Website Update

Hello! While I've been pretty busy with making sure I graduate this May, I've still been trying to make a new blog each day. Today I decided that my pricing section needed some more info. It is now updated and working perfectly (I just tested it!) As always, if you have any questions, just e-mail me!

And because I cannot have a blog post without a picture, here is a shot I took of me and my sisters before a Plain White T's concert:

Back in February...

I'm a little short on blog material, so I thought I'd post about my old high school's Valentine's coronation. Chelsie was nominated as one of the canidates, so I took the opportunity to get some awesome shots of her dress!

Sheena came along and we took turns taking pictures...

Introducing Miss Presley

I met Miss Presley the day after she was born (she is my friend, LaShelle's only niece) and have had the opportunity to have 3 photoshoots with her. Hopefully I'll get to take more pictures of her in the future!

ENGAGED: Marlita + Marty

I met the lovely Marlita & her fiance, Marty my freshman year at Iowa State. Marlita lived across the hall in the same dorm as me. So, when she got engaged, I practically begged her to let me take their engagement pictures! Enjoy!
