Megan's Bridal Portraits

2009-09-16T17:10:00.002-05:00

What a fun bridal shoot!

Megan wanted pictures in her wedding dress around her family's land, so we braved the heat and trekked through sunflower fields, jumped on top of hay bales, and had a grand ol' time!

Pictures!

Megan, you ROCKED it girl!!

:-)

McMurry University VisionQuest

2009-09-16T14:24:00.002-05:00

At the start of another school year...one big question always surfaces...

How should McMurry University welcome incoming freshmen?

By giving them team building tasks and throwing shaving cream and chocolate syrup on them!!

This year's VisionQuest was a blast!

First, the heat wasn't enough to keep spirits down at the ropes course at Camp Butman

Students learned to trust their fellow team members while overcoming a different challenge at each station.

Bring on the pics!

Next comes the crazy, messy fun of the Slime Olympics!

I believe the name speaks for itself...

:-)

Zach Harmon Sneak Peek

2009-06-08T02:41:00.003-05:00

You know it was a good shoot when I'm up at 3am editing like a mad woman literally hours after the shoot wraps.

I couldn't help it! The call of the sneak peek on this one was just too much for me to deny.

Zach Harmon is an incredibly talented local country/rock musician who needed some cover art for his upcoming first album.

Here's the first rough edit:

There are many, many more shots where this one came from!

Keep an eye out for the final picks!

Girl with Guitar

2009-06-05T09:10:00.002-05:00

What started out as a simple lighting test for an upcoming shoot turned into some REALLY cool images!

Thanks to my ever-ready model, Tara, my guitar, and my parents' backyard, awesomeness ensued.

Feast your eyes!!!!

Awww! The mosquitoes were definitely out and biting. Thanks for being a trooper Tara!!

Something miraculous occured during this test shoot.

I, Tiffany Turk,

SHOT IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT!

Jennifer's Family

2009-05-19T17:34:00.002-05:00

Jennifer has had one idea for family portraits since forever...bluebonnets!

So this year, everything fell into place!

Thanks to my brother-in-law, we found the perfect place to take pictures of Andie and little Emma in bluebonnets.

The light was perfect, the weather beautiful, the flowers gorgeous, when all of a sudden, we realized bluebonnets aren't made up of just pretty blue petals.

They have stickers.

Lots and lots of stickers!!!

From my experience of being a little girl once, nothing strikes fear in the heart of a child quite like stickers do!

Thankfully, mom Jennifer saved the day by finding a seat cover to sit on in the flowers, and we got some great shots!

Here are my favs:

Jennifer, your girls are beautiful and I had so much fun photographing your family!

:-)

Jenair and Sarha Maternity

2009-05-19T16:59:00.002-05:00

I was thrilled when Jenair and Sarha contacted me a few weeks ago to create some maternity portraits!

Not knowing when baby Layton was going to make his appearance, we quickly set it up and took the portraits in the studio.

Here are a few favs:

12 hours later, Layton was born!

Jenair, Sarha, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of this incredible time in your lives!

I can't wait to meet little Layton!! :-)

Reworks from the Abyss...

2009-05-18T18:15:00.003-05:00

The abyss being, of course, the deep, dark, scary place that is my hard drive.

Where thousands upon thousands of images have gone and been forgotten...

...until now.

Da Da Dummmmm!!

Here are a few re-worked gems from a session I had with Roy, an incredible person with a remarkable story!

From homeless to college graduate, look for Roy's story in the publication of Chicken Soup for the Soul: Extraordinary Teens.

Pre-order yours today!

Joel and Ethan

2009-05-11T18:01:00.002-05:00

Here are a few favs!

Joel, "E" is seriously the cutest kid around!

Thank you so much! I had a blast!

Abilene Families: Mommy Made Over!

2009-05-05T16:08:00.003-05:00

Today is a very exciting day!

The latest issue of Abilene Families is out, featuring a few photographs I took for the "Mommy Made Over" feature, including the cover image!

If you aren't familiar with Abilene Families, it is a magazine associated with Abilene Reporter News and the local school districts, Abilene ISD and Wylie ISD.

According to their website, Abilene Families focuses on the issues, joys and challenges facing families in Abilene.

One of the joys in family life in Abilene is the opportunity to win a fabulous makeover with Incognito At the Village Hair Salon and Dillard's.

Here are a few shots of lucky winner, Marissa, after her transformation:

Be sure to pick up your copy of Abilene Families today to check out the full story, and a few "before" shots of Marissa as well!

Special thanks to Incognito hairstylist, Maloree Munn, for her gorgeous work on Marissa's hair, to Regina Rains, owner of Incognito, for giving me this opportunity to shoot for Abilene Families, and to my beautiful hairstylist sister Tina Billiet! Also, thank you to Chesley Martin, editor of Abilene Families, for her sweet compliments!

