Trash the Dress

I am dying to do this!

Go to www.trashthedress.com and check out some of the images.

This is my invitation to all my former brides, and blog readers who’s weddings I didn’t do… If you are willing to get down and dirty, wear that dress one last time and go crazy with some bridal meyhem, call me, email me, or stop in the studio.

If I shot your wedding, this session is FREE, if I didn’t, oh, it’s FREE to you too!

I wanted to check with Kasey and be sure it was ok to post some of her maternity session. She was one smokin’ hot mama, and she has a gorgeous baby girl!

Happy Grand Opening Day

Somer said “Hey, today is Grand Opening Day!”

We said “Huh?”

Somer replies “You know, where you put flowers on people who died!”

Us “Oh, you mean Memorial Day?”

Somer “Oh! yeah!”

So, Happy Memorial Day to you all, from Somer.

john + jane :: 05.26.07

Can I start again with “I love my job”. These guys were a hoot! It’s so much fun to have a bridal party that is ready for fun. I overheard a girl ask Jane “Are you sick of pictures yet?” I hope no one gets sick of pictures! Our formal session latest, oh, about 2.5 seconds. (Three poses!) and the rest of the time was the couple being themselves, having a great time with their family and friends and enjoying each other!

Jane and John were willing to do whatever, and I hope everyone had a great time.

And, it was nice to be in Pierre for a change. Love when “travel” to the wedding takes 90 seconds.

todd + jessica :: 5.19.07

I love my job. Jessica made my day so easy. We made photos fun and a priority, without taking up a lot of the day or making them a chore. The bridal party was so funny and so fun to work with. Jessica was beautiful! She concentrated on so many details that made the wedding so unique, elegant and purely “todd and jessica”

It was a wonderful day. I had a really hard time picking favorites.
