I went out to Taylor’s farm to get a few photos of Taylor in one of their wheat fields before they harvested it.  The next night we drove to Harrold, and took some photos on main street and then out to finish the session at Tumbleweed Lodge  Taylor’s little sister and her mom came along to join in the fun. Taylor’s little sister helped her sister pose and kept her laughing at her antics in the

On a recent visit to Rochester, Minnesota to spend some time with my daughter, my niece traveled from Minneapolis to get her Senior Portraits taken.  Of course the weather was hot and humid, but she was a trooper.  She is adorable and we had so much fun.  Nicole my daughter was our guide for cool locations.  Some of the photos were taken at the  Plummer House  and Gardens in Rochester.  We also

In early June I went to visit my daughter in Rochester Minnesota.  While I was visiting I did my first baby shoot.  The proud parents are my niece Amber and her boyfriend Darryl.  Many thanks to my assistant Nicole, for helping me shop for props and being in charge of lights and picking up after me.  Meet Trey!

This post has been a long time coming.  I won’t say more.  I will say that I had a lot of fun playing the role of paparazzi!  Selena Gomez was the celebrity birthday girl!  I made this cute little storyboard to document her special day.  Selena, one thing for sure, you know how to STRIKE A POSE!

I am going to embark on a project of a picture a day, hoping to help me better my photography and have some fun and creative challenges along the way.  The first week of pictures a day are some baby owls in a tree at the Tumbleweed Lodge.  They are so cute and their downy feathers are being replaced by adult feathers.  There are three baby owls total.  The two that are always together, are kind

I did a quick photo shoot with Tiffany. Miss Rushmore to get some head shots for advertising for the Miss SD America Pageant Book.  We had a great time and Tiffany is a great model.  Shout out to Tiffany’s mom for holding my soft box during the shoot.  Tiffany will be competing June 23rd – 25th at Hot Springs, SD.  Good Luck Tiffany!

Spring teased us for a couple days here in good old South Dakota.  It was in the 70’s and then old man winter was not done with us yet. Hopefully the robins won’t head South thinking enough already!

Tamron is giving away a great all around lens, the 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD (Piezo Drive). Special piezoelectric technology now delivers faster, quieter precision auto focusing. Tamron’s exclusive tri-axial VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization.  I think you could leave this baby on your camera 24- 7!  It looks to be a real workhorse!

I  absolutely love Florabella textures and actions, they add some really artistic tones and textures giving your photos a very unique look and feel.  Check them out here http://www.florabellacollection.com.  On this photo I used 2  textures and one overlay from the textures II set as well as the action Pandora with reduced opacity from the Lux actions set.

I drove out to Bailey’s house for her senior shoot.  Bailey lives out in the country on a farm and it is beautiful country out there.  Bailey is a multi talented girl, not only is she very smart, she handles a basketball and volleyball as well as she handles her horses.  No doubt we will be hearing more from Bailey.  Thanks Janet and Eric for your help.  Here are some of my favorites from Bailey’

Ashley is a beautiful girl with amazing eyes and beautiful skin.  We met in Brookings and my son Casey was my assistant for the day.  We started at the gardens, braving the swarms of mosquitoes, then later headed down town.  It was crazy days so there were a lot of people out and about.  We took some photos by the old Railway Station with Ashley in her prom dress.  She looked amazing confirmed by

Eric from HHS had a cool shoot around the Highmore area.  We started out at the track and football field.  Eric was such a good sport as I made him jump over the hurdles until I got the shot.   This was easy for Eric as he was the State Champion  in the 110 meter hurdles this year.  Eric’s mom was my voice activated lighting stand, she was  great help.  Despite having to douse ourselves with

I had a fun filled two days shooting Danielle’s senior pictures.  Despite the blistering heat, Danielle managed to look gorgeous.  We split Danielle’s session in two days, starting at Downs Marina.  We then headed down to Pierre Street, and ended the day at the good old Missouri River on the Causeway with a beautiful sunset for a backdrop.  Danielle’s mom was my assistant for the the shoot  and

Dusting off this blog and going to get after it.  No more lame, I will start posting on Monday excuses.  I have many photos to post, so I will start off with some Holiday pictures I took for my husbands family.  Our niece Becky and Mike and their two boys, Rydell & Brock.  My sister in law Cathy and her husband Scott and the very photogenic Ella.  We did these shoots on the fly, but got some

I was out taking photos this weekend for a photo challenge I was planning on entering. I ran across these big boys just waiting for me to take their photo. Thank goodness I was not wearing red. I also got a quick shot of these 3 curious horses about a block from my house.

Sorry I have been such a pathetic blogger. I will make a conscious effort to post more photos and keep my blog up to date. I will be taking some senior pictures in the coming weeks, and will post highlights for all to see.

All my kids made it home for the annual 4th of July celebration.  My son brought home his friend Anthony who lives in Texas.  The kids had fun 4 wheeling, visiting with classmates, going to West Bend Recreation Area for some swimming,  the annual fireworks display and ended the day with some dancing at the street dance on Main.   This wagon was restored by Mark Hanson from Rochester, Minnesota

I am a self taught amateur photographer and everything I have learned has come from books, online resources, and hands-on practice with my camera, through which I have documented my family members' lives.   As I was paging through my grandmother's old photos dating back to the early 1900’s, I realized why I enjoyed taking photographs as well as looking at other peoples' work; my grandmother's
