Kellie Knowles and Joel Foltz Wedding

Kellie and Joel are one of my favorite couples! Kellie is so talented and creative. She did all of the planning and details like a professional planner! I told her that should be her next profession! Absolutely gorgeous is the only way to describe the entire event from the ceremony to the reception. Joel is the sweetest guy, and even after being together for years, they have such respect and admiration for each other!
Kellie's sister, Kerrie sang a beautiful song at the ceremony, and then even joined in with the band for a song at the reception. The slideshow was full of emotions from fun to sentimental, and I have no doubt that everyone left at the end of the party with lots of great memories of a wonderful day celebrating the marriage of two very special people!

Ashton Erwin & Heath Rosenhagen

Scottie Bisarek's Senior Portraits

Scottie was easy going. He had his trademark "mismatched" socks on, and liked graffiti which we had fun finding. It was cool talking to him about photography, which is a hobby of his. Here's a sneak peek of what we did Scottie!

Jessica Siroky's Senior Portraits

I had so much fun with Jessica, her sister, and mom Tara. I loved all of her Miss Me jeans, and other great clothes. I wanted to photograph her in every outfit because they were all too cute to skip any! Halfway through our session, her dad brought his shiny red corvette for some pictures in front of the Old Town Hotel. Jessica has that "model" look and struck the perfect pose. This is just a sneak peek for now with lots more to come!

Hannah Wheeler's Senior Portraits

Hannah met me with her sister and mom. I think she felt like we were ganging up on her at first trying to get her to relax! Soon she had the hang of it and looked great in every outfit! Plaid is so big this fall, and she had 2 outfits with large plaid. Its amazing how different they can look depending upon the color, and the surroundings. I'm excited to do the rest of her edits within a week or two.

Kiley Riegel's Senior Portraits

Kiley and her mom Kay joined me down in Old Town one recent Saturday when I didn't have a wedding to photograph. Her first outfit was a jacket with big buttons which is a style I have always liked. She also brought her bright blue Mustang which was fun, and then we went to the studio to take a few images in her formal dress and at dad's request, we took a few with a football & helmet to remember her high school years as football manager!

Barnes Family Portraits

I photographed Maria and James' wedding a few years ago and was delighted they called to tell me of their precious new addition!
Little Porter wasn't feeling well the first day we met in the park down in Old Town. The trees were beautiful but he didn't want any part of it. We were all amazed that some of those photos actually were really good. But, a week later we had a session in the studio and again outside. Porter was perfect! Lots of good images from that session as well. Here's a few!

Lisa Stevenson and Matt Ruvolo's Engagement Portraits

I had alot of fun with Lisa and Matt. We went around in Old Town and then the park in front of Spagetti Works. Wow I wish that place was still open. I loved eating there. Anyway, the fall trees were so colorful in the park and Lisa and Matt were playful and relaxed. I knew Matt from a couple of years ago when I photographed his sister's wedding. I think Lisa and Matt are just perfect for each other.

Vanessa Fleming & Bobby Lipp's Engagement Portraits

We first were scheduled to get together on a day that turned out to be miserably windy. Even though disappointed, Vanessa agreed to reschedule for a different day. That turned out to be a great decision because we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful one when we shot these pictures. I first met Vanessa when I photographed her sister's wedding a few years ago. Vanessa is so cute and bubbly. I enjoyed getting to know Bobby too, and they seem like a perfect match. I'm looking forward to your wedding!

Ashtan Depew's Senior Portraits

Ashtan was very laid back and not stressed at all about her outfits. We had the wind to deal with that day, but it turned out that her hair weave looked great when it wasn't perfectly arranged!
She had the funky look, and the cowboy hat too! Good variety Ashtan!
More will be posted later!

Ashlyn Heidebrecht's Senior Portraits

Ashlyn had such a calm expression. Her serious shots were very elegant, but she has a beautiful smile as well.I really get pumped when I am photographing someone that can have all sorts of expressions without looking mad. I loved her clothes, short boots, and the park downtown was the perfect spot for some portraits with her cello! Thanks for choosing me to shoot your senior portraits, Ashlyn! This is just a sneak peek. More to come soon!

Kelsey Tinkham's Senior Portraits

I had a really fun time with Kelsey! She had great clothes, and could pull off several different looks - from innocence to glamour!
We found a great spot with gorgeous fall colors to photograph her with her shiny silver car, and then came to the studio for a few shots with her sports collection. Way to go Kelsey! They look great!

Nancy Claus' Senior Portraits

When Nancy and I met for her senior pictures, it was just about the most windy I've ever seen! We went downtown and her sister went along. Luckily we found some areas with a little wind block, and even though it was cold out, we worked quickly and got it done!

Audrey Simon and Greg Petschauer's Wedding Day

Audrey and Simon and Greg Petschauer were married October 10, 2009 at St. Thomas. We were there to capture all of the moments of the day. Audrey was relaxed and enjoying every moment. She wasn't even the least bit worried about the harsh wind blowing her veil all around! After the ceremony, they left the church in a flurry of bubbles for a short limo ride around the block and back in the church for formal pictures. The limo then took us to Old Town's Naftzger Park for some fun candids, then on to the Petroleum Club for the reception. Congratulations Audrey & Greg!
