Nick and Ellen ordered one of my collections that included a 5x5 album with images from their session. You can see the pages from the album in the post below this one but I also wanted to show you a few shots of the finished album. This size is a perfect brag book...which I'm sure Ellen is going to love having in her purse to look at her sweet fiance' while they are MANY miles apart.
I am so excited to be able to offer albums with most of my collections. I think it's so important to have these captured memories documented. So often our digital files just sit on our computers. I am guilty of this also. I am trying to get more books printed with the photos in them so at least they are off my computer and out in the open where everyone can pour through the books and remember the fun times we've had together.
I put together Nick and Ellie's engagment album last night. I am so excited about this album and really hope they love it too. It has not been finalized or printed yet but here is a sample of their album pages.
I always love creating a collage or storyboard from some of my favorite photos from each session. Remember these custom storyboards can be created to be any size and include any number of your favorite photos.
Here is one that I created for Blake and Lydia.
There are many wonderful items that can be created with your photographs. From save the date cards to storyboards. From thank you notes to handbags and everything in between. Your photographs make great gifts for your family and friends. Please ask about personalizing gift items for your loved ones.
With a plastic pony in hand he got down on one knee outside her car door at the elementary school and asked her to be his wife. She then noticed the "missing" ring tied around the ponies neck and two of her life long dreams were fulfilled at once. She got a pony and the man of her dreams!
Blake and Lydia met at a Young Adult Party in the Park that three area Lutheran Churches hosted (I happened to be there also). They started the conversation there and it continued at their small group Bible studies that Lydia joined shortly after the party. They started "dating" in December and officially in January. While Blake programs software by day Lydia is shaping the minds of young 7th and 8th graders in the area of literature and by night they are having a blast being together, whether it's playing Scrabble or planning their wedding (I'm pretty sure they're laughing)!
Blake and Lydia, thank you so much for allowing me to capture this really special time in your life. I had such a great time working with you. It was fun to learn more about you and to laugh with you! Thanks for the great morning. I hope you love your photographs. I had a really hard time narrowing it down...you get lots of sneak peaks!!! Thanks again and God's richest blessings on your wedding and most importantly on your marriage!
I had a blast photographing Nick and Ellen yesterday. They were so fun to work with and I really had a blast getting to know them better. Nick and I actually went to the same highschool...at the same time (he was a year behind me)...but we really didn't know each other there. He sat down in front of me at church a while ago and we got to talking and that's how I found out we both went to highschool at MLHS in Milwaukee and now live in San Antonio. Crazy...small...world!
Nick and Ellen met through Facebook, they became friends, emailed, texted, visited each other, fell in love and soon changed their status to "engaged". Nick and Ellen have a lot of fun with each other and they know how to joke around and be serious (sometimes). They were up for all my ideas and had some great ideas of their own. Thanks Nick and Ellen for the really fun morning! Here are a few of my favorites, I hope you love them too.
Their first date was on September 11, 2006, they met only two nights ealier at Howl at the Moon in downtown San Antonio. Karla was at a friends bachelorette party and Jason was hanging out with some of his Air Force buddies. The music was loud and everyone was dancing so Karla grabbed Jason by the arm and asked him to dance. At the end of the evening she scribbled her number on the back of a bumper sticker and told him to call. He was only going to be in town one more week and she had to leave on a business trip in the middle of the week so they had their first date on a Monday. The first date led to photo calls and emails and eventually Jason moved from New Jersey to San Antonio after he was finished serving with the Air Force. The rest as they say is history! These two are so in love and they love to have a good time, I can't wait to see what the future has in store for them!
I happen to know Jason and Karla from church, and they've babysat my kids too. We had such a great time walking around down at the Riverwalk, threatening to push someone in the river(we won't mention names), getting yelled at for standing on some rocks at Mission Concepcion, being freaked out by the guy talking about a suitcase bomb (we saw him at BOTH missions taking photos with a disposable camera, should we have reported him?) and just laughing till it hurt. Thanks so much Jason and Karla for trusting me with these precious memories. I had SO MUCH FUN. And although it was my longest session to date it went by super fast! I had a really hard time narrowing down the choices. Here are a bunch of my favorites! Which one do you like the best?
I was so honored to be able to capture some memories for Kari and Jason today. They asked me to take their engagement photos and some "new" family photos. Jason has two handsome young sons and I will share more photos of them later. But first let me introduce you to Kari and Jason. The fact that they are very much in love is very evident. They make each other smile and laugh and have their relationship firmly planted in Christ!
We had a great time walking around HemisFair Park captured some great moments for the two of them and also for their soon-to-be family of four! Kari and Jason, thank you for the opportunity to help you capture these moments. I hope you love the photographs as much as I do. Make sure to check back later for photos of the "little dudes".
I had a great time taking Julie and Clif's engagment photos. They decided to let me use my creativity to create a guest book for them from their engagement session. The book turned out great and people really seemed to like it. (I have a sample of my own if you care to see it.) This is something that I love to do and would love to turn your engagement session or senior session into a guest album or coffee table book. Now, Julie and Clif will have a great coffee table book with photos from their session and a reminder of who shared in their special day with them.
Here's a small sampling of some of the pages in the book.
Clif and Julie met at Lambeau Field outside a Packer game. The day after they met I received a phone call. You see, Julie is my best friend...and she had to tell me about this guy she met. They started talking on the phone pretty regularly and soon enough they were dating. Julie helps coach softball at Concordia Wisconsin and she and the team went down to Florida for some games in March. Clif and Julie's mom traveled on their own to Florida at the same time to spend some time there with Julie and watch some softball games. Clif also went to Florida with other intentions. On their free day they spent some time at Disneyworld and really enjoyed creating new memories. The best memory though was that evening as it was getting dark and they were starting to head home Clif took Julie by the hand and led her back to the Cinderella castle where he got down on one knee and asked Julie to spend the rest of her life with him. She said yes and as they say, the rest is history. She called me that evening to tell me the good news and then later asked me to take their engagement photos. I was so totally honored.
It's nice to know that the people that mean the most to you appreciate and like what you do. So while, I was home on vacation Julie, Clif, Greg and I spent an evening in Sheboygan. We went to Julie's family cottage on Lake Michigan to get some photos and then downtown Sheboygan. I had such an awesome time photographing them and could really see how much they love each other. They really know how to have a good time...and Clif's good at taking what Julie dishes out! I am SO EXCITED to be part of their wedding in October and to see their relationship grow and blossom as a married couple. To come full circle from when they met they are having their wedding reception at Lambeau field! We can't wait!
Thanks again Julie and Clif for the awesome evening full of laughter, good memories, awesome photographs and best friends! We can't wait till your wedding and pray that your day will be blessed by God!
I have so many favorites from our photo shoot that I had a hard time picking which ones to post...so there are lots to look at. Which one is your favorite?
