Kansas State Fair time

Kansans have survived one of the hottest summers on record, and are looking toward having a lot of fun at the "Party on the Prairie", also know as the State Fair, Sept. 9-18 in Hutchinson.

As the official horse show photographer for the Ks. State Fair for the past 11 years, I have a lot of experience with life on the fairgrounds. Pronto pups. Giant drumsticks. Huge corn on the cob. Been there, ate that!

I have to say that my favorite part of the fair is simply watching people. It's awesome to see spectators get engrossed in watching the draft horse pull, or the mule show obstacle/trail course, or the miniature driving class, or, well-you get the idea.

If you plan on attending the State Fair party this year, stop by the horse show arena on the southeast corner of the grounds and say hello!

Breanna and David

On July 23, Breanna and David were married at the Civic Center in El Dorado. With a hot pink shirt under his black tux, the groom was as striking as his bride.

Since the Civic Center is a little on the plain side for unique photos, the newlyweds decided to brave the nearly 108 degree summer weather and head to a nearby park for some outdoor portraits. We were there less than 10 minutes and got a lot of cool shots...then they were back to the reception without their guests noticing the brief absence!

Congratulations to you both-I had a great time photographing you!
