Our Nursery | PERSONAL

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you guys won’t mind a special personal post without any portraits. As of today we have officially finished our little guy’s nursery!! It was quite a process, but Ashlee and I are both really proud of what we accomplished. Two months ago this room was orange with a tan ceiling,...

Rob+Erin | WEDDING

Q: Where do two bibliophiles get their wedding pictures done? A: See below. Robbie and Erin make me feel kinda old. I remember when they were both really (really) little, although I suppose I wasn’t so large myself back then. I’ve known them both through church and Emmaus for around fifteen years, and it was...

Dustin + Michelle | ENGAGEMENT

This summer in Iowa we’ve been blanketed with unbearable heat, as well as dumped on with more rain than I can ever remember. Both of those factors plagued us when trying to schedule Dustin and Michelle’s engagements. As I was cleaning the water out of my basement I was thinking of how much I would...

Guess The Name, Name Your Price! | CONTEST

This is a fun one. In case you didn’t know, Ashlee and I are having a baby BOY!! His due date is September 2nd, but he could be here anytime. For mainly practical reasons, we’ve decided to keep his name (which was only recently decided) a secret. Secrets are fine and all, but I think...

Susanna MacLeod - August 16, 2011 - 1:36 am

Final thought… Charles.

Susanna MacLeod - August 16, 2011 - 1:28 am

My first guess was Levi… I don’t know why… then I thought something more like Isaac… but I think you should go with Noah or George or Samuel or Graeme Jr. just because your name is spelled really cool, and I think that should be duplicated.

I’m a big fan of Noah!!!

Christopher!

Amelia Thompson - August 13, 2011 - 2:59 pm

Aaron Riley, Riley Aaron, Tyler Riley, Riley Tyler, and I also think Clive Riley.

Robin Vaughn - August 13, 2011 - 12:05 am

I’m still laughing from the list above… :D My guess won’t be quite as entertaining. Hummm, my guess would be something classic with a somewhat vintage feel. I’m going to go with: Henry. Yeah– I like it. Henry Pitman. :)

Ryan Day Thompson - August 12, 2011 - 7:51 pm

Ummm….

1) Clive Riley

Or,

2) August Wendell

Or you could just do us the honor and name him Riley Tyler Justin Aaron Ryan.

Cassie - August 12, 2011 - 7:18 pm

Ruth Pitman - August 12, 2011 - 6:24 pm

Alistair

Nathan Weber - August 12, 2011 - 5:45 pm

Im going to go a little bit more out there. Im guessing you are going with a christain name from the bible. Something meaningful. SOOOOO My first guess “Ezekiel” (Hebrew) – Ezekiel 1:3 – the strength of God.

My second guess is Caleb which is also Hebrew and from the bible. just not as meaningful.

Congrats again!

Iain Pitman - August 12, 2011 - 5:37 pm

i strongly believe his name will be jonas gustavsson pitman.

Chelsea | Class of 2012

I had a wonderful time hanging out with Chelsea and her mom last week! We were able to do the majority of her senior portraits inside of a warehouse downtown, which gave them quite a unique look. Here’s just a few favorites from the session. Enjoy!
