First Wedding

I am very excited and nervous today.  I am shooting my first wedding.  I am very confident I will capture lasting memories for the bride and groom.  I will post some pictures in the next couple days.

Briana-Senior Session

I had the joy of taking Briana's senior pictures.  She and I work together at TJ Maxx and she had been waiting for winter to take her senior pictures.  It was pretty cold but she braved it very well.  We are hoping to maybe get another session in so we can get some more snow shots.  Here is a small preview of her session.

Nicole and Chris-Engagement

I only have two pictures done so far, and they are the same one, but I couldn't decide which version I like best.  I am still working on the others and will do another post when I have more done.  I must say that Nicole and Chris braved the North Dakota cold for some really great shots.

Waiting for a Chance

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but things got crazy around here with my part time job since Black Friday.  Let me tell you never wish to work retail during that time.

So I have been contact a few times about photographing a wedding.  I have given them information, quoted a price and now I am just waiting.  Since I have never photographed a wedding officially(just as a guest) I am hoping someone gives me my first chance so I can establish myself as a wedding photographer as well.

Here are a few pictures I have taken as a guest at weddings:

Senior Pictures

Senior pictures is always like a right of passage for high school seniors.  It always a great way to capture a special turning point in a young persons life.  I love how you can do anything you want in a senior picture.  Its all about the senior and what they want to reflect in their pictures, their likes, hobbies, things that mean a lot to them.  I have done one senior session and hope to do more.  Here are some pictures from that session.

Cake Smash

I had the pleasure to do my first Cake Smash Monday morning.  For those of you don't know, Cake Smash sessions are generally for babies turning one.  The idea is to give them a cake(usually loaded with icing) and let them go at it while you take pictures.  It's just a fun way of capturing them diving into a cake and a great way for you to have memories of their first birthday.  The little girl I photographed was such a cutie and even though she didn't make a huge mess I was able to capture some great photos.

Newborn

I have had a busy week but was able to bookend my week with newborn pictures.  I had the privilege of going to the hospital the day after this cutie was born to take some pictures(the first three) and then I was able to go to their home yesterday and take a few more(the last four).  I have been taking pictures for this family for almost a year now.  I love being able to watch a family grow and cannot wait to watch their newest addition grow and be there to capture all the precious moments.
