I'm a little late with this blog post- I shot my cousin Amanda's senior pictures while I was home for Christmas. It had been a whole year since I had seen her family, and I am so glad I got to spend a little time with them.

They are from beautiful Colorado- you can see the Rockies from their front porch- and so I thought it was pretty cool that they would come to flat, windy West Texas and request a photoshoot!

Amanda totally rocked it, and since she's into photography it was fun to do a Q&A with her during the session. I also shot a few new headshots for my cousin Mackenzie, who lives far, far away in LA.

I said "part one" in my title because I know I have many more to share- I really was in love with the lighting, my lenses, and my subjects! For now, my favorites:

Lens flare has to be one of my favorite things.

This image is another one of my favorite things. :)

Can't tell they're sisters, can ya? *kidding*

Despite their evident hotness in the above image, here's how I see them most of the time.

Check out all that Hollywood Glam.

One of Amanda's faves.

To me this one says, "Let me be your TV Mom". Haha- hate to typecast you Kenz- but you play it so well!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

A skin care ad waiting to happen.

Love you both!
