Technical Difficulties

So I have gotten my new website up and running but now I am having issues with my proofing. It seems that the company who was making my site go live may have deleted that folder so…..I am very frusturated and am trying to get this resolved. I will let you all know when it is up and running again. Thanks for your patience!!!

UPDATE: Proofing is now working!!! YAY!!

 

David Is Graduating!

So this past weekend I photographed David for his senior pictures. David is a really cool guy and he loves BMX, so we headed to the skate park and then we wandered to an old warehouse downtown for the rest of the pics. It was a new location for me and I loved it. Here are some of the images.

 

Liz + Nathan Are Married!

This past Saturday Liz and Nathan were married in Fargo. They are such a great couple and once you meet them you just know that they are perfect for each other. Everytime they looked at one another they just lit up. Nathan was so excited for his wedding day that he tried on his wedding ring multiple times during the week and even brought 3 different suits to the church because he couldn’t decide which one to wear!

I just love this grouping of Liz getting ready!

Liz’s sister Amanda was fantastic! She is so funny and the poor thing couldn’t stop choking up during her speech. It was a very good speech though. She even had me tearing up and that’s not very easy since I’ve heard myself many, many speeches!

Liz and Nathan, I had a great time at your wedding! I hope your first week of marriage has been fantastic!

Stephanie & Jonathan are engaged!

Last week I photographed Stephanie and Jonathan’s engagement pictures. We did something different (which is great!) and we went to Thunder Road Fun Park. It was the site of one of their first dates and the place they got engaged. They told me a very funny story about one of their first dates. Stephanie accidentely hit her ball into a water hazard and Jonathan, being the gentleman that he is, fished it out. As he handed back to Stephanie he said, “It’s okay. It’s just a little moist.” Now Stephanie hates the word moist. I hate the word moist. It’s just an icky word. Stephanie let Jonathan know right then and there that he was never to say that word in her presence again! Jonathan thought he didn’t have a shot after that. But alas, they are now engaged and soon to be married! Here are a few images….

Stephanie’s victory dance!

We then headed over to the bumper cars!
