Simply Diva ... Simply HOT!!!!

Last weekend I was able to have a super fun, super hot Simply Diva session with Crystal. All I can say is WOW!!! Her eyes are just beautiful and her hubby is a very lucky guy!!!

Remember, Simply Diva sessions are designed to show a woman's confidence and sassiness! They can be as HOT or as conservative as each client chooses. The holidays are a great time to get that special someone a timeless gift of you! Contact us for session times and availability.

Here are a few of my favorites from her session.

It's that time of year again!

The holidays are just around the corner! Valerie, KC and baby Aidan were in this past weekend and we had lots of fun shooting their holiday photos! I loved loved loved Aidan's super cute pj's with the little reindeer feet! Grandma Marty came along and we got some great shots of her and the family too!

Here are just a few of my favorites from the session!

Street Team member! - Andrew

Andrew came in the other day for his Street Team session! We were able to catch a few shots outside with his super cute dog before the sun went down. Andrew is very involved in his school JROTC program and wants to become a lawyer for the Armed Forces. He has great goals and is an all around great kid!

Andrew will be representing New Traditions as a Street Team member which means he will have the opportunity to earn great prizes and print credits for anyone he refers! Way to go Andrew!

Here are just a few of my favorites from Andrew's session!

Fall Families!

This past weekend I was able to do an awesome family session with Nathan, Kara and baby Emma. The fall colors were beautiful and Emma was soooo cute! She really wanted to eat the tutu but we had so much fun!
Here are a few of my favorites!

Is it hot in here?

My good friend Tracy got all dolled up for her birthday bash this past weekend so we decided to do a Simply Diva session in her honor! She looked beautiful as always and we had to turn the air on in the studio it was so hot!!!
Happy birthday Tracy!
Here are a few of my favorites!

Baby Adian

I was so lucky to visit a good friend of mine last week and sneek a few shots of her adorable baby boy! He was full of smiles! Even the cat joined in for a few!

Here are a few of my favorites!

My lil' muse!

So after watching about three entire DVD seminars .. I decide I need to get up and start working! The past few days watching these seminars have opened my eyes in ways that will dramatically improve the look of my photographs! This is just the creative jump start I have been waiting for!!!

Yesterday I went to one my may favorite spots, the antique mall. I found a couple of new-to-me things to use for sessions that just rock! I asked (bribed) my muse (my lovely daughter) to sit for me for a few shots. She gladly agreed as it was getting her out of cleaning her room!

About ten minutes of shooting and a while editing later .... I came up with some breathtaking shots of her! This is all done in my newest favorite program that has dramatically simplified my life! I can do so much in this one software that there is almost no need for anything else!! For that reason alone, I should go buy stock in Adobe now, but first, I will show you a few of my ALL TIME favorites!!!
Enjoy!

He was stretching and moving and fully aware of his surroundings! What a cutie pie!'
I just loved his dark hair and long fingers!
Proud parents Angie and Nathan came in with their Bears shirts ready to have some fun! We finally got baby to sleep for about five minutes before he was awake again. He didn't want to miss a thing!

Hello everyone!

Coming soon will be two new sections of New Traditions Photography!


Simply Diva is a brand of high end, classy boudoir, glam and fine art photography.
I am super excited about this new part of New Traditions! Its all about confidence and individuality! Its for women any shape, size or age! I am currently working to find an independent stylist (not in a salon, works on her own) to collaborate with for this brand. I will offer luxury sessions complete with hair makeup and a customized shoot. After the session, the final images will be highly tweaked to give you that flawless glamorous look while still looking natural. These images make great gifts and will be available as coffee table books, brag albums, large fine art prints and desk sized portraits!
Get ready to spoil yourself and that special person in your life ladies!!!

If you can recommend a stylist/makeup artist, please contact me.
