2011 - Our Best Year Yet.
With every new year, we always like to look back at the previous twelve months, reflect on what we've learned, figure out what we can do better, and enjoy remembering the highlights. We could not be more thankful for the year we had in 2011. January brought the birth of our first son. This summer we met some of the most wonderful people and have many clients that we remain close friends with. We were so blessed to be able to take some great photos for people. Cameron's little sister got married. Holden's first cousin was born. In December Mindy was able to quit her full-time job to dedicate her time to Holden and the business. Not too shabby... 2011 was such a great year, and here's a taste of some of our favorite images that we created last year. If 2012 is even better (and it's already looking that way), we're in for a real treat!
Lara + Joel // Chicago Engagement Photography
This has to go down as one of our favorite sessions ever. Lara + Joel had us come to Chicago (where Joel lives currently), to get some shots of them... well, in their natural habitat you could say. First of all, we absolutely love traveling, and Chicago is one of our favorite cities to visit. But even more than that, we love it when our engagement sessions are all about capturing our couples doing what they love to do. Anyone can take artistic looking pictures at sunset in a field, but it's another thing all together when we get to highlight individual personalities and tell a story with our images. We love shooting "you," in whatever form that means. We hope you guys enjoy these as much as we loved being there and shooting them. Can't wait to do a wedding in Chicago someday!
Meghan + Steve // Dayton Engagement Photography
I love sessions like this. We met up at Smith Gardens in Oakwood, which is like 5 minutes from our house. We got started fairly late, so we only had just over an hour of shooting time. Sometimes we tend to lolly-gag and shoot for way too long. When we're running out of light we're forced to think quickly and we're usually more creative. It was a beautiful fall evening and Meghan + Steve were a pleasure to work with. Can't wait for their wedding next summer!
