Becca | Portrait Photographer Monroe Files Photography DuBois, PA

It's crazy what changes in a few short years. Two Christmas's ago I bought my twelve year old sister make up. The world hasn't been the same ever since! It feels like overnight Becca went from this cute curly haired little girl that loved to eat mints, craft and be goofy into a total model. I actually felt bad, because I feel like I stole my mom's youngest baby and forced her into adulthood. (Really, I didn't! I swear!)

She's only 14 !! I wish I looked like that at 14.

I was this geeky unproportionate thing. Well, it wasn't THAT bad,

but I DO know I wasn't blessed with long legs that go on for miles.

I will forever be a gymnast while Becca is an elegant ballerina.

I look like my Grammy K. and I'm still trying to figure out

where Becca came from =] It's a good thing though!

I bet a lot more boys will ride the bus to school if this was part of

the bus company's ad campaign!

I often wonder what Lily will blossom into as time marches on.

While I see myself and her Daddy in her...I see her Aunt Becca too.

Oh, and I constantly remind myself...the shenanigans I get Becca into...

will most likely be paid back with the shenanigans Becca gets Lily into!

There are 12 years between Becca and myself.

There are 13 years between Becca and Lily.

Funny how life works out like that!

If Tyra Banks is out there listening...Becca would love to come model for you!

This is what happens in a matter of 60 seconds and a million camera clicks.

It was the scene straight out of the Austin Powers movie..."ANNNND I'm spent!" =]

Meet Becca, my younger sister by 12 years who is an aspiring model/photographer. If you would have told me 14 years ago that she would be taller than myself, I probably would have laughed in your face. And, add insult to injury, she ALWAYS wears super high heels! I bust out the heels once in a great while, mostly because I have a tendency to be clumsy and clumsy + high heels = disaster. =) 

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful fall day!
Well, it could have been warmer!



Simply stunning

She kind of looked at me weird when I said, go pop a sqwat in the want to be wheat field.
And then she ended up liking them!

Her favorite place to get lost behind our house.

Favorite!!! I just love the bright gold with the dark blue sky and the pop of red from her sweater!

More of Becca's portfolio!

Meet Alanna! | Portfolio Photographer Monroe Files Photography

Alanna contacted me on myspace asking for some photos to start a portfolio. She suggested we hit Parker Dam. I was super excited because I haven't been to Parker Dam in years and it would be a new photography adventure!

I must admit, I was very bummed to see they replaced the play ground and the infamous tire swings. It wasn't a fun day at Parker Dam til you came home with black shins and feet! :D

First stop, play ground!

Next stop, the look out over Parker Dam.


Black & white?

Or color? LOVE Alanna's eyes!

It looks like she's going to fall into water :)

I really like this one...

LOVE LOVE LOVE her eyes!!

Work it girl!

Catching some wind off the Dam.

Yes, we like to play on old rusty construction equipment :P

We made it to the rocks at the bottom of the Dam...

after being warned about a copper head at the bottom of the stairs. NOT so excited about that. But, we survived!

LOVE it!

I had such a blast shooting with Alanna! I have so many faves, I didn't want to bore you all posting every single one of them :) Good luck in your endeavors, and if you need more photos...you know where to find me! :D

The beautiful and talented Miss Nicki needed headshots and guess who she called?! ME! I am very honored to do her headshots that she will send out to different places for her interest in Theatre and singing. :) I had a great time doing these photos and I look forward to a repeat session when she is ready! ENJOY :D

Sunkissed glow...love sunsets :)


MY FAVORITE!


I like this one too...I like alot of the ones we did in the willow tree!

Pretty girl!

Beautiful brown eyes :)

The evil villian stare...or just smiling with your eyes as Tyra would say.
