Leah from Envision Wedding Studio, Angelique from Platinum Imagination and I got to partner for a something other than a wedding. Envision designed the decor and paper materials for the party, Angelique did Miss Shelby’s hair and make up and I got to collaborate and photograph. Shelby was the cutest little thing. It was so...
This will be the last wedding on the blog for a while. It is a great one to end on. So here is a big post for all you wedding watchers with little text because through the images you will see how fun the day was, how beautiful the bride was, how handsome the groom...
What an incredible couple and family for me to spend time in Jamaica with. Michaela’s brother and I weren’t too smart when we swam out in the dark to the big boat that was way farther out than we thought. But it was still fun. And snorkeling with the family was great. I could get...
Another collaborative effort between Envision Wedding Studio and I. We decided it was time for a small county wedding concept to come to life. Here are the images.

I love this family! They are loving, giving, welcoming, gracious, big, fun and keep coming to see me or bringing me to see them. Just last month I witnessed and recorded the birth of T. He’s the littlest one and this was his newborn session. Of course what is a baby with out his family...
Tessa and Klint got married in the country a little church I was afraid I wouldn’t find. But alas I did and to find such a natural beauty for a bride. Tessa had a smile on her face almost the entire day, it’s no wonder Klint loves her. Klint and Tessa were also fortunate that...
Another little cutie. The last time she came in she slept through the whole session no matter what we did with her.
These two just make me smile and I hope they come back to see me for many years to come. Such a wonderful couple! The images: It makes it fun to edit when I have a second photographer covering another area of the wedding. Because then I find images like this. Loved the headpiece. Mom...
Miss M came in to create a one year anniversary gift for her hubby. Here is a little peak at her session.
Maria and Becca needed some updated images. So we took a few minutes in the backyard one evening. Pretty girls.
Rob was home from National Guard duty on his leave for a little R&R, we went out for some images. These soldiers do not like to be in that uniform when they don’t have to, but their ladies sure are proud of them, and darn it they look handsome. It just so happened that I...

Just a little tease from Annie and David’s wedding last weekend. Cory Ann Ellis, South Dakota Photographer AC Ellis
We haven’t sent out a card since some time in the winter of 06-09. I can’t even remember when it’s been so long. So I had an idea and asked the boys how they felt about retro shorts and such. Kaleb asks you mean like speedos? No, not what I meant, but great idea. And...
This lovely lady was a little worried that her images weren’t going to be great. Why you might ask, because she is a few months pregnant here with her 5th child. Yes A is looking this good this prego after already giving birth 4 times. I’d have to hate her for it if she weren’t...
One more groom getting the gift of beautiful images of his bride. B brought in a few outfits including her wedding day lingerie. How is a guy to resist?
I’m going to cram this post full of image of A, because I know I don’t post as often these days. A is graduating in just a few short months and here are her images that we created earlier in the school year. CA
The farthest anyone has ever called to schedule a session is held by Mark. He called me to schedule the engagement session while he was on duty in Afghanistan. Then while home on leave he did the ring shopping and proposed. Abigail had no idea. Mark is back over there now, but he and Abigail...
