Last night Ashley and I shot photos at the Chelsey Faye event, Sunshine State of Mind.  The event was held at Kamodo Klub  in downtown Des Moines.  Chelsey's work is amazing.  We can't even start to put it in words.  You'll just have to see the photos for yourself.

Events like this can be really tough to shoot.  No light, tight space, and tons of people.  The key is arriving early, scouting locations, and taking tons of test shots before hand.  We got their early and scooped out the area.  Ashley found a spot near the end of the runway and I was positioned up on a staircase.  We took just under 2,000 photos, but after review cut it down to around a 800, best of the best.  Below are just a few of our favorites.  Great show, great night!

This Saturday, March 28th, a friend of ours, Chelsey Faye, will be putting on a fashion show at Kamodo club in downtown Des Moines.  Doors open at 7pm, show starts at 9pm.  Proceeds from the show go to Animal Rescue League of Iowa.  Tickets are $5 in advance and $10 day of the show.

All outfits are hand made by Chelsey Faye.  The event will also feature a bikini contest and Chelsey Faye artwork.

Ashley and I will be out at the show.  If you are looking for something to do this will definitely be a great event.  Be sure to stop us and say hi if you make the show.

We will be giving away 3 newborn photo shoots including all digital negatives on DVD. We will select winners based on how interesting and creative the baby name story is.  Winner's will be selected as the contest continues, due to the nature of the short window to complete the photo shoot.  Babies must be photographed before they are 2 weeks old. Photo shoots can take place in studio or in your home.

Select photos from each winner and the baby name story will be posted to our blog.

Most of the people we work with meet our two boys at some point.  Gavin is coming up on being one year old.  Time has flown by for us and we sometimes forget where all the time has gone.  This past week Ashley and I took the boys out to photograph some photos of Gavin at one year and with his older brother Cole.  Below are a few of our favorites.

This Saturday Ashley and I photographed an engagement shoot with Sheri and Ryan.  These two will be getting married this September.  We tried and tried to get out and shoot some shots with a wintry background but the weather was either too harsh or too nice...the snow would melt much too quick.  We got out this weekend and took some shots both at the Botanical Center and downtown.  Below are a few of our favorites.
