Cassie came for senior photos.... and... a head shot for her 'Galaxy of the Stars' involvement. How cool is THAT? Here she is making this bus stop shine!
While she was here, Mike & Brenda from A+ Media were hanging out to grab some footage for an award I'm receiving next month (how excited am I!!??). Thanks for being such a willing participant Cassie!
Shine on super star! :)
Like most peeps, Kayla wasn't exactly sure what to expect when showing up for her senior shoot. But have no fear! It's never as scary or intimidating as people think.... in fact, it's down right fun! See for yourself!
Fierce!
Great stuff Kayla! Kudos to you for rockin' it so well!
I can't wait to catch up with Allison... she just got back from China where she was interning at the Olympics... how awesome is THAT? Matt must've watched proudly knowing his little lady was helping to do great things over there.... so cool!
We got together a few weeks ago for a love shoot that brought us out to James Arthur Vineyards, where I had never been. I am really looking forward to taking some time to check out all the great things they have to offer with Emir sometime this fall.... what a great place. :)
"Lover's View...." How apropos!
I LOVE this!
Allison had the cutest shoes!
Gorgeous, gorgeous....
and more gorgeous!
Enjoy you two! I'm looking forward to your 4th of July wedding! Whoo hoo!
We laughed a lot on our shoot.... what a hot... sticky day.... but Stephanie rocked it anyway!
We got really inventive with locations....
Thanks Stephanie. Enjoy your fab photos!
I LOVE Kayla's photos! Check out this hat we found... it's a perfect fit with her outfit! I think she thought I was nuts when I suggested this.... but... I'm glad she went along.... it looks GREAT!
Sometimes windy 'hair in your face' shots are among my surprise favorites....
Can you believe those eyes?
Color pop!
You brought it Kayla! :) Nice job!
Adam just started his senior year at my dear ol' alma mater, where he keeps busy in show choir and a number of other activities. Go Adam!
Too bad skateboarding isn't a sanctioned high school sport, eh?
Adam treated the neighbors to a stellar performance on his trap set....
Your photos are kickin' Adam! Great job!
Is it just me, or is Chelsea cute as a button? Her shoot took place on a gorgeous morning a few weeks ago... here are some of my faves!
Such a dancer!
Smoldering!
Rad Chelsea! Enjoy and have a great school year!
Check out these two cool cats who recently stopped over for a love shoot... I LOVE this shot... they did a great job of just relaxing in front of the lens and enjoying some quality time together (never mind the camera in their face! :)
They indulged my obsession with old gas pumps/gas stations.... and look how rad-tastic it turned out!
Jared asked if we could shoot with his new Harley.... I was like, "Of COURSE!" He was having such a blast!
A pair of biker babes!
Jared used to be a fire fighter in Kearney... so we thought this vintage truck had special meaning. Bobbi & Jared made it look GOOD!
How cute is THIS?
Congratulations you two! Thank you for the opportunity to work with you.... If you even had HALF as much fun as I did... we are in good shape! :) Ha ha!
The wedding took place at a small country church along the side of a dirt road north of Waverly... I knew I was in for a treat when I pulled up. (Small, country churches are always so fun!)
Tracey's hair looked incredible.... a fountain of curls. Every bride's dream!
This is Lilly, the bride's 4 yr old niece. She was fascinated with everything and couldn't resist 'helping.' I love the look on her face here while she watches the girls lace Tracey up....
After everyone was dressed, we headed out to make some great photos.
When I was driving in, I couldn't help but notice the corn fields surrounding the church. How could we resist?
Tracey was such a good sport! While running through the fields we saw all kinds of critters.... a black widow spider, a fuzzy caterpillar, countless grass hoppers, and... something we thought was a snake, but turned out just to be some plant roots. She didn't flinch and her dress came through with no problems!
Here's Lilly again... she was pretty inseparable from Tracey. So cute! Here she's pouting because she wasn't allowed to play on the nearby playground.... I love it when kids show this side of themselves. It makes for photos that will speak volumes in 10-20 years when they're all grown up. Ha ha ha!
After the ceremony, the limo was late to pick up the wedding party. Tracey didn't let it get her down... instead, we took advantage of great light for more fun photo opps!
At the reception, the cake sat atop this gorgeous heirloom from the bride's grandmother. It's a tradition at all of their family weddings. I love the design of it.... and can't wait to utilize it in their album design!
Time to get the party started! The reception was at the PlaMor.... one of my favorite local venues (Emir and I had our reception there!).
Neil is in a 
The song he wrote for her was called, "Hurry Down and Kiss Me" (I think!). So catchy, I sang it the whole way home. Let me know when the album comes out Neil!
Tracey had a second pair of shoes she saved for the reception. Check out her bridal boots! If you're into western-style bridal goodies... check out the Sat'n Spurs website. Great stuff!
Thank you for including me in such a fun celebration. It was a real treat! :)
