things i love*

As a part of my new years resolution, this is the post for the week. Lets call this week #2. *

Week #2 is all about what I am loving right now.

I love this blog. Knock of wood (http://knockoffwood.blogspot.com/) is a amazing. This chick is a rock star and inspiring for every woman. Rachel had introduced it to me a couple of days ago and its been bookmarked and view daily since then. I am going to leave the rest of the details out so you can check the site out for yourselves. Have fun!

Secondly, I love food. I love all kinds but especially deserts. This is my latest creation. It's as great as it's not so great to look at. With a little sugar, karo white corn syrup, peanut butter and corn flakes; you get this amazingly chewy corn flake yumminess. Enjoy!

Lastly, I love my shaggy puppy. I had to take this photo because next week he's going to have eyes yet again. He's going to the groomers. He will see once again. :) I will miss the shag....

Thanks for listening!

" So I heard of this on the Dr. Phill show and had to check it out. Very interesting! I think this is good fun for everyone. Adam and I did ours together and had a laugh or too. I am a bear! Hear me roar!" Julie

andrea + brad

Andrea and Brad are getting in just a few short months. So clearly, we had to get those engagement photos done.

It was a bit cold outside but I am confident that things went well. After my nose unfroze, I was able to view the photos and just loved them.

I really liked the colors of their sweaters and how they mesh with nature. I think that simple is always better and they pulled off these engagement photos beautifully!

Thanks! It was great meeting you!

riley- 1 yr. old

Riley was a great little guy. Happy by nature, he was just a smiling away the whole session. We had so many ideas and was able to try them all out. We did everything for tummys and ties to dad's hat and formals. I know he was ready for a nap by the end of the session!

Thanks!

nathan- coldwater high school

Nathan was my first senior of the year and I had a great time photographing him. He was really patient with me outside in the snow.

I love taking portraits in the winter. I just need to find willing subjects. It's great too for seniors because they get a different look than most of their classmates.

I also tried some new retouching techniques on his photos. Nathan's session really got me excited for the upcoming senior season!

buddy

I am have decided that I needed fun and interesting new year resolutions. There will be no weight-loss promises but something I am going to succeed in! So, I committed myself to picking up my camera at least once a week and shooting something for fun. It cant be a session but something that I am truly interested in.

As you can see, I choose buddy for my first assignment. He's just an easy subject. The results were kinda cool. The second photograph is my favorite. I think that it speaks volumes about his personality. I wanted something different. Different angles. Different looks.

zehringer family 09

It was great getting to photography this family. They were really easy going and in good humor. I want to thank all you girls for this awesome family photo in the snow. Its my favorite in the session and I know you girls feet froze for it! Thanks!

Proofs will be in soon!
