Yes.. that will be the goal for 2010. So first off, here is a wedding from WAY back a couple months..I’m guilty. *!!!*

Anyway, this wedding was held in the Al Ringling Theatre; my first time photographing in a theatre, and it was not easy because it was super dark in side! We went for an outdoor photo session at Devils’s Lake after the ceremony, and it was FREEZING. Luckily, Alicia, the bride, just happen to have loads of fleece jackets and blankets in her trunk….don’t know why, but hey, I’m VERY thankful for them! For the reception, we went to the Baraboo arts Banquet Hall. It had gorgeous wood floors, and a very rustic feel inside.

Enjoy the images!

Our pets, our babies, our lives..love.

January 26th, 2010

Well, the early months of the year tend to be vacation time for wedding photographers in the midwest, because few people get married in the bitterly cold winters here, and equally few people want to take on my suggestion to do winter engagement sessions =).

Well, the early months of the year tend to be vacation time for wedding photographers in the midwest, because few people get married in the bitterly cold winters here, and equally few people want to take on my suggestion to do winter engagement sessions =).

So it gives me a whole lot of time to do things I HAVE to do, but don’t WANT to do – taxes, accounting, paperwork, boohoo. I was buried in WI and IL taxes paperwork..and I can’t get out! Anyway, thought I’d distract myself by posting some recent images of our love in life – our pets and babies (no, not my babies!). Here’s what’s been happening:

Kiwi is sick. She has what looks and sounds like human cold – her meows have a lower pitch – nasal meows..that makes sense? She’s sneezing and coughing, and has HEAVY snot. Its really strange seeing this happen to a cat! Her sneezes are soo soo cute *pppppzzzht!pphhhhszzzzsst!* and since she doesn’t have hands to hold a kleenex to wipe off her snot, she sometimes end up with snot all over her face. Like this one:

Occasionally, friends will ask me to take photos of their pets, or kids, and I LOVE requests like these. Just no pressure, fun, casual, and easy excuse for me to pull out my camera for some practice. Here is Ranger. He’s about twice my weight, and stands taller than me when on his hind legs. He’s VERY strong, VERY active, and can be intimidating (his nose is the size of my fist!) but he’s just one big baby =)
