
I will be gone for 5 days to an amazing photography workshop in Mesa this Thursday through Monday! I signed up for this last year and cannot believe it’s time to pack! Don’t you dread packing {and unpacking}?!!
All calls & emails will be returned on Tuesday the 23rd {unless I have some down time at the hotel}. Thanks!
This image cracks me up ~ it was her “scared” face! Gotta make you smile!

February 22, 2010 - 9:57 am - don't you just love her! I do.
I am pursuing certification in photographing children with special needs through SKPA. I was blessed to already have a session last year where I got to spend time with a child like this. I cannot tell you the joy I felt with the little time I spent with him…he was so precious!
In the class I took this week I was shocked to find out that some of these families have been turned away from traditional studios. They even cited “per insurance” reasons. All I know is they missed out on by turning away these families.
I am looking for 3 different kids to photograph as part of my certification. This includes any special needs from Autism to Down’s to blindness. It will include a free mini-session with the child and an 8×10 gift print. If you know of anyone that may be interested, please have them email me at misty@mistyphoto.com.
I have to add that I had to take a written test this week. OMGosh ~ I had not taken a test in over 15 or so odd years! I felt like they were all trick questions!! Glad that is over, and now onto the best part of the test!
Here’s the sweetie who inspired me:

February 17, 2010 - 11:56 am - I think that is amazing what you are doing! You have such a big heart!
February 12, 2010 - 7:52 am - I am very proud of your heart and sensitivity. You make Jesus smile.
This is the last from my orthodontist’s session. These sisters were such a blast…so natural in front of my lens. Complete unadulterated laughter!


February 17, 2010 - 11:54 am - They are so beautiful! The way you captured them is perfect!
Butter. Definition: a substance of similar consistency.
That’s what first came to mind when I started editing her images. Her cheeks reminded me of butter…smooth and consistent. This gal has been blessed with perfect skin. So, so pretty {and I’m completely envious}!


Okay…look at the first image…who do you think of?
This girly reminds me so much of Beyonce’s sister…super gorgeous!
And tomorrow I will share her sister with you!
