Hi All! Just wanted to let you know I am doing FREE sessions for Military families through Christmas. If you know someone out there that has a spouse that is deployed and wants photos of theirself with their kids or just pics of the kids I want to shoot them! Not only will I be doing the session free but I'll also be making a show of the images (if they want me to ) to share with them overseas. Holidays are an even tougher time four our service Men and Women and I would love to give them amazing art of their family to make their holiday a little brighter. Spread the word and tell them to call me asap, I'll take good care of them, but then again you already knew that right!

Thanks Friends!

Kara and Cody's Wedding!








What a Beautiful wedding! Kara and her family really put on a great event for their freinds and family. The weather held out enough for us to shoot outside prior to the ceremony, but unleashed a downpour as soon as we were headed to Sycamore Creek to shoot outside! We were able to get some really great stuff despite the weather and Kara and Cody even braved the rain for a few really spectacular shots under the umbrella. Now, normally I let everyone know my favorite shot of the day and it's almost always a shot of the couple. Actually my favorite shot of the day was a frame I was able to get of Kara and her Father right before they walked down the aisle together.

I've known Kara for years, but I've never seen her as happy as I see her when she is with Cody. If you think Kara, the first thing that comes to mind is that she always has a smile on her face, I think it's really adorable that she found someone who she can spend the rest of her life with that always has a smile on his face! They are great together and Kara even let Cody drive the golf cart instead of sitting in the back seat! Click here to view all the images and click here to see the show full size. -Nick

Vivky and Steve's E-Session






I met Vicky and Steve for their E-Session last week and we had a perfect day to shoot. Steve was a little tired from working well into the morning and driving up to Dayton but once I told Vicky to give him a few smooches and he got the photo in front of the dirtbikes he was good to go! They were huge UK fans so we stopped at my favorite blue wall for a bit before heading to Cox where it seemed every kid going to prom that weekend was there with their parents getting photos taken! It was a riot to see some of those outfits the kids were wearing! Thanks for hanging in there Steve! Vicky and I really appreciated it! Click here to see the show full size. -Nick

This is Genny and Randy! They are getting married in October. I shot their E-session over at the Oregon District and it was awesome! It was great shooting down there. It had so many really great places to shoot and we really just hit the tip of the iceberg. Genny and Randy were up for anything and it was great to just get to know them both better.

Pam and Jason wedding!








Pam and Jason's wedding was so beautiful. We just loved the colors they chose, the guys wore blue tuxes with yellow and blue ties and the girls wore blue dresses. There was so many unique and personal touches. You could easily see the love for each other flow out of them both. It was really great to able to photograph their affections for one another! The slideshow is just a few of our favorite images from the day! Enjoy and to see the rest of the images just simply click here.

Sarah and Nick!







Awwwww Sarah and Nick are so adorable! We had such a good time on Saturday shooting their wedding. It was a breezy day with some threatening rain but that didn't stop us from capturing beautiful photos of these two and their wonderful family and friends. Sarah is the sister of a bride, Andrea, that we shot last April so we already felt like part of their family so it was awesome to get the chance to meet Nick's great family as well. A great time was evidently had by all and the special love that Sarah and Nick share was so apparent. The see the all the rest of the images from the wedding just click here.
