Baby Levi

This little guy is as sweet as can be.  He is so perfect and mom and dad couldn’t be happier now that he is part of their adorable family!

I promise, you will love these photos!

One week old baby smiles are the best!

My favorite image from the session:

Congratulations Mitch & Jess!

Kate & Rod – Wedding!

I have tons of weddings to blog from this fabulous summer of weddings.  I have had the chance to capture some of the most amazing and in love couples and I can’t wait for you all to see each of their special days!

Kate and Rod had a beautiful wedding day.  They have such a great time together and there is never a dull moment.  Take a peek at their outdoor wedding ceremony and their reception all taking place at the Little Log House in Hastings.

Congratulations Kate and Rod!  Thank you for letting me be part of your special day!

Crystal & Jim – engaged

Crystal and Jim are planning a September wedding in Mitchell, SD.  These two are just so happy and perfect for each other it is so fun to see. We took their engagement photos at two locations that are extremely meaningful to their relationship.  The first was at a cattle feedlot where they spend much of their time and spent their entire dating life.  Many couples think of a nice date as going to a fancy restaurant.  But, for these two, they are completely content with having long conversations in while feeding cattle.

We also took some neat shots as the sun was setting at Jim’s families pasture which overlooks the Missouri river in SD.  The view was just breathtaking.  And so are their photos!!

Oh how I love cowboy boots!  wearing them and photographing too…  If you wear some to a shoot I will probably photograph them:)

I think this may be my favorite ring shot yet…

this last set of pictures would look awesome in a 4 photo frame. Love it!

Colt is 1 year old!

This little guy may look familiar if you follow my blog and that is because he is sister’s adorable baby boy!  He is so much fun and I enjoy every minute with him.  As long as he has a tractor nearby, preferable John Deere, he is the happiest boy on earth.

We even got a few family shots this time too!

Oh, and I got a quick shot of their  bull since he was watching the session happen first hand!

This may have been one of my favorite sessions yet!  It incorporated so many of my favorite things in life – family, john deere tractors and cattle!

Wendy & Matt – sneak peek!
