rain won’t stop me, but snow will…

January 14, 2011

I’m what you would call a fair weather photographer!   I love the rainy days of spring and the overcast days of fall, but I hunker down inside the studio come winter.   

I have been keeping busy with indoor sessions and the photography class I’m putting together for the college, but cabin fever has me daydreaming of wildflowers and summer sunsets : )

Scott and Jessie – columbus nebraska (non-traditional) wedding photography

September 2, 2010

I’ve never been a big fan of wedding photography… it just seems so tradition and boring, but THIS wedding was different! 

“She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes…” – Grateful DeadLast weekend two very special people to me, tied the knot and became Mr. and Mrs. I could gush about Scott and Jessie all night; they are both so full of laughter and love!  It was so exciting to share in their day and even better to be able to capture it for them!
