I met the Jacques family at Riverside park for some fun candids today. It’s getting scarce to find great shooting spots in the parks but I found an area that still had leaves on the trees. Their son was more interested in running around in the leaves versus sitting down and getting his picture taken by me. With a lot of running around by me and chasing their son thru the leaves was I able to get a couple of great images of the family in this brightly colored area of the park.

Trisha is looking to get into modeling and was needing images for her portfolio. The shoot was fun, and if she’s never modeled before then she’s a natural as she had no problem posing or following my directions. Here are some new images from that photo session.

The easiest way to remember wedding anniversaries is to have it on a big day, like a holiday, like Halloween. Brian & Heather were married on Halloween, 2009. The wedding ceremony was held on the Terrace of the Hyatt. The weather was beautiful and perfect. The couple themed their wedding around one of their favorite Tim Burton movies – “The Nightmare Before Christmas”. Some of the cool details from their wedding consisted of the uber cool cake topper and the table decorations. Here are some fun shots from their big day, and please leave a comment if you can.
Congratulations Brian & Heather!!!

Photographing the Arnett family is always a lot of fun. It was pretty windy outside, so we decided to have their portrait session inside at the studio. Here are a handful of images from their shoot…
(the last image was thrown in for fun as Logan was having a meltdown in the little car he discovered he would play in)
Gotta love outtakes!

Jordan and Jordan’s wedding at Eastminster Presbyterian Church was amazing. I loved capturing some candids outside before and after the wedding. The sky was a little overcast, but it really helped give some pop to the colors they chose for their wedding. After the wedding, we headed to Exploration Place for the reception. Something cool and different about their reception was they had gaming tables for those who didn’t want to dance. Here are some of my faves from their big day…
Congratulations Jordan & Jordan!!!

Sadie is not a dog that trusts people, especially strangers, and I was definitely a stranger to her. This image was taken in front of the home and she’s sitting on a brick wall. Some of the sounds from the neighborhood helped her keep her posture as she was trying to figure out where the barking was coming from.

Brian and I had the opportunity to photograph Jared & Ashley’s wedding on Saturday. What a fun couple to hang out with for a day!
Brian and I decided to change up our routine and switch who photographs who before the wedding. This time I went with the groom and he went with the bride for the getting ready shots. I think it’s fun to change up a routine so not to get stuck in a rut. Here are my favorite images from Jared & Ashley’s big day…

A photographer I like to follow by the name of Chase Jarvis wrote a book called “The Best Camera Is The One That’s With You”. He mentions that “an image can come from any camera, even a mobile phone“.
Here are some images I’ve taken with my iPhone because it was the camera that was with me at the time. And the fact that “there’s an app for that” allows me to play around with images from apps that I’ve downloaded. So, it’s true, that an image can come from any camera, even a mobile phone.

Here’s an image I took from the Ashcraft farm where my class reunion was held last weekend. It’s located just south of my hometown of Newton, Kansas.
For some reason I had the opening scene of Motley Crue’s video “Dr. Feelgood” in my mind when I shot this, so I attribute it as my inspiration for this image.

We were asked by the staff at Heartspring to photograph some of their kids for their up coming fundraiser – Lights on the Lake.
I really enjoyed working side by side with Heartspring’s Katie, Jennifer and Melanie as they were so great with the kids and getting them to have fun during their photoshoots. I’m guessing by the smiles on the kids faces that they had fun too.
I’ve included a link to Heartsprings 6th Annual – Lights on the Lake event so if you could, take a moment and check out their website or better yet, visit Lights on the Lake as part of your holiday, driving through the Heartspring campus to marvel at dozens of displays, thousands of lights and their 45-foot-tall tree of lights (Heartspring.org).
