Wow, I can’t believe I’m up and out of bed. But you know I just had to look at these images first thing. Yesterday was the wedding of Nate & Lyndsey. They had a 7pm ceremony at Tuthill Park, but photography started at noon with the guys on the golf course… that was fun! We...
This evening Laney came down from Watertown for her 2 year birthday pictures. First we went and tooled around McCrory Gardens and then we went back to the studio. I think we got some really good natural images. Her eyes sparkeled when she smiled. Here are a couple of my favorites.
This evening I had the engagement shoot for Heather and Eric who will be getting married next June (yes I’m booking that far out). Heather’s dad was kind enough to bring down his 30 something Plymouth to Sioux Falls to be in the pics. We had some fun utilizing the car… I love the character...
I just got done looking through Maleah’s 6 month pictures, her shoot was this morning. There are a lot that I like and she had such cute outfits, it was hard to choose what to post. I thought I would post what made me think of the session. First we have Maleah being a perfect...
This weekend I traveled to the Omaha, NE area to photograph the wedding of a good friend. Some of you may recognize Leslie and her new hubby Joe from my website and my sample guestbook. Leslie and Joe got married at the beautiful Fontenelle Forest in Bellevue, NE. The decorations were simple and elegant and...
Last night I photographed Bridget’s suprise Sweet 16 party. Her parents were cool enough to set it up. They booked the Old Fire Hall and the music was provided by her cousin. Lots of people stopped down, there was a bunch of mingling, a bit of dancing, and a lot of snacking. I got a...
Today Tate, my godson, turned six months old. So we had a little fun with some tin buckets courtesy of his grandma Kris. He had to wear the bibs for his dad, Mitch. And mom, Alysia, brought some TP to play with. We had fun, he’s a great subject!
Yesterday Josh and Danielle got married in Pipestone, MN. I managed to pull them away for a few fun shots behind the church and out on the highway at sunset. Danielle wore the poofiest gown I’ve ever shot, so of course I need to take advantage of that. Josh look handsome in his Airforce uniform....
Cari drove all the way from Eureka, SD to have me do her graduation portraits. I was honored that she made the trip and had fun doing her shoot. She was fun to work with and Mike, a friend, was a good reflector holder.
So after getting a little lost I found the wonderful home of the Cassutt family. Now talk about a lot of work, 6 kids, 3 horse, 3 dogs, chickens, motorcycles and I’m sure all kinds of stuff I didn’t get to see. I didn’t get to meet Samantha before hand or even talk to her...
Tina and Jerod got married in the cutest little church in the middle of nowhere, ok not nowhere, somewhere around Toronto or something like that. I loved the small personal atmosphere. It was a very nice ceremony and they managed to take off in style… a big ol bus that really didn’t want to shut...
Kelcey a Brandon senior drove up for her shoot and we managed to get a couple of outdoor shots in before heading inside after the rain started to come down. We had fun in the back alley and then in the studio, another with wonderful eyes who photographed beautifully. Have I said lately I love...
I finally managed to get my neighbor to quit taking Tara to JCPenny’s, I’m sorry, but these turned out so much better and the collection as a whole shows her many faces and her personality at the bright young age of 2. This is my favorite image from the session.
Talk about some cool parents. Now I’ve known Ryan’s mom a while. Back when I worked at the Brookings County Jail so did she. And then when Andy worked at the Citgo she was managing it. Well I went in to get some gas and guess who was there. You guessed it. So a quick...
I cannot tell you how much I love these two. They are so fun and free and themselves in front of the camera. I went up to MN to shoot their bridal session. I thought it would be fun to have a different area to shoot in. Tamer, a fellow photog, was kind enough to...
I had a fabulous weekend in MN. I got to do two photo sessions and go to dinner with some fellow photogs. And can’t forget I got to go to IKEA.. now that was an adventure. On Saturday morning Shawna, Brian and I got a session in just in the nick of time… it poured...
I’m looking forward to this wedding so much. Jill and Preston were a blast to work with. They drove down from Fargo for their engagement and these were taken on the way to and at Oakwood State Park. I love this place.
April and Tony were a fabulous couple that were a blast to work with! Talk about some serious fun… we had golf, dancing, hanging out at the gardens, raising trouble on the streets of downtown Brookings and lots of people having a fabulous time! April made a stunning bride in her simply elegant dress. And...
