Ok! So it has been a while since I have been on here. I apologize. Life has been crazy. We had to take a leave of absence at the end of 2008 due to family issues, but we are back and ready to go. We have brand new economy friendly pricing. We are also offering weddings at $450. For that price you will get 8 hours of coverage and a DVD of all of the images from your wedding. If anyone would like additional information please contact me. Summer weddings are booking fast!! We want everyone to know that there is no need to worry about booking with us. If you book with us we WILL be there--NO MATTER WHAT!

Below you will find some images from some recent weddings.

Cynthia & Tadd Maternity

2008-08-09T16:34:00.005-04:00

Cynthia & Tadd are amazing people. I am very honored that I was able to do their maternity pictures as well as their wedding. They actually had their baby on July 19th, 2008--so I am a little late on getting these pictures posted. They had a little girl named Ireland Rose. She absolutely beautiful. I should have pictures of her to post soon.

Brandy & Arnulfo's Wedding

2008-07-15T02:19:00.003-04:00

Brandy and Arnulfo were married in Ligonier, IN at the Bethel Templo Church. It was a small wedding, but they were surrounded by people that truly cared for them. I felt so sorry for them on their wedding day. They had so many delays--the type of delays you only hear about! In the end they were finally able to say "I do" and start their lives together.

I love the cross window in the background of this picture!
Unfortunately, Brandy wasn't looking at me--but it is still a neat pic.

Cynthia & Tadd's Wedding

2008-07-15T01:44:00.003-04:00

Cynthia and Tadd are dear to my heart. I went to high school with Tadd and years later I met Cynthia at an old job. It is really funny because I didn't know that they were together right away. Cynthia knew that I did photography and told me that when she got married she wanted me to do her photographs. Later as her big day approached she talked of her fiance--I then realized what a small world it is.
They had their wedding in Eureka, MO--near Cynthia's hometown-- at a country club and it was beautiful. We did a lot of outdoor pictures before the reception and we were very fortunate that the weather cooperated. A few months after their wedding I was informed that they are now expecting their first child--in fact little Ireland Rose is due any day now. I was honored to do their maternity pictures and I will soon be doing the baby's first photos.

Congratulations Cynthia and Tadd on starting your new life together!

The picture above is my favorite from their wedding.

The beautiful bride!

I am very excited to announce that we now have a blog page. I hope that everyone will be sure to check in on us occasionally.

For those of you that do not know me--I am incredibly motivated and photography is my passion. My husband and I share this passion. He and I work together to create lasting memories for brides, seniors, families, and anyone else that we are blessed to work with. In our lives we have realized is that life is very short and people come and go. One thing you can always count on is your family and friends. Photographs can say a thousand words, but capturing the words behind the photograph takes patience and skill. Photography is a delicate art--it's not just pointing and shooting, instead, it involves capturing a story for people to look back on.