Of course, I owe a huge thank you to Marissa Thompson for laughing on cue and walking like a supermodel!

You ROCKED it!! :-)

Courtney Senior Portraits

2009-05-01T16:24:00.002-05:00

Remember this beauty from her sneak peek?

Well she's back!

Courtney met us at the Episcopal Church of the Heavenly Rest and the T&P park downtown for her senior portraits.

Steve Morrow, from Morrow Photography was gracious enough to assist me on this shoot, and he let me use his ExpoDisc for proper white balance!

I am never, ever shooting without an ExpoDisc again!

Courtney has the most incredible blue eyes, and we had such a blast on our shoot.

Pictures!!

Courtney Senior Sneak Peek

2009-04-29T23:14:00.002-05:00

Ok, I just can't hold it in any longer!!!

The world must see how gorgeous my latest senior is!! AHH!!

I was uploading the pictures from our shoot last Saturday and this one screamed out "EDIT ME NOW!"

So I did...

...and here it is:

There's a lot more to come!

:-)

Lance and Kallie Engagement

2009-04-23T16:31:00.002-05:00

Kallie had two words for me as we were talking about her engagement portraits.

"No cheese!"

Haha! A girl after my own heart. I love it!

So Lance and Kallie met me out at Buffalo Gap, which, by the way, is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots to shoot, and we spent the late afternoon having fun and taking some pictures.

They are so down-to-earth, and full of laughter!

Here are a few favs:

Ok, so maybe one cheesy pic snuck in there at the end, but all in all, awesome shoot!

Lance and Kallie, thank you for allowing me to be a part of this special time in your lives!

You ROCKED it!

:-)

Seth and Anna Engagement

2009-04-21T20:05:00.002-05:00

What an adventure it was to shoot Seth and Anna's engagement portraits!

They are such a fun couple, and they had a million ideas for pictures!

From airplanes, to tractors, to horses, to lake docks, and everything in between, the opportunities for amazing pictures seemed to be endless around their families' land in Breckenridge.

I believe I could have stayed there and shot all weekend and still wouldn't have scratched the surface of the potential of incredible shots that place and this couple held.

Ok, enough about the awesomeness of the location and couple!!!

Bring on the pictures!!

This next picture is probably the most unique location I've ever shot.

At the end of the shoot, Seth and Anna mentioned there were some wildfires that had occurred the day before close by, and was curious if I would be up to taking some pictures in a burned up forest.

Umm...oh heck yes.

So I found myself in a forest where everything around me was covered in ash.

The trees, the ground, the rocks, everything.

I couldn't put my camera bag down because the bottom would have gotten filthy, and, due to the eerie surroundings, the entire mood of the shoot seemed to have shifted.

We spent a bit of time exploring, then we began shooting.

What we came up with made my jaw drop, and I hope yours does too.

Seth and Anna, you two are a breath of fresh air, and I can't wait until your wedding!

:-)

Nastasha Senior Portraits

2009-04-16T20:52:00.004-05:00

Nastasha contacted me a while ago wanting senior portraits.

So we met at Starbucks, and ended up talking about 2 hours!

Ah, I see so much of myself in her.

She's in band. I was in band.

She loves Sigur Rós. I love Sigur Rós.

She's a dancer. I...well...ok, so I can't make it through the week without falling at LEAST once, so no similarity there, but...

Add in my bestest Emily as the perfect reflector holder, and this was the making of a beautiful shoot!

And beautiful it was!!

Here are a few favs:

And of course, we can't forget...wait for it....

Da, da da da!! Emily!! The Perfect Reflector Holder!

Girls, thank you both so much for a fanta-bulous shoot!

Nastasha, you ROCKED it!!

Josh and Lindsay Engagement

2009-04-16T19:35:00.009-05:00

You might remember her from her graduation photos last year:

Not only has she moved on to get her master's this year, she is also getting married to her high school sweetheart Josh!

We met out at Kirby Lake at sunset, and had a fantastic shoot.

Here's just a few favs: (So many!!)

Josh and Lindsay, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of this important time in your lives!

I can't wait until the wedding!! :-)

Shannon, I couldn't have done it without you!! :-)

A few weeks ago, my friend Carissa contacted me to have a portrait session with her!

I haven't seen her since our sophomore year in high school, so I was thrilled to see her again!

She is classy, soft spoken, kind-hearted, and a very restful person to be around.

She made my job so easy!

It was freezing while we were shooting outside, but after a quick stop at Monks for a hot chai tea, she was a trooper and pulled through!

Here are a few:

Carissa, you are gorgeous and you ROCKED it!!

:-)

Some of you might remember Lauren from her shoot with her two golden retrievers.

Gold's Gym Physique Shoot

2009-01-15T12:30:00.002-06:00

In December, Gold's Gym was kind enough to open their doors to me for a physique photo shoot!

