Springtime!

Wow--just realized how long it has been since I updated my blog. Things have been pretty busy-I've photographed a horse show, first communion, prom, misc. family and engagement sessions and some fun "new baby horse" photos too. Just to get caught up, I've included several photos from a few of these. Enjoy!

Erin and Jarrod

Saturday I met with Erin and Jarrod regarding their December 4th wedding. They are in the early stages of planning their wedding, and haven't decided yet if they will be married in Wellington or at St. John's in El Dorado. Erin has purchased her wedding gown, and they can also cross "book photographer" off their list, as they confirmed that I will be photographing their wedding. Congratulations, Erin and Jarrod!

I've recently been working with Tara and Rob in laying out their wedding album. They were married last summer at Central Christian Church, reception at Tallgrass Country Club. Their wedding album is going to be awesome! I love how they chose the "goofy pic", as they call it, of their entire wedding party!

Aaron and Ashley

This time of year I spend a lot of time working on wedding albums from the previous year's weddings. Following the wedding, couples are usually too busy for 3-6 months to have time to pick out their favorite images for their album. Once we have gotten through the busy holiday season, I start getting calls and emails about album choices.

Recently, Aaron and Ashley emailed a list of picture choices for their album. They had a beautiful outdoor wedding this past June, and I have been enjoying working on their album!

Jessi and Eric

On January 2, Jessi and Eric were married at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Wichita. Despite the frigid temperature and snow, their families and friends all turned out to celebrate the happy day. Their reception was held at the hall there at the church, where guests enjoyed a delicious lunch and some heartfelt toasts by the best man and maid of honor.

Congratulations to Jessi and Eric!

Kelli and Bryan's New Year's Eve Wedding

Kelli and Bryan planned a memorable start to 2010 for their family and friends by getting married on New Year's Eve. Their wedding and reception were held at the Civic Center in El Dorado. Great food and a rockin' DJ kicked off their wedding celebration and the start of 2010. Congratulations, Kelli and Bryan!

Holiday time!

Ok, I admit it. I have been busy and haven't updated my blog in a while. Family get-togethers for Thanksgiving, then we are picking out a special tree at Prairie Pines Christmas Tree Farm, then ...it's all a blur! I have a lot of blessings to count!

Got back from a family weekend in Kansas City with just enough time to head to Peabody to photograph the Mellott family. On Christmas Eve day, my 4 wheel drive got me through the snowstorm to Amanda's grandmother's house to photograph her family while they were all together. The day after Christmas, I headed north to photograph the Cooper family. It is truly an honor to photograph such terrific families--thank you!

May 30, 2010

Prairie Rose is the location and May 30 is the date for the wedding of Christy and Scott. They will have a large wedding party, with six attendants on each side. Since they both enjoy horses, following the ceremony they will take a buggy ride to have some "new husband and wife" time, as well as get some fun pictures with them and their horses on the grounds of the Prairie Rose.

Their wedding plans are coming along well, with Totally Legal Sound and Lighting as the DJ entertainment for the reception.

In addition to their busy jobs in the sheriff's department, Christy and Scott run a charity to benefit children and families. I was very impressed with this selfless couple and can't wait to photograph their wedding!
