Sierra and Justin

This photo shoot really shows what we are all about on an engagement session. We want to get you that one photo that you can show everybody and be proud of, we want to give you several images that you can post to Facebook, and we want to give you MANY images that you can remember how great of a time we had on the shoot and how great of a time the two of you had together. Sierra and Justin were awesome on their engagement session. We spent a lot of time downtown. I shot photos that they will be proud to print and I shot some photos, like #1 below, that you wouldn't print but really helped to tell the story of them. It gives them a great perspective on themselves and their relationship. I hope they had as much fun as I did....oh, and they are Hawkeye fans so...they are pretty awesome in my book.

Hattie

Ashley photographed Hattie at Water Works Park in July. It looks like she had a good time. We use very little flash. Every once and a while we will drag our Alienbees out to do a photo shoot, but it is rare. Natural light is so much better for photos. I can spot a photo using flash from a mile away and they never look real good. Let the sun shine and we will work right through it. Using it to our advantage.

Evalyn

Ashley photographed Evalyn at Water Works Park last month. Evalyn really liked her bubbles. This is an age where as a photographer you have to let them be themselves and just chase and shoot. It sounds crazy. But it's a lot more fun then you'd think. Two year olds are probably my favorite age to shoot just because of the challenge they present. You have to work with them and within their rules. If you are patient they will warm up and give you the exact shots you are looking for. For us that means we get shots of them acting like themselves in whatever environment we are in. Ashley and I are very lucky to get to work with all of you.

Mason

A couple days ago I posted about our journey from photographing someone's wedding to photographing their kids. Such an amazing experience. This is another case of that. Mason is the son of Nick and Tera who's wedding we photographed. Mason did not appear too happy to be having his photo taken. You just have to give them time. They will warm up, get used to their surroundings, and smile. Ashley shot these at Water Works Park back in May.
