CloseDo I sound like a proud papa or what? Yeah Zoe is exactly 3 months old today so of course we took some 3-month pictures. It’s amazing how much she’s changed in just a short time.
Most of the time, Rachel and I both just stare at her and can hardly believe how beautiful she is (good thing she got her mama’s looks eh?)
Here’s just a few from my little lady’s session.
Maddy and Brock got married on July 31, and Rachel and I were there to share in the joy (not to mention the heat and humidity). Seriously, I think this was one of the hottest, most humid weddings we’ve EVER photographed, but boy did we have a good time (did I mention that it was HOT!!). The wedding was so unique. All of the guys had muscle cars that they brought to the wedding and then each couple drove off in one after the wedding. We even blocked off the street for 30 minutes or so to do some shots with all the muscle cars.
Here’s a little sneak peek from Maddy and Brock’s wedding day.
My cousin, Kevin and his wife JoAnna are in this weekend from Oklahoma and we did quick photo shoot with them and their 16-month old, Melanie this morning.
Below are a few favorites from their session. (I hope the first picture in this sequence isn’t foretelling my son’s future attempts to pick up the ladies).
And here are a few more of the the Burlison’s
Don Perry came over for his senior session this morning. Don’s an avid hockey fan and a devoted player. So it’s no surprise that over half of his images incorporated hockey into them.
Here’s some favorites from Don’s session today.
Scarlett Patterson is a senior at Notre Dame High School. We shot her senior session yesterday and since she’s a dancer, I had envisioned this shot of her that looked like she was dancing on air. Here’s what we came up with.
We shot Bailey’s senior session this morning and despite the heat, we really had an awesome session. Lots of locations, lots of outfits, lots of killer shots. I must say, Bailey is a great sport (as is her mother). We even did a little trash the prom dress. Shelly, thanks so much for walking barefoot in the creek and holding my lights and stuff. You’re awesome. Bailey, you rock too!
Here are 2 of my favorites from the session this morning (P.S. Bailey’s grandfather built that cross – pretty awesome, huh?)
I had an absolute blast shooting David Watts’ senior session this morning. More shots from this session to follow on a later date, but for now, here’s my favorite from the day.
Mallory Wilson and Ryan Gibson got married on May 29 and let me say I just loved everything about this wedding. From the Victorian style to the 57 Chevy to the super fun wedding party (especially the guys – Ryan your groomsmen were a hoot!)
Anyway, sorry it’s taken me so long to get this sneak peek online (it’s been a little busy around here). In fact, we brought our daughter home from the hospital on Friday and then shot Mallory and Ryan’s wedding on the following day (so to say that it was an eventful week would be a massive understatement!). My wife, Rachel usually comes with me on weddings, but since she had a baby 3 days prior, I let her off the hook on this one 
so instead, my mother-in-law, Charlyn came along to help me out and even 2nd shoot a bit (Thanks Char!)
We’ve already started shooting 2011 seniors and let me tell you, it’s gonna be a GREAT season. We have lots of seniors on the calendar already but it’s never too early to call and schedule. Even if you want to shoot in the fall, it’s not a bad idea to get it on the books now so you get the spot you want (last year, we were turning seniors away because our schedule was sooo full). So if you know any 2011 seniors, tell them to call and book their senior pictures.
This is Aaron Delph from Jackson High School. His mom warned me ahead of time that he wasn’t too stoked about the idea of getting senior pictures done (as is the case with most boys), but let me tell you . . . we had a great time and got some pretty awesome images too (plus I think Aaron had a pretty darn good time too).
Here are a few favorites from Aaron’s session this morning.
I shot Holly Balsman and Nathan Moran’s wedding on May 22nd. They got married at Hermann Hill winery in Hermann, MO and it was a beautiful venue. I must say, we were all a little nervous because this wedding was on May 22 and Rachel’s due date was May 19th (and she hadn’t had the baby yet by wedding day) . . . so I was nervous and Holly was nervous and Nathan was nervous and my wife was nervous. I told Rachel when I left the house that she had to sit with her legs crossed all day and that Zoe was forbidden from entering the world on this date. Luckily for all, she waited a few more days and I got to be a part of Holly and Nathan’s beautiful day. I felt so honored.
For those of you wondering, I did have backup. Kris Gay with Bella Vita Studios in Fort Wayne, IN came up to help me shoot and she was going to be my backup in case I had to leave. Luckily, I didn’t and we got to shoot the whole wedding together. (Thanks Kris)
Finally, before I post the sneak peek images, I have to give a shout out to the videographer. He was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! His name is Michael Gebben with Gebbs Wedding Films and not only is he amazingly talented, he is a super nice guy and was a pleasure to work with all day long. If you have a chance to check out Holly and Nathan’s 5 minute video, you should do it. You will be BLOWN AWAY! Not only is the video incredible, Michael produced it on the DAY OF THE WEDDING and showed it at their reception. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house. You can check out their video here (it’s less than 5 minutes and totally worth your time) – http://vimeo.com/12011064
