Congratulations Melinda & Ben!





It’s 12:39 am, and I am officially exhausted after a crazy and certainly memorable day! Today we had the opportunity to shoot the beautiful wedding of Ben and Melinda – two amazing people that will certainly last a lifetime together! On the way to the reception, we got a call from our realtor that we had also sold our home today (was on the market if you scroll down a bit :) so overall, it’s been an exciting day!

We really enjoyed hanging out with Melinda & Ben, and would like to thank them as well as their family and friends for allowing us to be a part of their special day. We have tons and tons of AWESOME photos from the day (including the samples above), and will make them available online for viewing/ordering as soon as possible. If you are interested in pre-registering your name to receive an email when photos are live, you can do so at the link below.

Family Reunion/Birthday Celebration!


This week has been a whirlwind of a week for us, as we’ve had our house on the market, and are in the midst of buying our new home. This is our first time selling a home believe it or not, and it takes some getting used to when having multiple people/families walk through your house each day! We’ve been working really hard to make sure things are in perfect condition for whoever takes over, and needless to say, I’m a bit backed up on my photography work this week.

Today, we had several showings of our home, so had to take our dogs to the shoot with us…. it probably wasn’t the most professional thing in the world, but we had to get them out of the house for a few hours. Anyway, we were happy to have joined the Poll family who is celebrating with a birthday for George (Happy Birthday, George!), and overall family reunion. It was nice to hang out with them for a bit, and enjoyed getting some fun family group shots, etc. Thanks for a great shoot today and allowing us to hang out with your family for a bit. We’ll get the photos uploaded as soon as possible for viewing/ordering!

P.S. We have a two – wedding weekend coming up this week, so stay tuned for more updates throughout the week, etc!

Today was extremely busy for us as we are on a mission to get our house ready for it’s first showing this weekend. The day was filled with lawnwork, cleaning out the garage, peeling down wallpaper, painting, etc (all the fun stuff you do when you go to sell your home I guess). The house shows in online listings tomorrow, so it’s been a stressful weekend making sure things are perfect.

Anway, took a break today to do some shooting with Marcus for his senior portraits. Marcus is a super nice guy, and doesn’t seem to be the type that will terrorize the kids at school this year… although, he’s a wrestler, so not sure I would mess with him! We enjoyed hanging out with him for a bit, and look forward to finishing up the rest of the images for him.

Good luck this year, Marcus, and enjoy it while it lasts…. you only get one senior year of high school my friend!

Congratulations Amy & Jonathan!






A beautiful day here today, and we are happy to have spent it celebrating the new marriage of Amy & Jonathan. Both, Amy and Jay are such awesome people with great personalities… this is definitely one of those couples that will last a lifetime! The wedding was a lot of fun, and they surprised everyone by having some cool carnival stuff at their reception, including a rock climbing wall, etc. As always, we’d like to thank Amy and Jay for allowing us to be a part of their day with them. Here’s a few quick shots from the day!

Officially For Sale!




So, after two years of living in our first home, Tonya and I have officially placed a bid on a new house today, and are putting our current home on the market. This has come as sort of an impulse move for us as we didn’t plan on moving so quickly, however we found an awesome house with even more space and a better location for our business to continue to grow, which I suppose is a good move. It’s a little scary making such a big decision so quickly, but I guess sometimes a good calculated risk is good for ya.

Above are some of the photos I took tonight that will be used in the official listing to help sell our current house. As you can see it’s a beautiful place to live and hope to see a good couple take over for us. I’m officially using my blog to help me sell a house now (who woulda thought) Let me know if there are any takers! :)
