You Capture~Black and White

We spent last week down in Kansas Ok visiting my sweet little niece Eliana Rae.  She will turn five months this coming Sunday.  She got her very first tooth while we were there and also took her first ride down the Illinois River.  We had a great time! The boys got to swim in the Illinois River and go Cliff Diving, more like and eight foot ledge but it worked! More photos to come!

So Sweet!

You Capture~Life

I had a lot of fun with this week's assignment. We had five band/jazz band concerts in two weeks for the teenager, one chorus/orchestra concert for the lil' one, a middle school jazz band school tour, and I snuck in a newborn photo shoot :) It was a very productive week for my camera :-)

This was the best shot I got.  Couldn't get him to turn around.

A Great Day for a Wedding

I got a message a couple of months ago from a friend who asked if I would be interested in shooting a wedding for a friend of hers. I pondered the thought for a few days and asked for advice from friends. I had never shot a wedding before so I did not feel I was qualified at all. I initially thought there was no way I could do it, I am not good enough to capture those precious moments. I gave it about a week and after some thought and prayer and encouragement from friends I decided to go ahead with it all the while making sure the bride knew right away that this would be my first wedding. I emailed and facebooked the bride back and forth for a couple of weeks.


I arrived a beautiful sunny day in March at the chosen location, a beautiful park on the edge of the city i live in. It was an unusually warm day for March but the wind kept it cool. Boy was it ever windy that day! The bride arrived on site and I introduced myself, as we had not met face to face until that day. I took a few shots of her in her dress in various poses as we waited for the groom, and waited, and waited. We called and did not get an answer,and I shot a couple shots of her making that phone call. The groom appeared about 30 minutes late due to being stuck at the railroad crossing.


We had a bride, we had our groom, we were ready! The wedding went along like all weddings do. Afterwards I shot the usual wedding shots. Here are a few of the photos I took that day.
