An extra 10 minutes....

In a mere ten minutes, you can accomplish a lot.. folding a load of laundry, loading the dishwasher, painting your finger nails.... OR.... photographing a subject on the fly. This evening I plopped my sister in front of a studio light and took less than 10 minutes of images.... and here is the dazzling result!
 I LOVE MY JOB!!

A Day at the Salon

Pampered, trimmed, colored, and styled! Check out the sneak peek from today's awesome photo-shoot feature Urban Style's Salon and Spa in Battle Ground, WA. This upscale salon features everything from custom color, to edgy hair design, to spa pedicures, facials, and massage therapy. I've been using this salon for years now and just love it!

A few of my favorite things!

It has been a little while since I've shared some of my favorite things. I recently thought of all the things I can't live without and thought I would share them with you! Check them out when you can... you won't be sorry!!


#1 Pineapple Cilantro Candle from Tommy Bahama  - TO DIE FOR scent that lasts for hours and hours. It is definitely worth the $23. Get ready to be transported to tropical paradise in a mere seconds after lighting this beauty!



#2 Mineral Gold Sensaria Facial System - Okay people, I have tried EVERY facial system out there and this one BY FAR is the most awesome! This all natural, locally made product is definitely worth the investment! PLUS, Sensaria is a home-based party business, which means that you can plan an awesome "girls night" where you can invite your girlfriends out for a night of spa treatments! Check them out at: Amanda Roberts

#3 The Olive Branch Body Wash from Lush - This incredible body wash is out of this world. I have a serious hankering for anything containing sicilian olives and this product totally hits the mark on all levels. The warmth of the Mediterranean comes to you with a comforting mandarin and bergamot fragrance. We say this creamy shower gel is a peace offering to the skin because it's loaded with Organic olive oil to moisturize and soften your body while lemons gently cleanse... it is even better than it sounds! 


#4 - Cover Girl Black Eyeliner - I can't live without this. I've used it since I was 12 and I still love it. 

#5 Smashbox O-Gloss - This stuff is awesome! It changes from clear to your own natural lip color. I love how it tints specifically for me! It makes me feel so special! :-)











Who said graduation pictures are only for high-school seniors?







....and the final Guest Book Debut!






My name is Kellene Maynard and my passion is capturing intricate moments and details that tell the world all about who you are! My photojournalistic style highlights the beauty in each individual and allows for true uniqueness to shine through in every image. Weddings are my love affair, as I eat, sleep, and breathe all things “wedding”. Portraits are my unfailing love; watching my subject come alive in front of the camera is more fulfilling than ever. Documenting stories is what I do best, whether a wedding, a delivery story, a birthday party, or individual portraits, my goal is to evoke your inner individuality and allow it to shine through in your images. My passion is for capturing true splendor and the essence of your story; capturing the “Real” you is what I do best!
