Just met with Brianna and Derek and can't wait to shoot their wedding in June.  We did their engagement shots on a freezing cold day in March. They were great at pretending to be warm though!   We love shooting weddings.  If you send someone our way, we'll give you a $25 giftcard to Target, Starbucks, or Applebee's when we book the wedding.  Once we shoot the wedding, you'll get another $25 giftcard! 

Congratulations, Erin and Jorge!

We had a blast shooting Erin and Jorge's wedding at the IMA.  The beginning of October was super chilly, and we wondered what might happen with this garden wedding.  As it turned out, Erin and Jorge couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day.  Their wedding was perfect, followed by a fabulous brunch, complete with scrambled eggs served in martini glasses.  The day was casual yet elegant as evidenced by the custom, Converse tennis shoes.  Our thanks to Delaney's physical therapist of many years, Dale Turner, for trusting in us and giving Erin and Jorge the gift of photos!  

Congratulations, Dustin and Karlyn Fowler!

My nephew got married in Florida last month. They were going to fly us all down to shoot the wedding, but . . . . We had the pleasure of shooting their reception last Saturday. Congratulations, Dustin and Karlyn. We are super happy for you guys and Ava!

Staying at It

Well . . . we were on a mission to keep up with this blog and apparently have been busy since Christmas!!! We're still busy but have decided to stay at it. We had shot some over the past several months but had to scale back. To be honest, we had debated about whether to keep going with the business. Steve had the pleasure of shooting at my nephew's wedding reception last night, which reminded us of how much he enjoys shooting along with his 13-year-old sidekick. We are shooting a wedding in October and look forward to ramping up again. It really is what you put into it, so we'll see.

I'm posting some engagement photos we took this summer and some family shots we enjoyed doing. The reception photos are on the way. Thanks for breathing some life back into us, Dustin and Karlyn!

Merry Christmas!

Well . . .  the business side of life kept us even busier than usual this holiday season.  I was trying to post photos every week or so, but  . . . .
All in all, we had a blessed Christmas and hope you did too!  Next year I will really have to be on top of things and would love to organize my life better.  I am seriously writing myself notes to put in the attic w/ our Christmas stuff.  When we pull down all the decorations, I will see "the list" of how life should be different and work on our focus for the season.  Even with the business, this year was better, but I always wish it was more peaceful. 

All that to say, we enjoyed helping families celebrate the season with photos.  We loved capturing this baby and her wonderful family!

Backyard Studio

We wrapped up our Thanksgiving weekend with a big family shoot.  I knew this family wanted nothing to do with traditional portraits and told them to feel free to bring ideas, props, etc.  Little did we know.  We arrived to find a fall scene uniquely created in the backyard.  Every family sported flavorful fall colors.  This group wanted photos that truly expressed them, each and every one.  We landed somewhere between candid and posed.  Honestly, this was a ton of fun.

Young Models

Once the big family scene ended, Steve shot individual families and a few of the kids on the side.
