PORTRAITS IN THE PARK
The torrential rain has finally stopped and the flooding has subsided. The sun is shining and the Oklahoma heat wave has arrived. With that comes the beautiful green grass, trees are full of leaves and people are buzzing around enjoying all the outside activities.
I recently did a session for a gorgeous family in the Myriad Gardens Park. This family of 5 oozes love and they know how to have fun and aren’t afraid to show it. We had a ton of fun and laughed a lot as each of their personalities came thru, mom was making sure the girls had lip gloss, dad was taking selfies with Nikon and brother was waiting on bubble gum after the session. This is why I love this job. When you're able to catch the pure love, joy, laughter and emotions of their relationships. Every family needs to have pictures to decorate their walls, to share with their families near and far and to share with their future generations.
Mom and dad just celebrated their anniversary and I was beyond excited that I was asked to take their portraits. They'll have new portraits on their walls in no time and mom and dad will have updated pictures for their desks at work.
When was the last time you updated your portraits for walls at home or your desks? Do you have an anniversary coming up? What a great time to update your pictures.
Contact me so we can set up your session.
In late December I had the privilege to shoot an amazing family at the Chickasaw National Park. The weather was not nice at the time. I think it was like 20 degrees. But they were all troopers, we would take a few shots then get in the car to warm up. The images turned out amazing and I am so proud of the the kids for hanging in there. We will shoot them again but this time in the spring/summer time. I think mom is already shopping for their outfits.
Hi! My name is Vanessa Wells, owner, photographer, pencil pusher and janitor of Vanessa Wells Images. I am an avid OU fan who loves college football and an occasional pro game on the weekend when I’m not out creating fantastic images for my clients or helping other photographers do the same. I love a good laugh, music, hanging out with friends, family, spoiling my granddaughter and meeting new people. It can be said that I used to never step out of my comfort zone. Now, I’ve been know to just jump right off of the cliff. I’m always learning something new everyday whether through trial and error, seminars, reading or tossing ideas around with other photographers. One of my favorite quotes “Fear is Good. You can not have courage without a little bit of fear. Embrace it, Own it and Destroy it!”
I always wondered what I would do when my kids were raised and creating their own path in this crazy world called life. They say you find yourself in your 40’s…That is so true…I have finally found my passion and calling. Relatively new to the photography industry as a whole, you would always find me with a camera in my hand. I have taken pictures for years at family functions and my girls sporting events. When my girls decided to retire from sports, I was not ready to hang up my camera strap. That is when I decided to take my photography hobby to the next level.
Call me so we can make beautiful images together of your family. Images for your future generations to enjoy and cherish.
