Dan and Samantha :: Engaged!!

Upon meeting Dan and Samantha, I liked them, a lot. He is the quieter one and she bubbles with joy and smiles. As we talked about their meeting, engagement, wedding, hobbies and more wedding I got the sense at how well paired they are. They love the country (me too), the simple life and pleasures (me too) and most of all, they love to fish! (I can't say, me too, on this one but if I owned a pole, i'm sure I would like it :)) As always, it's such a pleasure to meet new people and be invited in to have part in such a special day. Dan and Samantha, I so enjoyed working with you ahead of time and getting to know you even better before your wedding day approaches. Thank you again for trusting me to document you wedding and your love.

Samantha choose two locations for the engagement shoot. #1 An old pump station for a 50's theme (awesome!!) and #2 a pond out in the country where they often fish Hello! Gone fishing :) Great subjects! Great sun! Great day!! Can't wait for September!

The Last Rider :: Personal

I have the opportunity and pleasure to participate in the making of the movie, The Last Rider, this summer. I've read the screen play and heard the vision of the director and I'm quite impressed. I'm honored to be a part of this local talent. If you would like to support the film or just learn more, please visit THIS SITE and look around!!

The Last Rider

This summer I have the amazing privilege to shoot on a movie set! I have worked with director Sebastian Keck on other projects before, it's been such a great experience and way too much fun! Watch for photos around July, but for now check out the trailer. Gives me goose bumps every time! www.vimeo.com/40528956

Alley :: Senior!!

Meet beautiful, Alley. We got together for a senior shoot in downtown St. Charles. Even though I had been to St Charles, it was a new location to shoot in. I loved it! It's so lovely to break out of the routine and have a challenge. Not only do I grow as a photographer, I get better photos because my mind is always moving. ANYWAY! Here are some of my favorites of the day. Despite Alleys claims of being a rookie, she preformed like a rockstar! See for yourself. :)

Work. It. Lady. Such a cute little theater! Um, yes. Probably my favorite of the day :)
