Okay, I apologize to those 25 people out there who are waiting for me to finish their images…..I know that I shouldn’t be taking time for a blog post when I have sooo much editing to do! I am honestly making progress and hope to get a lot of sessions (I honestly do have 25 to work on right now!) finished this week, as I don’t have near as many sessions to shoot, and the kids will be in school all day long!
But….I can’t have a blog post without sharing some cute photos…..I love the flowered headbands that so many Moms bring along for their little girls to wear…..they are perfect for pictures!

Andrew and Becca are two of my favorite people! I was so glad to have the privilege of photographing their wedding day…….
Notice the “optical illusion” in this image (above).
I loved this one, too, with her Mom peeking around the mirror.
Becca’s brother, Ryan, has quite the sense of humor!
Andrew sang to Becca during the ceremony…..a song he had written just for her…it was amazing.
I LOVED the way her veil was lit up during the ceremony….made for beautiful photos!
And my favorite image to capture is this one…..the bride and groom, immediately after they walk out of the ceremony…….as they celebrate being husband and wife.
Congratulations Andrew and Becca!

I have loved the newborn sessions that I’ve had lately…..especially this one. This darling little one slept through much of the session, which allowed for some beautiful sleepy images!

Here are just a few photos from our recent vacation to Colorado and Wyoming. I posted the rest on Facebook.
We started our vacation by driving to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, where my family vacationed every summer when I was growing up. I have always loved the yellow “FM Lights” signs..some of them are very old! I decided this year to take photos of them all and make them into a collage.
The boys had fun skipping rocks into the Yampa river in Steamboat Springs.
We saw this deer at a campground at Steamboat Lake.
I love to photograph trees! Especially in the mountains….they are so beautiful.
Old Faithful was as predictable as ever!
We saw quite a few Elk in Yellowstone National Park.
We also saw a lot of Bison in Yellowstone.
There are a lot of dead trees in Yellowstone (fire??), but they are still fascinating to me, and beautiful in their own way.
We saw several black bears in the park.
This photo (above) is a Grizzly bear….and someone standing next to us said that there were cubs, too, but I couldn’t ever spot them.
Spotting wildlife in Yellowstone is a little like going to the zoo…..everyone stops to look and take photos, until the Park Ranger comes along and makes them leave!

I was so excited the other night at the museum when John Jensen handed me an envelope and said “This is the best I can do for you so far”……and inside, were old photos of my studio building that sits at the corner of 6th and Frederick streets in Clay Center.
We think, according to the Clay County Courthouse records, anyway, that the building was built in 1930. It was a grocery store for many years. On the back of this photo, John has written that the building with the high spire is the old hospital. John does not know what year this photo was taken.
The year is unknown on this one, too, but the name of the store is still the same “A. Fox Grocer”….and notice that on the side of the building, it reads “Last Chance”……I can’t figure out what that was about. The building is shown here with an open porch, instead of the enclosed front like in the first photo.
John took this photo in May, 1973. I was 3 years old, and living one block away. Here, the building has changed again…with the 2 large windows in the front, and the sign has changed to “6th Street Grocery”, which is how most people remember it. Now, the building has only 1 window in the front, but otherwise looks much the same.
Thanks so much for John Jensen for the photos!

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful family last year….and I was amazed at how much the girls had grown when they came for their session this year. They are adorable! We started our session in the park…………..
And then it started raining….so we spent some time in the studio.

This little cutie recently celebrated her first birthday. I loved her blue tutu!
