Keeping It Real..

Just the other day, I had a client ask me ”why their photo wasn’t on the blog?”  So you might be wondering why some photo shoots are highlighted and others aren’t.  The truth is, we just don’t have time to put every photo shoot we do on the blog.  So, when I do a posting, I usually just copy and paste a few random photos from my computer desktop.  When it comes to weddings, we try to post all of those, as it is easier to keep up with weddings.  Right now we are in the process of getting some of our studio tasks simplified to get more posts put up and faster!   Thanks for all your support as we continue to grow our business!

Meet Nate & Rachel Simenec.  They were married at Geneseo Evangelical Church in….none other than Geneseo.  After the wedding, everyone headed to Lavender Crest Winery for the Reception.  We love going out to Lavender Crest.  The scenery is awesome for backgrounds, and we always have great wine to take home.  Here is a look at their wedding photos.

June 20, 2009 – Stephen’s Wedding

It was very hot & humid out.  I tell people and I wonder if they believe me, but I lose about 10 pounds every summer just from humidity.  And this Saturday was no exception from the harsh Midwest weather!  Kelly & Brian Harry were married at St. Ambrose university.  From there we headed downtown for some great photo ops, then finished the evening at the Clarion.  Here is a look their photos!

June 6, 2009 – Jeff’s Wedding

Jeff Loder had the privelage of working with Aaron & Maria Rex, who had a lovely wedding ceremony at St. Peters Church in Bettendorf.  Also, one of Aarons family members was kind of enough to let Maria and him use his antique car for some photo ops.  It made for some really great portraits.

Kai Turns One

Little Kai finally turned one and Elaine had a fun time photographing this little guy.  Usually, one is our hardest stage to photograph babies because they get very “clingly” to mom, or they put their active legs to use and run all over the place.  Thankfully, Kai was all smiles.  See for yourself.

Family Fun at Giraffe

Meet the Meyer’s family.  After seeing their friends photos take at Giraffe, they knew where they wanted to go.  They wanted something different, capturing their candid side, our specialty.

May 30, 2009 – Stephen’s Wedding

Ryan & Kristi Lindsey were married at the Grace Lutheran Bible Camp in De Witt, Iowa.  It was hot, and there were lots of little gnats (I ate at least 146 of them), but that didn’t stop us from getting lots of great portraits.  Take a look for yourself.
