Sydney's Senior Sneak Peak

I had the honor of photographing Sydney's Senior Session. I have known her brother for several years, but have never really met her before. We had such a fun & great time during the session! I really enjoyed photographing Sydney with all of her sport equipment & clothing. I was able to use my 2 new chairs I had purchased a couple weekends before the session & they worked great with her outfits! Thanks Sydney for letting me photograph your Senior Session, it was a lot of fun! Congratulations and good luck in all that you accomplish!

Umthun Wedding Sneak Peak

I had the honor of photographing my cousin Brett Umthun's wedding day. I couldn't have asked for better weather, it was gorgeous outside! The complete wedding day went smoothly, and I got to use my new 70-200 IS lens that I had just purchased the week before. It was my first time taking my knowledge from my wedding class and putting it to the test from lights at the alter to other locations around the church. The bride & groom both looked amazing, and I loved photographing every moment of their special day! Congratulations Brett & Megan, I wish you two the best of luck & happiness!

Baily's Senior Session Sneak Peak

I had the honor of photographing Baily's Senior Session. We were in the same 4-H group while I was back in High School, so it was really nice to be a part of her senior year! She brought many different outfits to choose from, and did a great job with colors, and textures! We went to a junk yard she knew of; I got a lot of great photographs from there! The whole evening went great minus the millions of mosquitoes.
I also got to use my new 70-200 2.8 IS lens for her session! It came in just that week before and I couldn't wait to use it in a session. The lens worked great and it was nice having a different lens to switch to for outdoor locations we went to. I would like to thank my dad for his persistence of looking for the lens on ebay! Congratulations Baily, hope your senior year is amazing!

Terry & Denise's Engagement Sneak Peak

I had the honor of photographing Terry & Denise's engagement session over Memorial weekend. I had a great time photographing this young couple! Denise has been a friend of mine for a few years now, thanks to a friend that we both have in common. Terry & Denise have been together for over 7 years, and can't wait to tie the knot. I look forward to photographing their wedding October 23rd, 2010. Congratulations Terry & Denise!

Draven's 1st Birthday

My amazing nephew turned 1 on May 23rd. I would have to say he had a great Birthday, with family from both sides there to see how much he has grown and enjoy this special day with the parents. Draven is defiantly a little kid that knows how to work the system already but has a BIG heart! He loves to wave goodbye to everyone and even give hugs.
He had an interesting time eating his very first cake, I don't think he really had a clue what was going on, "my parents never put stuff like this in front of me?" He also got A LOT of NEW toys to play with! I had to ask my sister where they were going to put them all, but she replied that they packed some of the old away. I don't think this one-year-old is going to get bored anymore!
I thought I would share some of the photos of the cake eating with you, hope you enjoy!
