106 DEGREES for one HOT WEDDING!

June 28, 2009

That’s right! 106 Degrees with the heat index, according to Fox4…but we came & we conquered! We had a few elements working against us: heat, potential thunderstorms, time constraints, delays…but we ROCKED the sweat out of this day!!!! Ashley and Derek are in Jamaica right now, soaking up nicer heat, but hopefully they’ll get a chance to check out these AWESOME teasers!

To start off, I had to include the text message Derek sent Ashley that morning. 🙂

I know, I know..I’m addicted to the unique ring shots. While I was at Ashley’s house spying on the girls getting ready, I noticed the fish on the wall. Ashley told me that Derek actually caught those and he’s real big into fishing. WALA! Instant ring shot idea!

I was super creepy for this one….wasn’t I, girls? I just squeezed past four girls getting ready and hid int he shower. haha

Shirts courtesy of the maid of honor. She made them.

Every girl likes her eyes BIG.

Matt went to spy on the boys getting ready and caught this one…which I totally laughed instantly when I saw it.

Oooooo…what HOT guys on their phones!!!

Check out these SWEEEEET thangs!

Have I mentioned I’m a HUGE, GIGANTIC, ENORMOUS fan of colorful heels!

Girl ATTACK

Grand entrance to “Sexy Back”, with some fancy moves to start the party right.

Love me some dancin’

How SEXY is this!

I think EVERY SINGLE wedding I go to, I anxiously await the cake cutting. I wait in anticipation for a possible cake smashing. I LOVE IT SO!

A little “Top Gun” action…

While I was shooting the Dollar Dance, Matt got to go seek out some fun shots. Check out what one of the guest’s was sporting. Matt talked to him and the guy said he gets a new design every couple weeks. THAT’s toooo cool!

One last, long expo shot of the reception marks a cool ending to a hot day with a hot couple.

Ashley and Derek, thanks for having us document your fabulous day!

Ryan has his cake and eats it too!

June 14, 2009

I had the opportunity to shoot Melissa, Lance, and little Ryan at Antioch Park on Saturday. The weather cooperated and the temperature was just right. This first shot I thought was especially nice since Father’s Day is coming up.

I ask Melissa a couple weeks ago about some ideas for a “Signature” shot, and this is what we came up with. Lance is OBVIOUSLY from K State, and Melissa from KU…Under the SAME roof! haha so…the inspiration for this shot is which way will Ryan go. hehe

This looks like to me that Melissa’s trying to persuade him. 🙂

And here’s my favorite pictures of the session…and I think theirs too. Since he recently turned one…I felt he needed a little cake lovin’.

So…he ate…

….and ate…and ate…

…ate so much his belly was hangin’ over his shorts….

…and was hard as a rock…

This is what Ryan looks and feels like after stuffing about 3/4th of a whole cake (one box mix) into his itty-bitty body. WOW!

City Market Lovin’ with Nate & Kirsten!

June 8, 2009

So, Saturday I looked at the forecast for Sunday and it said 93 degrees. OUCH! But by noon Sunday, it actually felt quite nice. I leave my home and set out to my 2p session with Nate & Kirsten, and it still seemed very comfortable. But of course, almost immediately into our session, the sun kicked it up a few notches and started to melt us. Amazingly enough, I kept viewing the LCD on the back of my camera only to see a flawless Kirsten. “How is this possible?”, I asked myself…and eventually asked her what the secret was. Sephora brand of photographic makeup. I look to Matt immediately and remind him my birthday is coming up. *wink, wink*

How CUTE is this?! Their idea, even. I love when the creativity flows from everywhere.

This is a total blooper, but I kept coming back to it while picking out blog picks. I love the humor.

That’s right…Kirsten is BUFF! You go, girl!

I was looking at the alley and knew I wanted some casual picture of them just walking, and when I explained it to Nate, he told me he liked the look of one of the Bob Dylan CD covers. I’ve never seen the cover myself, but I gave it a go. I just compared this shot to the cover shown on google images…not bad. Although, I had to say Nate is much, much better looking. 🙂

When I first met these two, I asked them about ideas for a “signature shot” and asked them about things they felt strongly about. First thing that popped to mind was that they both feel strongly about being environmentally friendly. PERFECT! I told them to bring their recycling tub. Then, when I was playing around with colors, I stumbled upon this super neat look and had to keep it. I’ve never gone bold blue like this but I absolutely love it.

Ummm….the eyes! Wow!

Haven’t done a silhouette shot in a while, and they have had not only excellent profiles, but a perfect sky behind them.

Nate and Kirsten were complete pros in front of the camera, so I am sooooo excited for their wedding in the fall.

Trashin’ Jayne’s Dress…oh yea!

June 5, 2009

I won’t lie…trashin’ da dress is my favorite. 🙂 And I suppose it doesn’t help that I’ve recently been turned onto the “America’s Next Top Model” tv series. Fortunately for me, Jayne and Cecil have fulfilled the urge to act out my photography fantasy. Jayne + Cecil + Dress + Red Shoes = Pure Photo Lovin’!

Now…doesn’t this look refreshing.

Oooo, that looks like fun, too. hahaha

I have to give a shout out to my super-duper assistant and future rockstar photographer…Tiana. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I couldn’t have do it without you.

This picture pretty much sums up why I love Jayne and Cecil soooooo much!

Lions, and photographers, and bears, OH MY.

Ok…Tyra would say this is the look of a GODDESS!

Kids at Kaleidoscope…fun.
