LETS HEAR IT FOR SKYE AND JENNIFER...DO THEY LOOK GREAT TOGETHER OR WHAT?

It was a long day of shooting and Skye and Jennifer's last night at the Resort and so we went up to their room with Tram and we did sexy bedroom shots ...boudoir.

We shot all over that resort bedroom ..we had a blast. While we were shooting Brook, Brooke and Brandon went to grab dinner for all of us and we ended up having a feast.

I made some great life long friendships in the Bahamas!!!

I will post more of the guys too...they are fabulous!!!

Kansas City Brides..do you need luxury Hair and fantastic Make-up?

RAVE~ I have to tell you about my new best friend Brook and Crystal that work at SOLE saloon and Boutique in historical downtown Liberty! They are amazing!!

I was blessed to hand pick my team for the recent Bahama's Magazine shoot (including models with magazine approval) and I totally had to have Brook...she could create every hair style imaginable to the mind and I was impressed. Thank you Brook for all your hard work (and work we did!)

I will be posting images from the shoot in 24 hrs, hope you guys enjoy them!

The first photo on the top left is Brooke (my daughter)- this is a fun romantic speciality style.

The make up on this event was done by Staci Broski, she did a good job on the make up.

Teri

Ashley and Weslely..said Holy smokes...

Teri!!Oh my gosh! I don't even know where to start..... You did such an amazing job at my wedding last Saturday I can't even believe it. Not only are you amazing to work with you take absolutely stunning photos!! You also know how to make a bride feel good! I had so many people come up to me during and after the wedding asking who you were and that they wanted you at their wedding. Thank you for making my wedding feel like even more of a fairytale than it already was!! I will be seeing you soon.Always with love,Ashley Brooke Brown

Holy Smokes- The pics so far are truly amazing!!! Wow! I am sorry for emailing you again, but all i can say is wow wow wow!! I am jumping out of my seat I am so excited. THANK YOU!!! People are going to go nuts you know! You did a more than outstanding job

Here we go Kansas City The Ines Del Mar Magazine photos just a peak and I photographed in John Travolta's condo and it was VERY cool

I Just want to say that The Old Bahama Bay is AMAZING!!! You have to go there! I did not want to leave..
I was blessed to combine 2 assignments at once this April- I was on a Wedding magazine assignment for Ines Del Mar Magazine and shooting for The Old Bahama Bay Resort...to make this a more amazing trip "get married" flew down to film me shooting!!!
That will be shown on Lifetime in the fall, on Get Married with Colin Cowe.

What was really special to me is that my daughter Brooke was picked out of a pool of models for this magazine! They did not know that she was my daughter when they picked her and she ROCKED at this. All these years I have waited to photograph her in a wedding dress ..we had so much fun! We took 4 other models that were just as beautiful..I will be posting their photos later... can you believe she is only 15? A BIG THANKS to http://www.bridalextraordinaire.com/ for providing all the dresses and accessories!!!

If you are looking for beautiful wedding dresses, why look anywhere else? I truly think they are the BEST!!!

Nite KC

Back home again! I LOVE KANSAS CITY!!!

I just got back from a road trip to OK...and it is so so so good to be home!
I planned on traveling home the other night when tornadoes were all over the place including my route home. The hubby calls and says...DON"T drive and the front desk tells me stay put ...the storms are bad , only in the Midwest right? Tornadoes in February!
Any how I really am glad to be back to KC...I don't think I will go back to OK...it is just NOT for me....
I do LOVE this town!

Information for other PHOTOGRAPHERS...

Hey Kansas City..

I just want to say to all the photographers from this city that have been calling me to ask me if they can shoot for me, work for me, pick my brain or get to know me...and just last week I had 2 photographers from this city call me to ask if they could second shoot for me and THEY HAVE THERE OWN STUDIOS-

Well today I came into the office and another photographer called wanting to talk to me so I thought..I need to blog.

To everyone interested in shooting with me I do have Shadowing program and it is FOUR thousand dollars and I currently have a shadowier. I will only take 5 shadowiers a year.

Half is due upon booking to ensure your slot.

I have 3 openings left for 2009..so if you are one of the photographers that have been calling me (u know who u are) please call Jenn to set an appointment up for me to explain the shadowing program to you.

I would encourage everyone to shoot from the heart...that is what I have always done.

Don't copy other photographers images..you should be developing your own style of shooting.

I wish everybody the very best and I totally love what I do..I live and breathe my art..I always have a camera on me and I am always thinking of images-

When I am booked solid I tend to send my Bride and grooms to the select few photographers in town that I consider my friends and I know they do a great job :)

Keep warm KC...spring is right around the corner (I have been day dreaming of the beach...)

Teri

Thank you so much Tram!

Okay everyone I have to tell you about a beautiful girl that came in to my studio on the 19th of this month (I had just gotten over the flu and had been really sick for almost a week and that whole week was spent in bed) so I was just happy to be feeling great and in walks Tram...she has long, shinny perfect black hair (I totally love long hair) and this perfect sweet smile..she loved my work and I was already thinking of shots I wanted to do of her while I was talking to her ( I tend to to do that)
Anyhow she is going to be a awesome Bride...beautiful inside and out :)
Well I opened up the mail- I am alittle behind on that :)- and she sends me a gift certificate for a COUPLES Massage!!!! Plus a sweet Thank you card...
I just want to say thank you Tram for bringing sunshine to my day! I can't wait to photograph your wedding!
