Annika’s a Big Sister

Today Annika became a big sister. My assistant Erin called at about 11:30pm last night and while walking to the phone I thought, who is calling me at this hour. Well it was Erin on her way to the hospital. They dropped off Annika and went on their way. At around 2am I got the...

Landscapes

You’d think I went someplace really cool to get this wonderful image. But no, it’s right here in Brookings. On New Year’s Eve while shooting Jennie and Steve I snapped a couple of scenics of the gardens blanketed in snow. Just lovely. I’m thinking about blowing this one up for the house. Tech Data: D2x...

I must look old

Ok so this isn’t the best image to judge, but darn it I am not old enough to have a 15 year old daughter. Here is Kaylla and I after her game. She is 15 and she is my assistant, and a darn good one. But me being only 29 I really didn’t take it...

Kaylla’s Bball games

Well finally I got to go and watch Kaylla play basketball. Roosevelt played Washington. I don’t remember the score, but Kaylla played well and impressed me with her sportsmanship and effort. I used the opportunity to try out the new D200. Man I like this camera. It’s ISO (film speed) goes up to 1600 while...

Sarah + Justin: Sioux Falls, South Dakota Wedding

What can I possibly say? These two are amazing! What a completely fun and unique wedding. They were married on the stage at the Washington Pavilion in Sioux Falls. The reception was in the 3rd floor lobby and the dance was back down on the stage. The decorations were fabulous as Sarah who works at...

Jennie + Steve: Brookings, South Dakota Wedding

I spent my New Year’s Eve shooting my last wedding of the year. Wow the weather couldn’t have been more in their favor. It snowed and left the trees with a wonderful layer of white on them. Then as we were leaving the church for some images the blue sky came out and the sun...
