Amberly and Vernon…

We had a beautiful, sunny day, even if it was a little cold.  The guys didn’t mind, of course.  For once they were actually comfortable, neither too hot or too cold.  The girls on the other hand had to brave the windy day, and have a pleasant look on their face, despite the shivers.  I [...]

Love and honour to Miami….

“Our college old and grand.
Proudly we shall ever hail thee
Over all the land!
Alma Mater now we praise thee,
Sing joyfully this lay.
Love and honour to Miami,
Forever and a day!”
 
Okay, I’ll admit, I’m more than a little excited to get to work with Lanita and Kyle.  The big MU definitely holds a special place in my heart!  [...]

Nathan can stand!

I can’t believe that Nathan is 9-months old.  This year has just flown by!  I stopped by the other day to snap a few of him in all his 9-month glory.  Big brother, Brady, participated a little.  We tried to get a few of the boys together, but as you know with kids… you take [...]

More beautiful frames…

Everyone is loving this new collage wall.  I just finished two framed collages… I’ll be honest, I will have trouble letting them go.  They were so beautiful!  The images are from Reese’s newborn session.  As soon as Jill saw the collage wall, she told me that she wanted it for her living room.  These are [...]

I want this one… No, I want this one…

Oh… I can’t decide!  That’s what I hear from clients all the time as we sit down to look at the session images at their proofing session.  When I meet with clients for our scheduled proofing session and they see all of their portraits for the first time, we usually discover that we have a [...]

Capturing fall…

Yesterday I had the chance to have a bunch of firsts… It was the first time I shot a portrait session at Sharon Woods.  It was the first time I shot a family portrait that included a dog.  It was the first time I had the opportunity to take a hike to a portrait location.  [...]

I almost fell in the river!

With my camera to boot!  Can you believe it?  Fortunately I have superb balance, and was able to catch myself.  You should have seen the look on Heather and Andy’s faces when I wobbled!   Heather and Andy had a great session.  I’m so thankful they are patient, as I drug them all over Sawyer [...]

A walk in the park…

Hanging out with Laura and Gary at Ault Park was definitely an adventure.  I had a blast experimenting with them, trying new things.  Both Laura and Gary were willing participants in the session.  During a phone conversation with Laura before the session, she said that she thought Gary would feel very comfortable, and that she [...]

You + Me = We

Well, Kelly and Matt are now officially a “We.”  After an exciting, event-filled day, I am happy to say that their wedding images are finally edited!  I had some great opportunities on this day… I was invited to use flash for a church ceremony for the firs time ever.  Needless to say that I took [...]
