Morgan | Senior Session

I had so much fun photographing Morgan for her high school senior session. She was excited to share some ideas she had and was up for any suggestions I had. Her enthusiasm for our locations delighted me! We had a beautiful day to walk around downtown and were able to use spots as we found them. Being able to discover neat, little areas to photograph without having a checklist of places we "had" to get to made the whole session laid back, easy and fun. And, best of all, we got some amazing shots!

Corridor Wedding Professionals

We spent the evening at the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library, mingling with area wedding professionals. We thought it was nice that they asked us to capture a few images from the night. Chris was obsessed with the chandelier. He was amazed that there haven't yet been any wedding couples to hold their dance out in the hall, under the chandelier. He's already hoping to photograph a "first dance" with it in the background.

Bre & Steve | Engagement Session

Bre and Steve had really been hoping for snow for their engagement session. But, as anyone who lives in the midwest knows, you can't really count on the weather to do what you want. We had a nice, warm January day for their session instead of snow. (Plenty of snow came later!)

Spring Flowers

"Three Rules of Work: 

Out of clutter find simplicity; 

From discord find harmony; 

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." 

~Albert Einstein

For the very first time, I got flower bulbs! I've always been a little jealous of other people's yards when I see pretty spring flowers pop up. Every spring I think I'll plant bulbs in the fall. But, every fall, I forget. 

Now I have no excuse! 

I'm a Kickstarter Backer! - How your iPhone will make magic

I'm sure you have heard of Kickstarter, the website that helps people with ideas get in touch with people that have money. The idea isn't for big corporations to throw money at these projects, but regular people like us that believe in the ideas to support them.

And after the success of that guy who was funded to make potato salad last year, I'm sure you were like me, wishing you had come up with your own Kickstarter, right?

Well, maybe better is to be able to tell people you are a Kickstarter backer. And you should start with the Prynt Kickstarter.

(And not just because I don't recommend you eat potato salad made by a guy named "Zack Danger Brown.")

Prynt is a cool little camera case that prints photos right from your phone. It's like turning your iPhone (or Android) into a Polaroid camera. You can print photos that you take with the case or from your camera roll saved on your phone. Go read up on the techy features, like no wifi, ink or batteries needed.

And then we can talk about the amazing "Harry Potter-style" moving images. Yes, Prynt will make your photos *magical*.

They plan to have these little camera/printer combos in stores in time for Christmas, so you can certainly wait til then to buy one. But, I'm a backer, so I'll have mine before you do. Unless you become a backer, too. Then in that case, we should go do a photo shoot together. :)
