My First Paid Gig!

Soo..I did my first paid gig..and my first wedding this past Saturday. What a stressful thing to do..but once I got in the groove of things..it all went pretty smooth. I took pictures at a lady's wedding that my mom has known for quite some time..she was also Leslie's Cosmetology teacher through OCC..so she's really became sort of a family friend. Below are some shots that I took at Deana and Jason Weber's wedding.

Their rings are absolutely beautiful! Very antique looking..just like Deana's house.

Isn't she such a beautiful bride?!

This is a great picture of the two outside.

Thanks to Deana and Jason for letting me share their special day with them! Also, thanks for the great first experience of photographing a wedding!

Pictures of Ruesch Cousins

I took pictures of Rachel, Philip, and Sarah a few weekends ago. They turned out really good. They are all so photogenic! It was so freezing cold that day..by the time we got finished at the 1st location..my hands were tingling from being so cold...brrrr I hate the cold weather!

Michael, Sarah, Rachel, Courtney, and Philip.

Mom thought it would be neat to have a picture of snow falling on them...yah..not so cute..but the shots after were good..with the snow on their heads and shoulders.

Lauren's Senior Pictures - Shoot 1

I took some of Lauren Gray's senior pictures this past Monday. They turned out really well. We don't have a huge collection of images because we did not have much time but we did get some really good shots. She's a senior at Newton. I plan to post more of her pictures as I get some time to do so. We are planning to take some more pictures this Sunday and then some more as the leaves change.

Cait's Senior Pictures

I went to Ray's Fruit Farm on Saturday with Mom, Sheila, and Caitlyn. I took my camera with the intent of taking really cool pictures of the apples on the trees and such. However, Cait looked super cute that day and we've been needing to get a start on her senior pictures..so we took a few shot...actually..we spent all day taking pictures! :) We had a blast tho!! We took some at the apple orchard, an old barn, the railroad tracks, and at Berryville Vinyards. I took over 350 pictures and ended up a TON of really good one's. I didn't want to overload the blog with pictures so I made a collage of some really good pictures and attached some, that are my favorite, as their original size.

At the Apple Orchard underneath an apple tree. I love this shot!! One of my favs!!

Caitlyn is very photogenic and the camera loved her...along with her loving the camera! :) We had a great day and I've already had a handful of seniors ask me about taking their senior pictures. I'm making business cards and creating flyers with recent pictures I've taken. AR Photography..here we come!!

Honeymoon Snap Shots

Rylan and I walked many evenings on the beach and I took my camera a few times. The tide came so high every evening that it ran over a small hill of sand and created it's own little river..it was so neat to walk in and watch the waves be big enough to make it over the little hill.

This little bird was not scared of anyone or anything. He was letting little children walk within 5 feet of him...and I just thought he made a really neat subject in my picture!

This is looking up from the very bottom of the lighthouse..inside of course. 203 stairs..the walls at the bottom are something like 8 feet thick of brick and at the top they are 2 feet thick..I don't remember how many bricks are in it..but I'm gonna guess a TON!

This was the moon over the ocean one evening after it rained.
