Hello Boxell Family.

This evening we had a family session with the Boxell family. We actually had 4 generations in the the studio. Jack, Karen, Ashley and Trisha had that covered. We had fun and ran through the session pretty quick. We had a good time getting that pretty little girl Trisha to laugh and smile. Here are some shots from the session.

The Vaughns

Today we had the pleasure of taking pictures for the Vaughn family. Matt, Kim, and Shelby showed up ready to work and after a few minutes of me fiddling with the music, we finally put them to work. That little Shelby is a cutie. She was a natural in front of the camera. Kim warned me that Matt didn't like having his pictures taken and even told of some past photographers that had their lives cut short by getting on his bad side. I guess all was well cause I'm still here...LOL. We captured some fun images for them and here is a few I've picked to show you all. Thanks again Matt, Kim and Shelby, we had a blast.

Jones'n for the Jones's

Michelle, Greg, Gabe, Taylor, Jordan, and Grace just left our studio. We took some family pictures for them. Gabe was asleep when they arrived, Greg was needing sleep, and Taylor and Jordan did not want to be here. Well none of that matters when you have such a great family as the Jones family. These guys did awesome. We got a ton of shots in a record 45 min session. Thanks alot guys for coming out today. Adrienne and I hope you had as much fun as we did. Check the teaser after the break......

The Mckee Kids. Royalty in the House!!!!

Chandler, Emily, and Cole came over today and we took some fun pictures with them. Today was special because it was our first session with "Royalty." It turns out that Emily won the title of Little Miss Heritage Days (hope I got that right.) Anyway today was fun and we got some really great pictures in a short amount of time. You can't tell from these pictures, but these kid were worn out. They were so good, but still really tired. They just wanted a nap and for the goofy guy with the camera to leave them alone :) . Thanks for coming over guys, we had a blast. Here are some from this morning.

Friends of ours the Bartley Family.

Jason and Amber brought their family over and we took got some really good shots of them and the kids. Too bad it has taken me 2 weeks to get them posted on the blog. Sorry I forgot. Anywho...we had a good time and the pretty much all of the shots we took turned out great it was really hard for me to narrow down for the proofs. I did though and here are a few of my favorites. Thanks Amber and Jason for letting us take pictures of your beautiful family. Bree says thanks too, she loves playing w/ Viva :)

The Schenks and Duncan Families

Ginger and her brother Chris brought their families over today for a session. We did some inside stuff and some outside fall stuff. It's getting cold pretty quickly and the trees are loosing their leaves very fast. We had a good time taking pictures for these two families. Thanks for coming out guys. Here are a few from the session.

The Oliver Family....vroooooom!!!

For our second shoot today we scheduled John and Stacy Oliver and their family. I work with John at Verizon and as ugly as I know he is, I was surprised to find out that he doesn't actually break cameras that photograph him. Just kidding John. Anywho, everybody had a good time with these. Here are is a few teaser images from the day. Thanks again. Enjoy!

Today with the Atkins Family.

Monica called up Adrienne the other day and scheduled an appointment for family pictures at their home. I was really excited about going out there because they live in a beautiful old farm house. They have done a lot to the place over the years while still keeping an authentic look. Man, there were some great places for taking pictures. Look to see more from this location in the future. We had a good time with Mike and Monica's family we just wish we had more time to spend with them today. We didn't schedule enough time to do the place and the family justice. What we did get was great. Here are just a few...

Thanks again Atkins family, we had a blast!

The Sergesketter family at home.

The Sergesketter family asked us to come out to their house today for a few pictures. The weather was beautiful. Well, I thought it was anyway. Everyone else was complaining about the cold...until the dogs were brought out. Seems like keeping the dogs in line was enough of a workout to knock out the cold. :) We had a fun time with Kevin, Cheryl and their girls. The pictures turned out great. Here a some from today.

Today I had a revalation.

Little background here. I left early from college (engineering) to take a sales job. I made good money. I worked that job for some time, first on the retail side of the business then moving onto commercial accounts. I did quite well selling. I had "it" they said (the gift of gab, the ability to B.S., or whatever you want to call it). During that time I discovered that I really didn't like people that much. In the business I was in I didn't see people at their best, at least not often enough anyway. I left sales to get back on the engineering side of things and I found a job that I still very much love. Fast forward to today....This summer my wife and I decided to open this little photography business and I've discovered something yet again. I actually do like people. I'm taking a break from editing a senior shoot to write this and there has been a smile on my face since I sat down at this computer. The effect looking at smiling faces over and over again has on me is astounding. This really makes me happy. The same is true when I'm shooting. Looking through that camera and seeing all of those smiling faces is awesome. Makes me smile Thanks for listening, take this for what you will.
