My dear friend Susanne came and stayed with my family for all of last week. Our families have known each other for about 9 years. I had such a blast with her. These are just a few photos from her visit...Susanne, Joanna and I on our way into Springfield to shop on Wednesday. We had a great time shopping, and found some great things!We told Susanne that on Friday, her Birthday, us girls and her would go to the mall while Mary went to a few appointments. But instead we surprised her and took her out to lunch at Cracker Barrel first with some of her friends for her birthday! She was very surprised and loved it.Our whole group that met for lunch at Cracker Barrel for Susanne's birthday.While we were at the mall during Mary's appointments Susanne and I each tried on wigs that were somewhat a flip-flop of our hair colors. We both agreed that we most definitely looked much, much better with the hair colors that we have.Has anyone ever tried out one of Dillards' beds to see just how com...

Trying out my "new* background stand.
2008-11-12 18:26:00
Last week a friend, who used to be a photographer years ago, gave me his background stand that he didn't want anymore. Thanks. Until now I've never had a background stand! I've just always figured out makeshift stands, depending on where I am.So, on Sunday afternoon I decided that I would try it out. I didn't have a subject, so I used myself. :) Here are a few self-portraits I had fun doing. Some crazy, and some sensible!

Last weekend my cousin Andrea got married in ND. My family had the chance to make a trip up to her wedding. Here are a few snapshots from the wedding. (I wasn't the photographer, but it was fun getting a few shots of the wedding, nevertheless.)The wedding was supposed to be outdoors, but...it rained, so they ended up setting things up underneath a large picnic shelter! The bride was escorted underneath and umbrella before getting to the shelter.John Mark & Andrea leaving!

If you're wondering...
2008-07-29 21:29:00
I figure that some of you all may be wondering why I have not posted recently, well my computer is gone right now. I am hoping that we will have it back in the the next 2-3 days, though. I have a LOT of stuff I need to get done on it as soon as we get it back...so I will be editing photos like crazy to get them ready for the lab, I am supposed to have the portraits printed by Saturday, and I haven't even downloaded the photos to my computer yet! *Yikes*With all the photo editing I must get done, I probably won't have time to post till Sat. or later.Well, I hope to have some photos from sessions I have been doing to you soon, but till then...just have a little patience. :)

Luis & Kelli Dieguez' Wedding Day
2008-07-18 02:22:00
The first few days of July found me in North Dakota hanging out with cousins and preparing for my cousin Kelli's wedding.Kelli hired a professional photographer to do the wedding ceremony and portraits, but she hadn't hired the photographer for the reception, so she had me do the photography at the reception, a relatively easy task, plus, something I love to do! But, mind you, I didn't only take photos at the reception, I couldn't miss the chance to get photos before and during the ceremony, the photographer even allowed me to tag along during their portraits! I got so many photos that turned out really nice I could hardly decide on which ones I wanted to post here, but here is a sampling of my photos from Luis and Kelli's wedding.The Wedding CeremonyKelli swept up the aisle on her father's arm... ...To her beaming groom.Luis' mom made Kelli's amazing dress, oh, and should I mention, she didn't even use a pattern!Prayer for the CoupleMr. and Mrs. Luis DieguezPortraitsThe wh...

Amazing Wedding Photography

This evening I was looking for examples of contemporary and photo journalistic wedding photography, and I came across some really good photography, I especially liked Gavin Wedding Photography , it has a unique perspective that I really like, I would like to add some of his, Gavin's, style into my wedding photography, that is, if I could get a few weddings booked. :)--------------------------------------- --------------Last Saturday I attended my cousin's wedding in ND, they hired a photographer for the wedding, but they had me do the photography at the reception, and as soon as I have the photos on my computer I will try to post some here, but as of right now I am having a few difficulties downloading my photos to my computer, I hope to have it fixed in a few days, though... so, maybe in a few days you can see some photos from my cousin's wedding!--------------------------------- ---------------------...AND as long as I am posting I may as well say that I am working on a business...
