Jake and Emma Wedding

Wow! I cannot believe it has been 2 months since I've posted on my blog. I have done quite a few photo shoots since then, but have been too busy to update my blog. Enough moaning...

I had the pleasure of shooting a wedding this past weekend for a wonderful young couple. I shot Emma's sister's wedding a few years ago, so it was fun to be a part of another significant family event. Of course, Emma was a stunning bride. Her hair was elegantly pulled back into a low bun. She wore a gorgeous lace dress. She also wore a beautiful family heirloom fur since it was so cold outside. And Jake looked very handsome as well. I hope Jake didn't feel left out when I took 10 times more pictures of Emma than I did of him. There's just something about the bride that photographer's just can't get enough of!

Check out these fun images. I also created a slideshow that brings tears to my eyes. I'll have more pictures on my website soon. Enjoy!

Max and Sommer

I had the priviledge of taking Max and Sommer's pictures yesterday for Christmas cards. They are such cool young adults! I had a great time with them and their mom.

I designed a square Christmas card using some of their favorite pictures. The top picture is the front of the card, then the next picture is the inside left, then inside right, and back. There are so many pictures that I like that I wish I would have had room for more. Any text can printed or the cards can be blank for a hand-written note (wishful thinking).

Here's the slideshow. Enjoy!

Kelsey's Senior Pictures Round 2

I think that Kelsey would probably argue that we took her "round 2" pictures on the coldest day of the fall. It was very windy, which made for cool shots of her dance costume and her hair, but it was cold! We did the first round of Kelsey's pictures last month, and she decided that she wanted dance pictures as well. So I had a great time with Kelsey doing pictures twice! She is a great girl and an amazing dancer. She made it all look so easy. Enjoy the sneak peak!

Connor's Senior Pictures

I had the priviledge of taking Connor's senior pictures recently. I think we chose the coldest day that we've had this fall. But Connor took it like a man, and actually did very well. His mom and I were a bit chilly though.

Connor is one of those unusual guys that has a very natural smile on command. I got some cool shots at the park, then Connor got some cool shots at the basketball hoops, and then we went to my favorite rail road track. I don't think he missed any of his shots. I'll be anxious to see him play at SMNW this winter.

Enjoy the sneak peak! I'll have the rest of the pictures and a slideshow up on my website soon.

Ethan's Senior Pictures

I had the priviledge of taking Ethan's pictures last weekend and am finally getting his sneak peak posted. I had a great time with Ethan and his mom! We went to some fun places, including his house. I really enjoyed going to the football stadium. It seems so big when you are down on the field. (Ethan's team is having a great season, but the way).

I love studying boys and seeing the things that they do that girls don't do. Girls would not ask to climb on top of their truck to take pictures. Ethan had other good ideas of taking pictures on the track since he'll be running track in the spring. We'll do more pictures in the spring after track season starts.

Enjoy the sneak peak and look for a slideshow by next week.
