Jeffrey and Nicole DeAnne Together!!!

February 18th, 2009 @ 11:32 am by Amelia & Justin @ Amelia Lyon Photography

Ever since the crazy fires that broke out a few months ago near our home, we have been eyeing the burned areas and thought they might make for a sweet backdrop for a photo shoot. Also, my fabulous sister Nicole DeAnne has been nudging me to schedule a fun little session with her and her husband, so we thought we would put those burned areas to use before the green started to grow back.

Many of our followers may recognize Nicole DeAnne because we feature her quite frequently on the blog. She has worked with about 75% of our brides, making them look uber-fabulous with her hair and make-up magic-ness! Let me just say how fun it is to have my sweet sister (and best friend) working with me in the wedding industry. We both have such a passion for weddings and enjoy every moment of making sure that everyone of our clients look the best that they can!

We wanted this shoot with Nicole DeAnne and Jeffrey to have a high-fashion feel, so we included a wide array of colors to contrast with the black burned background. We thought it turned out great!

The first image, and it’s my favorite!!

A Secret Place of My Own.

February 17th, 2009 @ 1:15 pm by Punam Bean

On my trip to California, we walked for miles to this secluded hideaway, this magical place, where all the light seems to melt into the leaves and mud and hairs like butter on a hot biscuit.

I wanted to post some of these. This is my secret place, in the back woods of a tiny town where I hail. And this is my best friend. We are in synch. She knows what I’m thinking, her expressions are my expressions, her inhibitions are my inhibitions. I take pictures of her but it’s like we are one person, and it’s a portrait of both of us. That’s my inspiration. And this is part one.

WARNING! there is one nude image below, but I consider it pretty PG-13, but I just thought I’d give you a heads up.
