Double post! No extra charge.
Below we have Isaac, a 3 month old cutie with eyes that would melt the iciest heart, and a faux-hawk that even made me a little jealous. We spent half of the time in the studio, and spend the 2nd half of our time together out of doors enjoying the beautiful light only morning clouds can produce.
Here’s Mason! He’s been in my studio two times prior, so we decided to go on location for his 8 month photos. I love love love that last image. Mason the Bubble Destroyer!
Chalk that last one up to a little bit of providence. =)September 2, 2010 – 10:05 pm
How did you even get that last shot? Beautiful photos!September 2, 2010 – 6:48 pm
The last one seems absolutely impossible. I LOVE the one in the basket. Good call

What a wonderful month August was! We finally got a few days of relief from the heat and the rain, which made trouncing around (you didn’t know I trounced, did you?) in the woods much more agreeable. With these images I really tried to convey the overall feeling of the transition into the soon-to-be-here autumn. Leaves not as pristine as they once were, creek banks still green but with subtle signs that they’re struggling to keep that color. All speaking to the fact that the days are going to be shorter and colder – and I say bring it on. I can’t wait to put a sweatshirt on.
Factoid: The white orb in the diptych near the bottom is actually the sun, shot with my macro lens at it’s shallowest depth of field. Crazy.

Lucas wanted to do his senior photos at his high school, which was a great idea! I've never shot at this particular school, so it was a great opportunity to find some new textures and colors. Shelby and Diamond (his two dogs) also accompanied us as we walked around the exterior, but I'm fairly sure they were not overly interested in photo taking.
Lucas is one of my senior reps, so make sure to get a referral card from him and bring it in for $20 off a senior session.

I shot Kristi and Ben’s wedding down in Atlanta AGES ago back in early 2007, and since then we’ve become great friends! Last November I was running a special to raise money for Blood:Water Mission by offering $50 shoots with all proceeds going directly to the organization. Kristi and Ben were living in Japan at the time, but wanted to donate anyway with the idea that if they were ever back in the area I would get them in front of my camera. Better than just coming for a visit, these two decided to MOVE back to Dubuque! Yay!
These were shot down in the beautiful Mines of Spain. The natural light was just too beautiful to pass up, so we made good use of it, but I’ve included some lit ones below.

My ears certainly perked when Peyton told me she had procured a baby-grand piano at a local college for her senior photos. I'd never shot portraits of anyone w/ a piano before, and I immediately saw in my mind's eye the black and white below of her playing. After leaving the small hall, we went outside on the grounds for a few more, praying that the dramatic sky would not produce a dramatic reschedule. The rain held off and eventually we made our way out to the fringe of town to capture the gorgeous sunset and a few on a road that has a special place in her heart.
Peyton is one of my 2011 Senior Reps – find her to get a card worth $20 off any senior portrait package. Or just find her to tell her that she rocked these photos.
