Heather and Ryan are Married

We have been waiting a while for Heather and Ryan's wedding, they booked us over a year ago. We knew we were going to have a great time at the wedding when they told us Michael from GTV Wedding Films was the videographer, we love working with the talented Michael! We also had the pleasure of photographing the artwork of Artistry florist. Before the reception we went to New Town for some fun photos with the whole wedding party and then it was off to Big Muddy bar and grill.
The reception was held at the very unique Foundry Art Center, where everyone rocked the night away to the sounds of the famous Dr Zhivegas! All in all it was an amazing wedding!!

Lindsey Jumps!

Yes, you read that right! Lindsey contacted me a few days after the wedding and asked if we would be willing to take pics of her jumping into the pool! The truth is that it was our idea, we tried to get her to jump on the wedding day after the reception was over, but that didn't go over. I am SO glad that she called the next day. We had a blast and I am pretty sure Lindsey did too!

Jessica and Todd are Engaged

We are looking forward to Jessica and Todd's wedding next month! Another wedding where we will see some past clients! They are a fun couple and we are sure that we will have a great time at the wedding!

Lindsey and Mark are married!

We had a great time at Lindsey and Marks wedding. We love going to wedding where we know a bunch of the guests. A lot of our past couples were at Lindsey and Mark's wedding, couples who we consider friends. The other very cool think is that the wedding and reception were held at the estate of another past client!

Kali and Patrick are married!

Kali and Patrick were married last month. What a fun couple to photograph along with their whole wedding party! They were all up for just about anything and really had fun with the in between stuff! A big shout goes out to Jeffery's Flowers for the awesome job on all the bouquets!

Emily - Senior 2010

We have had a lot of seniors calling us this year. We love photographing the seniors, They are always so fun and willing to try just about anything. We are not your typical senior photographer, and we love when our seniors bring us new ideas!! This is Emily, class of 2010, photographed at our secret location.

The Dell Children

I am so far behind on blogging, I am going to attempt to get caught up today. We have been very busy at the studio, and it looks like things are not going to slow down for a while. First up is the Dell children. Always a fun shoot when we get them together!

Cole and Ava

Coby met Ava and Cole out at Lewis and Clark College for some relaxed portraits of these two adorable siblings! We have been watching these two grow over the past couple of years. Ava has been coming to us since she was just a little baby and we were also there as she became a big sister to Cole. And yes, we also photographed mom and dad's wedding. One of the biggest rewards of being a photographer is connecting with our wedding couples and then connecting with their children!

Here are just a few faves from these cuties:

The Mack Family

We absolutely love the Mack family! Kayla has become such a friend and we were excited that she wanted us to photograph the whole family. Kayla carefully planned out the location to get that perfect look at sunset, and we were more than happy to go right along with her ideas!
