Pohlman-Thomas Engagement Session

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

This is Amy Pohlman and Adam Thomas. We shot their engagement session way back in October. I have to say I had a hard time choosing my favorites from this session. There were just so many good ones. The couple was good looking and photogenic, the weather was awesome (see the skies and the sunset in the pictures to see what I mean) and the location was great (we even had a pond and a dock that faced the sunset. It doesn’t get better than that.

Amy and Adam, we’re really looking forward to shooting your wedding in May.

Extreme make-over contest.

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Well . . . maybe not “Extreme“, but a make-over contest none-the-less.

Last week, the hair-stylist that we use for all of our H.S. seniors called me to ask if we would do some photos for a make-over competition that she’s entering. She took a “before” picture on her cell phone, did the make-over, and then brought her over to our studio for some “after” shots.

We did the first picture in sort of a high-fashion style (kind of like what you’d see on America’s top model) and then we did the second shot in more of a 50′s pin-up style.

Below you will see all three pictures that are being submitted for the competition. I think the transformation is pretty incredible. Kudos to Danielle Moffitt at Elements salon in Cape Girardeau (she’s the stylist that did the make-over) and then also to our beautiful model, Stephanie Schmitz.

Step back – here’s Jack!

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

We had a 3-month old in the studio this morning. This is Jack Daugherty. Jack is a member of our baby club (well technically, he’s not . . . he doesn’t have a job or any money . . . but his parents are). Anyway, we’ll be shooting 3 more sessions of him throughout his first year of life so keep an eye out for Jack on the blog this year. I’m sure you’ll be seeing more of him.

Here are a few of my favorites from Jack’s session.

boy or girl? Drumroll please . . . . .

Monday, January 4th, 2010

We went to the doctor today and Rachel had her first ultrasound. The nurse said that the baby was very cooperative. The most cooperative she’s had all day in fact. Everything looked good. The baby was moving quite a bit and we saw it’s heart beating and we saw it’s little toes and rib cage and face. The only thing we did not see was a penis. So I’m no doctor, but I think that means we’re having a little girl.

WoooHooooo. Daddy’s little girl will be here in less than 5 months.

Winter Wedding – Tia and Mark

Friday, January 1st, 2010

We shot Mark Rademaker and Tia Meyer’s wedding a few weeks ago on Dec. 11 and then we went out and did a special session on the following day with just Mark and Tia (see the last 4 images). It was quite the chilly day, but Mark and Tia were both real troopers. Tia was even up for some of our “Trash the Dress” ideas. We had her lying on the ground and sitting on railroad tracks. It was really fun and we got some . . . dare I say . . . “sassy” shots (inside joke).

Here are some of our favorite images from their wedding.

Thanks again Mark and Tia for allowing us to be a part of your special day!
