Bling, bling

We've been shooting some product photography for Diamonds & Diamonds jewelry store.  Guess what they specialize in?  :)  

Is it getting cold in here, 'cause that is a lot of ice!

Summer Fun

Even though it is hot outside, you can still have fun celebrating the season inside!!

Someone has a little attitude...

She reminds me of those '50s bathing beauties....

Little Miss Sassy Pants....

A Family's Reunion

Three generations came together for the first time since the newest addition, Vivian, was born.  The families are scattered to three different cities, on two different continents, and we were there to capture their happy reunion.

Gavin and Elliot hang out with a very proud Grandpa...

Gavin recently turned six years old and is such a cutie...

The whole crew...

Bryan and Londonne's gang...

It was an honor to witness a family history and hang with you guys for the morning!  

Don't Forget the Furrier Family Members

Back in April, we made a trip out to Susan & Brent's farm.  The whole place was SO charming!!  

A beautiful couple...

We managed to get the whole family together....including the three dogs and the cat!!

We couldn't forget the ponies!

I love the old wooden fence!
Thanks, guys!  We'd love to come back and photograph in the fall!!

Nicole & Wade, part deux

Continuing the fun of our session with lovebirds, Nicole & Wade....

A slight detour led us to this lovely waterfall and we're glad it did.

Another unscripted stop yielded some nice photos (and Wade got some quality time with the statues) all because they totally trusted us...Love it!!

This shot was Nicole's idea and it turned out great (after we found a spot that didn't blind them).

We hadn't planned on this particular setting, but I fell in love with the hip shirts they were wearing and I thought a gritty urban locale would make a great backdrop.  Thankfully, this couple was up for the challenge and we got some great stuff there.

Still smiling...

Last stop: the LOVE train...Whoo, whoo!!  

Thanks, N & W...you were a blast!  We can't wait for the wedding!!

Nic & Wade's Guest Book

This is the slideshow of Nicole & Wade's guest book, with their favorite photos from their engagement session. It turned out beautifully!

Summertime Romance

Sometimes, I can't believe we get paid to just hang out with cool people.  

I'm going to be really honest right now...I love what we do, but I was not looking forward to our shoot last Saturday because I knew it was going be ridiculously hot outside.  I was worried that our engaged couple would tire quickly in the summer sun, which is not conducive to quality shots--it is hard to look happily in love when your face is melting off.

My fears were quickly put to rest when we started our session.  Nicole & Wade, who will marry in September, had brought their game faces and were ready for anything.  This young, fun-loving couple made the afternoon fly by and frankly, we were sad to leave.  Since they were willing to follow our crazy whims, including several last-minute stops, we ended up shooting at 7 different locations!  We wanted a lot of variety since we will be creating a custom photo guest book for their wedding.  I haven't gotten through all of the pictures yet, so rest assured there will be more samples coming, but here are a few to get you started...

All aboard for romance!

We love red!

I call this one, "Love, Close Up With a Wide-Angle Lens"...

Stay tuned for more Nicole & Wade...
