Defining Moments

Well, my bloggeries have been less frequent lately, so I am thrilled to be able to post a few shots from this great family session yesterday! The boys were a handful, but it made it a lot easier that the session was at their home.  They were easily distracted, but overall I think they actually enjoyed the session. The backyard was perfectly situated for that setting sun rim light that I love…

Wow, I had a really nice combo session with Olivia today. The weather and light were both just ideal for outdoor stuff, which we did at Hickory Hill park. Mom and sis came along, and I got some shots of Olivia with her sister in the studio. A couple from her session will definitely be among my favorites from the ‘09 seniors. I couldn’t resist a bit of fun Photoshop on one of these!

I attended the Pack 215 Rocket Launch in Scott Park yesterday.  Beautiful weather and the kids really had a great time.  You can see how into it some of these guys were in the pictures HERE. Fun shots…..the only thing I wished for were some BIGGER rockets…..hehehe…

Here are a few from Jessica’s studio session earlier today.  Love the hair!!

An evening of killer blues at the Englert last night.  I’ve been a Robert Cray fan for a long time, and was eager to see him.  I had no doubt he would be incredible.  Iowa’s answer to Robert Cray, Kevin BF Burt, was every bit as fun to watch.  What an amazing voice, and a HUGE sound for just one guy with a guitar.  Both of these guys were ON last night, and I’m really glad I got to see them.  Of course, I got a few pics, too!

Megan is an artist who will be attending a graphic design program in New Zealand next year.  How cool is that?? It was an awesome fun session, because Megan really “got” my somewhat sarcastic personality, and was not exactly UN-sarcastic herself.;)  Here’s a few from yesterday:

Heather had some very definite ideas about what she wanted for her senior pics, and they weren’t “typical” at all.  Dad’s firefighter gear and the mermaid costume (NO, not at the same time) were my favorites. Here’s a few outtakes from her session on Monday:

We did this session last Thursday, but I’m just getting to the pics today. Awesome weather this time of year, I just love doing the outdoor stuff in September and October! Fun session, Tyler, thanks!!

Congratulations to Jacob for winning the new iPod Nano! Thanks to all the 2009 seniors who participated, and thanks to Apple for taking back the OLD iPod Nano when I found out they had just announced a newer better version. This thing’s pretty sweet…I kinda wanted to keep it.

We took Henry out to a local prairie for some evening shots, and hit the golden sunset light just right.  He wouldn’t sit still, but that didn’t stop us from getting some great shots, in part thanks to Natasha with some quick work on the reflector! Here’s a few from the session last night:
