I hope you are all enjoyed your holidays. After Micah and Jaclyn’s wedding on Sat I came home and did the download and back-up (which I photographed to share with you later) and finally got to bed about 2am on the 24th. Ayden woke me up later that morning- he was ready to go to...
What a way to end the season! That’s right this was my last wedding of the year 28 by myself and one as a second shooter for Heather. Jaclyn and Micah were amazing. They are two of the most beautiful people I know. Inside and out. Their love for each other was abundant and obvious...
They didn’t pick the shortest day of the year, but they got very close. Laura and Neil came up for their engagement session with a whole about 20 minutes of light. But that’s ok, cause we had fun getting creative. I had a great time you two and am looking forward to the wedding.CA
Last Friday Erin and I went to Lennox to photograph the wedding of Betsy and Mike. Whoever said you can’t have weddings in SD in Dec was wrong (I still have one more wedding this year too). It was a beautiful day and wedding. They were married at the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church. They did a...
Well I’ve been so engrossed in the computer that I just realized I haven’t blogged in over a week. I bet some of you think I dropped off the face of the earth. I’m almost caught up, not yet we still have orders to send out and some weddings to edit, but we’re almost there....
After my plane flew me in at a very late hour I was so happy to be greated by my little boy smiling and waving and my handsome hubby, gosh I missed them. We stayed with some friends friday night so we didn’t have to drive back to Brookings and I got a few images...
I am thankful for so many things. I thought I’d share a couple… My family, specifically my little Ayden Clyde, for having a loving husband, a successful business, a job I enjoy, customers who appreciate what I do, a good town to live in, good friends, Erin who works her butt off for me and...
30 minutes of perfect light and a cute couple = a great e-shoot and some yummy lens flare. Yes I took some with out flare, but I’m not showing those cause I’m likin’ the flare right now. You can never have enough flare right? Gosh that makes me think of Office Space.CA
Every once in a while I do some commercial photography. Usually I can’t show the images until after they are used and sometimes not at all. But this one is now published and I can show you. I traveled North to the Horter Farm and got to have a little fun for a morning. John...
I don’t often need to do a reshoot and while they did have some great images I just had to go back when the light was good for more. So here is Zoe. She’s beautiful.CA
Last week Ayden got a bit sick and since it was contagious he couldn’t go to daycare. The S Family was nice enough to reschedule their session so that I could stay at home with my baby. I think it worked out well as we ended up with some beautiful light and wonderful images here...
Erin went with me to Sioux Falls yesterday for my session and watched Ayden. Afterwards we did some running around. Well when we came back Colton needed a bath. I managed to get some good ones.
It just makes me smile when I check the mail and have a nice thank you note. I got this today. Cory Ann, I just wanted to say thanks again for an amazing afternoon and gorgeous photos… it was so hard to choose. You’re an incredibly gifted photographer and we were so lucky to find...
Yesterday was Ayden’s birthday and we went to Sioux Falls. We stopped at Barnes and Noble where Ayden spent some of his birthday money on a new book. And I got some research material. Then we went to the Washington Pavilion. I didn’t realize how big the Kirby Science Discovery Center is and how much...
So his 4th birthday isn’t until tomorrow but we had his party yesterday. It is now a 4 year tradition to have a wild game feed. Andy the chef made some fabulous dishes that included squirrel, phesant, duck, goose, deer, antelope, rabbit and snipe. The cake from Hagman’s was commented as the best many had...
This weekend was Nate and Megan’s wedding. It just started out wonderful. I arrived early to find Pat from Gustof’s Greenery waiting patiently to show the bride her flowers before he left. Talk about a wonderful person and he knows his stuff too. The flower were beautiful! He comes highly recommended from me. This first...
On the 4th I headed down to Sioux Falls to Peace Lutheran Church for Chris and Leigh’s wedding. I had been looking forward to their wedding because on their engagement session they showed so much love and joy for each other. Leigh just can’t couldn’t stop smiling and this surely didn’t change on the wedding...
