So one of the many many perks of being married is you get to inherit a lot of “stuff”. One of the items that made it’s way into our house was a wood cutout of my wife when she was a high school cheerleader. Take a look. Super awesome right? Anyway, I have no idea where the wallet size photos that she got 15 years ago went. Even the mighty 8×10 prints have gone missing. The only thing that stood the test of time was this…

…t about March Madness and college basketball, but hear me out.  This will be worth it I promise. Once a client books me one of the first things I get back from them is a little Q&A form to fill out.  It has basic contact info, names, numbers, emails, but it also has some random questions just so I can get to know you guys in a bit of a more personal way.  I can’t wait to get my little form back as soon as a couple has…

Mindy and Justin are chiropractors and have a practice together. My favorite thing that I found out during the session was that Justin really does not visit my blog but has pretty much seen all of my recent work because he is constantly walking into Mindy’s office while she is looking at my site while she should be working. :) So rather than make them wait and wait and have the patients pile up I decided I better get this session blogged…

…It’s so true though, he oozes honesty. I loved seeing them interact and when she would ask for an opinion on something, he would give it, but he always made sure that she felt valued and heard throughout the session. Such a great quality. Bob’s favorite thing about Amanda is how thoughtful she is. “She thinks about people a lot. She cares.” You see that folks? That’s how you pick a spouse. You find someone who is…

…. (Surprise) From time to time through the years, I would bring it up and ask her if she would shave her head for 100 bucks. Again, no. How about 500? Nope. Fast forward to earlier this month, when it hit me. I knew what magic carrot I could dangle in front of her. Back in 2013, Sara saved up her money to go on a cruise and LOVED it. She’s been wanting to go back ever since. :) “Sara, I’ll make you a deal: If you shave your head, I’ll take…

Hey hey, the people have spoken and here are the winners for this years contests. 1. Cassi & Justin: I love how competitive these two are.

…17;t take themselves too seriously. So when she proposed a State Fair engagement session I was all in. When she said, she wanted to make sure and get some gross things like old corn dogs in the photos I knew we would be best friends. AND. When she told me she is going to have a carnival themed wedding I was like… let’s hurry up and get to the wedding. :) Consider this a practice session for the “real photos” to come next…
