Gonna soak up the sun...

One of my all time favorite photographers, Kelly Moore (http://www.kellymoorephotography.com/) is having a contest with the sun! Since my sisters are here for the weekend, we decided to drive around and look for interesting places for shoots. Luckily it's a gorgeous day here in Iowa (for once) and the sun was shining bright! Now, the pictures:

Sheena was trying to hide from the camera...




I'll have more pictures from their visit soon!

Senior Pictures: Ashley

Ashley is one of Chelsie's friends and the other Senior (Class of 09) I photographed last fall. We had fun exploring downtown Ames for the day!













We also played around in the woodsy area close by my apartment:




And my favorite with the fun bright green wall & Ashley showing off Chelsie's tutu:

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:


And my lovely sisters:

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...

Meet Little Aden!

You've already met Jacque, well I got to shoot a few pictures of her adorable little nephew earlier this year! It was fun getting to meet Aden for the first time, he's such a cutie!

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!

Presley's first pictures:

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!











Trees and water seems to be a theme...




I found an outdoor chalkboard that provided an excellent backdrop for some pictures:






Ring Shot!