It was a wonderful opportunity to create some brilliant images.

I have to say, it was quite a sacrifice to edit these pictures.

Staring at those muscles all day sure was tough :-)

Lauren's Surprise Shoot

2009-01-15T10:49:00.002-06:00

In October, I was contacted by Lauren who had a fantastic idea.

She wanted to surprise her parents with pictures of her and their dogs for Christmas!

So, while her parents were out of town, we snuck into their backyard and had a fabulous shoot!

After some calming words, Bush loved having his picture taken.

Murphy was so playful!

Lauren, Murphy, and Bush were so much fun, and I can't wait to work with them again!

Artem

2008-12-29T16:09:00.002-06:00

A few weeks ago, I had the joy of taking pictures of the cutest 3-year-old ever!

Artem loves reading, and was quite comfortable surrounded by his favorite books in the studio.

Daddy read Artem his favorite story.

Afterwards, we had fun with blocks!

Artem was such a sweetheart, and I can't wait to work with him again!

Emmanuel and Jennifer

2008-12-08T02:47:00.002-06:00

Saturday morning, Emmanuel and Jennifer braved the chilly weather to take some pictures with their cute Yorkies!

Dolce, named after Dolce & Gabbana, had a blast running free around T&P park!

Coco, named after Coco Chanel, had fun chasing Dolce, but still found time to snuggle up against Emmanuel.

Jennifer's little sister, Jessica, didn't want to miss out on the fun either!
After assurance was made that there would be no scary flash used, she was a natural in front of the camera!

Once it began to warm up outside, it was time for lots and lots of leaf throwing!

Emmanuel, Jennifer, and Jessica were a dream to work with and the puppies were absolutely adorable!

Thanks for being such troopers on a cold day!

Physique Experiment

2008-12-04T16:35:00.002-06:00

A few weeks ago, my friend Chris came to me with an idea for a set of images.

He is the feature writer and editor of www.t-muscle.com and was looking for some new images to use as his avatar.

I had an idea of a certain lighting technique I wanted to try, so we set up the shoot yesterday and came up with some cool images!

Then we did a nice portrait highlighting his tattoo of his daughter's name.

I am loving this new lighting technique and I'm definitely going to explore it further!

Thanks Chris for being such an awesome model!

A New Expression

2008-11-26T02:01:00.007-06:00

Ever have the feeling of wanting to create something you've never done before?

I had that feeling tonight, and I think I've stumbled upon something very interesting.

For so long, I have been creating photographs that are very "real."

Real life, real love, real relationships, in the way I see the world.

So I dug deep into the abyss of my hard drive and found a couple of images that speak to me.

I had some new fun with them, and I would like to share them with you.

Perhaps this is a beginning of a new direction. :-)

Gus and Latonya

2008-11-17T19:21:00.003-06:00

I am very excited to share some engagement, bridal, and wedding images of Gus and Latonya!

I've had the joy of working with this couple since June and we've had a blast!

We shot their engagement photos in downtown Abilene.

Then, we shot Latonya's bridals at the Paramount Theatre.

Gus wanted to have a groom portrait as well.

Soon after, it was the day of the main event.

Gus and Latonya have been such a blessing in my life and I am so thankful they chose me to be a part of their special day!

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

Gorgeous!!

Tomio and Amie's Reception

2008-10-31T01:21:00.002-05:00

In September, I had the pleasure of taking pictures of Tomio and Amie's wedding reception!

Tomio and Amie are a lively, fun-loving couple and their reception was absolutely beautiful.

In honor of Tomio's heritage, a Samoan dancer performed the Taualuga, better known as the "money dance!"

What an exciting night it was!

I am so thankful I was able to be a part of Tomio and Amie's celebration!

Sarah's Bridal Portraits

2008-10-19T23:52:00.003-05:00

In July, I had the opportunity to create engagment photos for a fantastic couple!

Sarah and Joe were so natural in front of the camera, and their images turned out beautiful.

So, I was very excited when Sarah called me again in September wanting to surprise Joe on their wedding day with bridal portraits.

Of course, she didn't want just any bridal portrait.

She wanted to be next to a B-1 Bomber!

So we got day passes for Dyess Air Force Base and took pictures while Joe was in a class.

I love being in on a surprise!

Here are a few of my favorites:

I have been itching to share these since I first heard Sarah's idea!

Chris and Brittanie Family

Yesterday I got to create some fun family portraits for a wonderful family!

Baby Austin and Avery were two very special little girls and we had a blast taking pictures.

Austin was very laid back and seemed to enjoy being in the spotlight with her pretty purse.

Avery was a fireball of energy, but didn't mind hamming it up for the camera with her sister.

Chris and Brittanie are a wonderful couple, full of love and laughter, and I truly enjoyed the time spent with this family!
