Great weekend and week!

It has been a week since I posted anything. We were very busy this weekend with the Fall Jamboree, Mike & Niki's wedding, a baby shower and a couple meetings. First I just wanted to let everyone know that the photos from the Fall Jamboree are online. I will be adding the link to my online proof's page tomorrow, but for now here is the link:

On another note here are some cool things we've been doing lately:




A photo of Isaac and I that Catherine took


My friend Catherine worked with us at the Fall Jamboree



A photo of a 20x30" & 8x10" family portrait that we framed and hung for the family at their house. Doesn't the large print not look so large in the big room.


This is a new album we offer! This one in particular holds 4x6's, but there are some for wallets, 5x7's and 8x10's. This is a "flushmount" type album for a reasonable cost.

Lauren & Seth's Photos are online!

In the article I linked to below the author Sabrina Beasley comments:
"When I saw moments of my wedding day captured on paper, suddenly I was there again. I could smell the cool September breeze. I remembered how the sun felt warm on my bundled hair, and the softness of the veil hanging down around my ears. I reminisced the tender thoughts I had about David—how happy I was to marry him. I remembered wondering what he was thinking as I looked into those bright blue eyes, not able to imagine that I would be waking up to that face the next morning. It was like living the day all over again."

What she said captures what Isaac and I try to do when we photograph your wedding. We want you to be able to feel the emotions you had on your wedding day even 50 years down the road.




I just wanted to let you all know that Lauren and Seth's photos are available to view online now! I am hoping to get Dustin & April's up by tomorrow evening.

We hope to see you out this weekend at either Nicole & Mike's wedding or at the Fall Jamboree. Stop by and say hi!

I read an article on a website today about family photos albums. It made me realize I have to get out all those boxes of photos from the past couple years and create albums. These photos deserve to be shared with family and friends. This article highlights a good reason to have great wedding photography! It is something you will look back through when you have children and grandchildren.

New house-Crazy week

Hello! This week has been completly hectic. First off I was out shooting all week with Oswego Health. I have posted some photos that I shot this week below. Second Isaac and I bought our first house, well we haven't closed yet, but we're getting there. Although we have to give up our amazing house we currently live in, we are so excited to finally be homeowners. There is a 3 car garage that we are going to turn into a studio. In a few years we hope to have a nice English garden going where we can take portraits. We have the professional inspection today, so hopefully everything is good to go! Here is a photo of the outside of the house:




It is a 4 bedroom 1.5 bath house. It is on the corner of W 5th and Niagara, right across from Kingsford Elementary School. Good thing Isaac is great at landscaping because we need some serious curb appeal. We are going to buy a video camera so once we close we can show everyone around the house. Wish us luck with the inspection!

Photos from the Oswego Health Shoot will be posted shortly.

Dustin & April

Today Isaac and I had the privilege to photograph Dustin & April Geer's wedding. We had a great time getting to know both families. It was nice to see all our old friends there as well.

Dustin & April tied the knot at St. Josephs in Oswego. The bridal party hopped in classic cars and drove over to Breitbeck park where we had a quick but relaxing photo shoot. It was a gorgeous day, the sun was out and there was a little breeze. The party then moved onto the reception which was held at The American Foundry. Isaac and I had our reception at the Foundry. Whenever we get a chance to go back and photograph a wedding there we always think back to our wedding day. It will take 10-14 days to post their photos online, but tomorrow I will post some photos of their wedding on this Blog. Have a great night
