..Off to XTREME!..

I had to let all of you know that I am leaving for New York today to attend the Xtreme Seminar with two amazing photographers! I can't wait to learn all that they have to speak about, and working in a daylight studio downtown. This will be a great time, and I will be sure to have pictures up when I return on Thursday!

..Christie & Chad's Wedding..

Last night was the wedding of Christie & Chad -- and this was an AWESOME group to work with! They rented a party bus, so we got to go all around town for some amazing (and almost kicked-out, but it was worth it!) location shots! Here are just a few of the favorites, and their SLIDESHOW!

Enjoy Mexico you two!

..Stephanie & Anthony..

And now for the second couple that braved the cold elements on Sunday afternoon for their E-session! You would never know that they had 4 hours of sleep, and traveled all the way from New York the morning these pictures were taken. They had a lot of fun with it...and I had a blast with Steph and Tony! Their wedding is in February, and I am so excited for the look and feel that it will have.

Your slideshow is HERE -- enjoy!

..Erin & Joe..

Two couples braved the cold and the wind yesterday for their E-Session, and Erin & Joe were one of them! We had to take advantage of the great leaves & sun, and we got some great shots of these two. Their wedding is in April -- and I cannot wait to see the Sage green with BOLD flower-colors!

Congratulations to both of you, and here is your SLIDESHOW!!

..United Way Fundraiser..

Each year at my full-time job, we run a 1-week campaign to support the United Way and all that they do! I do my part by offering small little photo sessions outside the building -- $25 gets you 5 shots with your department, family member, significant other or pet -- and a CD of those 5 shots! Not only is it a great deal, but ALL of the money goes to a good cause!

Here is the SLIDESHOW, and a couple of my faves from the 19 sessions!

..the Croft Family..

This morning, the rain was out in force -- forcing us to go indoors for a family portrait with the Croft's. It is a rare occasion that everyone is together -- so we went to Union Station to get some great portraits! Here are a few of the favorites, and the slideshow is HERE !
Hope that you like the music that I selected! :)

..Katey & Bryan's Wedding!!..

Last Saturday was the wedding of Katey & Bryan, out at Old Shawnee Town. It was a gorgeous Fall-Themed wedding, complete with beautiful colors, leaves, and decor. These two were a blast, and definitely have a LOT of fun together!

Here are just a couple of favorites, and of course their SLIDESHOW!!

..Shannon & Zach's Wedding!!..

Last Friday was the wedding of Shannon & Zach, and WOW are they a great couple. Shannon has a smile that just lights up a room -- and she was so excited to see Zach when she walked down the aisle! Zach was just grateful that I didn't make him JUMP again (like I did for their engagement pictures) -- and instead, we made all of his groomsmen jump while he watched! :) They had a great time on their wedding day, and it really shows in their images.

You two were so much fun, and I wish you all the luck in the world!
Here are just a couple of my favorites, and your slideshow is HERE!

..Nick's Senior Session..

As promised, I have the last session from Sunday ready to go! I actually photographed Nick's brother Bryan last year (he is the senior in front of the black Camero on my website) -- and you may recognize Courtney from a few blog-postings ago!
Nick had TWO consultants with him for fashion -- and I think that he has some great shots. He was a natural... ;) SLIDESHOW here!

..Sunday Sessions..

I am getting caught up, slowly buy surely! I had 4 sessions on Sunday, and it started off with senior Kerry. She had some AMAZING eyes, and a great smile! Here is her slideshow!Next up was an engagement session with Stacy and Mark. These two are major KSU fans -- and I was able to get a LITTLE P.D.A. from them for their session! SLIDESHOW!Then was the Geiter family -- they are a favorite because they get a family portrait every Fall. This was their third-annual, and I love Belle-Dog! :) Slideshow HERE!I will have more up tomorrow -- another Senior session, and the wedding that I photographed last Friday!!

..Saturday's Sessions..

This was by far the busiest photo-weekend that I have EVER had! Friday was a wedding, Saturday I had three portrait sessions, and today I had four more!! WHEW! I should setup a tent at Loose Park and just live there -- it is such a great location and I am there every weekend -- so why not? :) So here are the favorites, and slideshows from Saturday. I hope to get the wedding, and four sessions from today online in the next day or two! So enjoy the slideshows!!

First was the Cox Family -- and I got to play tickle-monster to make this little girl smile!Next was Danielle and Brent -- they had fun with their shoot which makes my job easy! Their wedding is in April of next year.
Finally was Anita and Kevin -- who are getting married in June. They are having a complete Phantom of the Opera-themed masquerade ball for their special day! Their session ended in a great leaf-fight!
Until next time!! :)

..Dave & I's Engagement Session..

So, I commissioned my little sister and her boyfriend Matt to come out and take Dave and I's E-session last Sunday. I setup the camera, and the general poses, and let her take it from there! I must say that I am MUCH more comfortable being on the other side of the camera. But I think it was a good thing for me to see that perspective -- since that is what all of my Clients see. Now I understand why sometimes they look at me funny when I ask them to act-out some of my ideas!! It was a lot of fun, and my sister (Abbey) got lots of pictures with Matt as payment. The benefits of having a photographer in the family!
