Operation Love ReUnited

I am so proud to be blogging this!!! I have joined the Operation Love ReUnited team and will be offering military families a very special gift. If your family member is about to be deployed, is deployed, or will be returning soon, please let me know. I am the only photographer with 100 miles to offer this service through OpLove. Kinda cool, isn't it?

I am also offering a new HERO package.. which includes a pre-deployment family session, homecoming capture, a 5x7 album of both sessions, and half off a 20x30 image of your choice. The HERO package is complimentary because of this great program.

If your family member is deployed currently, you are eligible for the Red, White, and Blue Package which includes a complimentary session and a copy of the proofs from the session sent overseas (or wherever your loved one is located) at no charge at all.

If you have questions, give me a call.

Happy Birthday!

Today is a very special day at our house. It's my brother Josh's birthday, my son Austin's birthday, and my Grandpa's birthday. Isn't that cool, 3 generations on one day?!

Here is a picture I took of Austin.. He's a whole 10 years old today!

The Herr Family

Meet Mason, Jaden and Katelyn!

I work with their mom at the hospital and we've been trying to have this shoot for a few weeks now, but something always came up, most of the time it was weather related! Today it was far cooler than the weather forcast said earlier in the week, but the kids and Cara and even their dog Chloe were troopers and we did the shoot at Edmundson Park. The lighting was beautiful and I was thankful to have enough shadowing to do some black and whites!




Here's Mason


Here's Katelyn..




Here's Jaden





HA! a fun one! way to go Katelyn taking a sucker punch :)

Wedding package titles

I'm starting to add weddings to the list of kinds of photography I do, but I need some help from my blog viewers. I've decided to name the packages after 90's-2000's song titles. I need 3 titles, so vote on what you'd choose if you were me..

Have fun, my husband and I had some fun deciding what to include and of course not to include in the list LOL LOL LOL!

Amber and Jason

This is Amber and Jason, I shot this wedding with Erik with Inspired Images, he has a link on the right hand side of the blog in my favorite blogs, so go check him out. I shot some getting ready images of Amber at her request, she was such a beautiful bride, I loved her gown and sash, they were perfect for a fall wedding, although it felt like early January outside. When the bride was getting ready, the bride's mom received a package, inside was a note that said, 3 daughters, 3 weddings, 3 diamonds, and it had a diamond necklace inside. The MOB was really touched and instantly in tears, it was a great moment one of the best surprises I've seen at a wedding this year for sure!
Here are some pictures of their day. Have a great time on your honeymoon Amber and Jason, it was a pleasure working with you.

Corey

It was soooooo cold today when I was taking Corey's senior pictures. You wouldn't think 40 degrees with a breeze would be frigid, but it is.. trust me! My camera was acting up a little bit because it was super cold out, so I had to take it back to the car to warm up a few times.

Corey had 4 friends Josh Curry, Nick Mauer, Zach Greenhalgh, and Billy Moore to take some pictures with him and they were fresh from the car wash.. yes, the car wash!! Corey's car was a little bit wet still, to his mom's dismay but Corey didn't have a Shammy to dry it with, so we went with it. Hopefully his doors don't freeze shut tonight! The highlight of the car series is when 2 of Corey's friends decided to do burnouts. I have a highlight picture that was requested of the yellow Mustang.


The maroon car was pretty cool doing a burnout too.


We also did the "mirror shot" with the outside mirror and Corey.

Thanks Corey and all of your friends for being sports with the cold weather.. Also for taking the girly business cards, since that's all I had left to give 'ya.. Good luck with the clutches and tires for your cars too!

Okay, here's one last sneak peek, I'm ordering Corey's proofs tomorrow. I have several favorite images. I can't wait to show them to you guys!

Happy Birthday Grace

November 3rd is my daughter Grace's birthday. She is 6 years old, the same age as her brother for a little over a month since they're 10 months apart in age. He figured this out yesterday and said "she can't be 6 like me, she's boring!"
