TGIF...so ready!

This was a week for me that went so fast, yet I was so busy. Which I'm sure brings me to this point, there was so much going on that it just went 'poof' and it's gone! The worst part is my cupboards, fridge, diapers and cleaning supplies are dwindling to nothing! Shopping for groceries tonight at 9:30 was just not happening, I guess it'll be an early trip tomorrow.
Today was a day for computer work and it was all book work, yuck! Yes, I wait until the last minute to do things like this. But I'm happy to report my 2nd Quarter taxes are now paid ;) Plus I was also able to finish disc one of Clint & Nicole Pavlicek's wedding. Disc one contains the pre-ceremony through the receiving line and I'm really happy I got this project half way completed this week. I also finished up the Dillinger Family Session and Sarah Meier's Session completed as well!

Yesterday I had the opportunity to shoot one of Dickinson's newest married couples: Alyssa & Henry. They met at DSU so we were able to shoot there and a few other locations in Dickinson. I also had a Senior Session with Kari Wandler and we had a blast. The weather straightened out enough for us to get outside photos after the morning rain showers that came through.

Tonight I'm recharging and packing up for the wedding ceremony of Olya & Trent tomorrow! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I'll have some sneak peeks coming soon from all of the new sessions I've had recently and last weekends weddings of Haylee & Jayden Peters and Gregg & Nicky Kadrmas!
Have a Blessed evening,

Sarah:: Smiles + Sunshine

My cousin Sarah is the most amazing person, if you know her you know how much she lights up a room. She has a giggle that is distinctly hers, a smile that's always there and an amazingly large heart! I love her so very much and I was really happy when she called me and asked to get her photos taken.
She explained to me how she really needs to get a good photo on her parents wall and it's time to just do it. Well Sarah, I hope you have a hard time picking which one to print!
Here are just a few highlights from our session:

One of my top favorites!

My B had to take pics too!

My absolute Favorite!

Love you Sarah and thanks for your wonderful smile and all the fun we had taking your photos!
Have a Blessed Day,

Dillinger Family Photos

I had the opportunity to work with Delannee, Danny and their two kids. Thanks to her mom, I had some really great props and backgrounds to use!
Here are a few photos from our session:

Dillinger Family Photo!!!

 

My favorites...I love gravel roads, green grass and blue skies!
I also had a cute kissing photo here too but must've not uploaded that one.

I just love her silly smile, she was loving the photos!

My first sun burst photo and the beautiful Sophie smile makes this a great photo!

Even though Brady wasn't having too
much fun this is my favorite photo. The
clarity and foreground/background blur is perfect (in my eyes).

Such an adorable photo! Like I said, great props to use!
Thanks Grandma!!!

Aww...I just love this photo! Brady and Sophie were so cute!

Time Goes By

Oh my has time gone by since my last blog. I knew it had been some time but I'm honestly a little shocked at how much time has gone by.
I had a stressful week leading up to my vacation with the girls, but it was all completely worth it as we needed some time away. We took a trip to visit my sister and her family, K & B had their first airplane ride and they both did really well. My little B, of course, was very ready to get off that plane when we landed and she only cried from landing to getting off the plane. So it went rather smooth, I thought.
We were able to take in Minnesota Zoo, which the girls absolutely loved! This was K & B's first zoo trip and they had such a super time.

After I made it back home there was so many things that needed attention and every weekend as been booked solid, hence why I haven't blogged in FOREVER :-D

I spent the next couple of days preparing for New England's 125th Celebration and All School Reunion. I was set for having two photo sessions already for the weekend and a few people who called and were interested. We had another awesome weekend, met up with lots of classmates and met a ton of new people as well. The two family sessions went so great and it's in the bin for editing.

Then last weekend was a crazy busy weekend with the Marriage Ceremony uniting Haylee Volesky and Jayden Peters on Friday in Dickinson; then a drive to Bismarck for the Ceremony of Nicky Stevens and Gregg Kadrmas. I spent Sunday with the family trying to regroup and recharge for the work week and here I am now.

I've got quite a few irons in the fire right now and projects I'm working on include:
The wedding ceremony of Nicole & Clink Pavlicek - I'm currently editing this right now and I'm at the Homily right now. I also just finished up the Dillinger Family Pictures and those will be the next post.

If you are wondering where things are at on list here it is:
-Gumke Wedding, Glendive MT
-Gion Wedding, Richey & Glendive, MT
-Benson Wedding, Dickinson ND
-Meier Pictures
-Miller Baby Pictures
-Lutz Family Photos
-Nielson Family Photos
-Haylee & Jayden Peters Wedding, Dickinson ND
-Gregg & Nicky Kadrmas, Bismarck ND
-There are also multiple dub projects I'm working through all the editing as well.

Just to explain how I go about editing: Everything is edited in the order it was shot. If there is a time when I can edit while I've got the kids or other things are going on (multi-tasking) that is when I will work on photos and so called bump them up the list, since most of the time photo sessions do take a little less time than editing video. However when I have the afternoons and the specific times booked out for edit time, it is then back to prioritized by order it was shot.
Thank you to all my clients and I greatly appreciate everyone who I've worked with!
Have a Blessed Day and thanks for the emails to those of you who missed my blogs!
