Cole's Two!

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 22:35:29 -0600

Our son Cole will be turning two in November. It is hard to believe how fast the time has gone. I remember long ago when my parents told me this would happen, but I didn't believe them. Now I understand. Time goes too fast and we can never rewind time. All we have are our memories. They are the most valuable things in the world. TAKE PICTURES! They will help the mind relive the most important times. Grab a digital, a film, or a one-time use camera...whatever it takes. Just take pictures. Keep those moments forever. Happy Birthday Cole!

Taunie and Toby

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 22:32:14 -0600

A couple weeks ago Ashley and I had the great pleasure to photograph Taunie and Toby's wedding at the Botanical Center in Des Moines. These two had a great wedding party and they were a ton of fun. We were pushing them to take some fun shots and they responded great. The guys were some of the best I've worked with. Congratulations Taunie and Toby!

Nikki and Mark

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 22:29:12 -0600

Nikki and Mark will be getting married next year. We wanted to get the engagement shoot in before the new year. Mother nature wasn't up for it. With winds gusting over 40 mph we had to move inside. Although I still pressed them to do some shots out in the weather, they were great through out the entire shoot!

Fun at the Playground

Last Friday Brian and I photographed a wedding at Jester Park on Saylorville Lake. The location was beautiful but unfortunately the weather was not. The rain put a little damper on outdoor photos but we made the best of it and were still able to get some great photos. Below are a few of our favorites. Congratulations Emily and Bob!

Olivia

Olivia is a 2009 senior. We got outside and the color outdoors was great. It's the time of year where you can really find some bright oranges, yellows, and reds. We got some great shots and below are a few of our favorites. Congratulations Olivia!

Kristen and Ben

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 21:02:38 -0600

On Saturday Ashley and I got to travel to Grinnell to photograph Kristen and Ben's wedding. We were anxiously anticipating this wedding. We knew we were going to be able to take some shots at a local pumpkin farm. However, the pumpkin farm was booming, as should be expected this time of the year. So we took some fun shots right near the farm. Below are a few of our favorites. Congratulations Kristen and Ben!

Cole and Gavin

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 20:58:53 -0600

Ashley and I actually got the chance the take some pictures of our two sons in the studio the other day. Cole and Gavin are no strangers to the camera. We have a couple of wild animals and Ashley is certainly the zoo keeper.

Kaite

Wed, 22 Oct 2008 20:12:00 -0600

Katie is a senior at Clarke of Osceola. Katie was extremely laid back and easy going. She was great in front of the camera. We had a good time and hit some great locations. Here are a few of our favorites. Congratulations Katie!

Carrie and Ryan Part 2

Wed, 22 Oct 2008 20:08:25 -0600

We split Carrie and Ryan's engagement shoot into two separate shoots so they could get some summer and fall shots. Just like the first time around these two are a lot of fun. They really bring out the best in each other. We had a great time again. Congratulations Carrie and Ryan!

Ranae and Caleb

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 10:02:33 -0600

On September 27, Brian and I photographed Ranae and Caleb's wedding at the Botanical Center in Des Moines. Brian doesn't get a lot of opportunities to photograph weddings with us, but he does a great job when he gets the chance. Both Ranae and Caleb were great with taking pictures. We had a great time because they were willing to keep snapping away. Below are a few of our favorites, most of which Brian took! Congratulations Ranae and Caleb!

Kayla

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 09:57:32 -0600

On Friday, Ashley and I had the opportunity to photograph senior photos for Kayla. She is a senior at North High School this year. It was a little cool out, but Kayla was a great sport and we had a good time. Below are a few of our favorites. Congratulations Kayla!
