If you want to be my fan please join me over on my OAKSTREAM FAN PAGE

I had the pleasure of photographing this GORGEOUS senior girl the other day & what a blast we had.  LOL treking through the snow was hilarious…hehe!  This girl has some style….oh FUN times!!!  I LOVED her outfit choices!!!!!  Thanks for such a wonderful time girlie!!!!!!

Photographing 2010 seniors will soon come to an end next month (April), but 2011 seniors.  It’s definitely NOT too early to start thinking about your senior pics.  If you want stylish, unique, fun senior pics then call now to get scheduled.  My dates become VERY limited with all the weddings I shoot….so don’t procrastinate to book ;-)

You wondering what 5 for 5 means?  Well let me tell you.  It’s INSANITY!!!! ;-)

February marked the 5 year mark that Oakstream Photography has been in business!  I got my biz license in Feb 05 & shot my very first wedding in May 2005.  For those first couple years I practiced & practiced, read & read anything & everything I could get my hands on.  ENDLESS hours spent on the computer.  NEVER going to bed!  Such a crazy time, but I KNEW I wanted to learn as much as possible about photography & having my very own business.

Well 5 years later…through lots & lots of trial/error, the support of my husband, my poor lil boys as my models every 5 seconds, family & friends who supported me in this journey…..here I am! :-)  Still pluggin along!!!

So for the celebration 5 for 5 simply means this…….

The first 5 portrait clients to book a PORTRAIT session (seniors included) will receive your session for $5!!!!!!     UPDATE:::::SESSIONS FILLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

PLUS…..20% discount off all prints/product items!!!!

If you or someone you know has always wanted a portrait session with Oakstream Photography nows the time to book!  To get the word out you can post my blog link to your facebook status, twitter or post on your own blog.

You MUST be willing to have fun & want to create unique, innovative custom art photography!!!!!  I don’t do boring….LOL ;-)

Please contact me via my website or e-mail me at alisha@oakstreamphotography.com to receive more information & to get your date booked.   (Offer does NOT apply to already booked portrait sessions, extended family shoots or weddings.  The $5 session fee is only valid for up to 4 people)

Speaking of websites…..the LONGGGGGG over due updating of my website FINALLY is done!  Go to Oakstream Photography click on weddings or portraits & view all the new eye candy shots!  Enjoy it cause you might not see it updated for another 2 years….LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Now as a little some’n some’n I decided to show a couple shots of when I VERY first started out.

My boys…aren’t they so handsome with those snarls on their faces :-)  They HATED when I wanted to go out & practice on them!!!  The McDonald’s happy meals bribery only lasted a few times & they finally just DESPISED the sessions.  Now to date.  They are big boys now & Dakotah is soon to be 15 & thinks he looks good so he wants his pic taken, Matthew will be 10 in a few weeks & well he humors me, but makes a silly face or closes his eyes!  hahaha!

oooo love the pink and blue and all the color

Last week I had the great pleasure of meeting up with Meagan & Nate to shoot their engagement pics.  If anyone knows me they know I love for my couples to be creative to think of something that portrays ‘THEM’!!  So what portrays Meagan & Nate…what they love to do?  SNOWMOBILING!!!!!!  OMGOSH I can’t even tell you how much fun we had!  Meagan’s brother loaded & waxed the snowmobiles, picked us up at the Ranger station & we headed to Tony Grove.  Our ride was superior.  The sun was shining at the starting point when Tanner unloaded the machines for us….then as we were heading to Tony Grove it just kept snowing more, & more…& MORE!!!  I was thinking…ugh….this might not work…we’re in a blizzard…hahahahaha!  Well it did work & we had the BEST time together. 

I have to say the most fun thing about when I meet my couples & we start their shoots is I walk away having great friendships!  It’s so special….to see their love….to see them laugh….to see why they are meant for each other…..it’s SUCH a GREAT joy for me to watch!!!!

We started off in town for a few shots before we headed up the canyon to Tony Grove.

Amber posted the following on February 25, 2010 at 8:16 pm.

Okay, these are darling! I came across your website through another photographer’s. You create beautiful photographs that are a joy to look at! Oh, and please thank this sweet couple for looking happy in their engagement pictures, especially this young bride and her beautiful smile. It’s nice to see people who actually look excited to be getting married, you know? (not forlorn, which seems to be the trend) :) Beautiful work.

Audrey posted the following on February 26, 2010 at 11:39 am.

These are so fun!! The action shots (them running and on the snowmobile) are just so cute!!
