SUPERHERO BROTHERS & TANK!

Batman and Spiderman showed up for a photo shoot! I absolutely love these little guys! They are so damn cute! 

We did their photos at a small skate park at Green Lake Park. They brought their bikes, and their dog Tank! Don't you just love Tank too?! He's such a beautiful dog.

It was a cold and super windy day. We were working so fast to get these guys back in the warm car. Mom came to the rescue to get Tank to stay in place. As you can see, they are all looking out the same way. Mom was holding a nice warm blanket and snacks! I love this!

MIRROR MIRROR

Here is another image of Christina on her wedding day!

This was taken while Christina was getting ready at the Avanti Mansion. Mom was doing up the back of her dress and Neal asked her to look over her shoulder. I happened to be shooting near this mirror and caught Christina at a different angle. This mirror was pretty neat too with the series of three circles. 

It's so fun to get different images and angles from Neal or whoever may be taking the lead. Always keep your eyes open to your surroundings as well. You never know what you might see!

BIG BROTHER AND BABY SISTER

We recently did a family portrait session in Neal Urban Studio!

The family just welcomed a baby girl, so we wanted to have her and her big brother in a photo together. And so close to Christmas, why not have them in their Christmas pj's! 

We thought it would be really cute to lay them down head to head. I love how big bro is smiling at his baby sister and their hands are almost in the same position. You can see her eyes are open and looking right back. I love it!

While we were waiting....

Here is Cara! This was taken at the JW Marriott Resort and Spa in Las Vegas!

This was late after the reception had ended, close to midnight. Neal, myself and majority of the wedding party were waiting to catch a shuttle to the hotel on the strip. While we were waiting, Cara was dancing around the hotel in the hallway. The hallways were very long with some nice lighting from above. We had packed up all of our gear but Neal put together one of the cameras and used the natural lighting in the hallway. He directed Cara to stay close to the wall and had her walk like she was on the catwalk back and forth! Her bridesmaids were telling her to "strut her stuff!" and Cara was having a great time with it. This was one of the images he took! It looks like it was planned, but it was spur of the moment and happened within the matter of 30 seconds. Great job strutting your stuff Cara! :-)

MAGAZINE GROOM

Here is Justin's solo from his wedding! 

Doesn't he look so good! While I stayed with the ladies, Neal snuck over to the see the guys. He found a spot with great lighting for Justin. Neal had Justin pose in his three piece suit. This pose definitely matched his look!

We know weddings are mostly about the bride! But we always need to show the groom some love!

PEEKING THROUGH THE LEAVES

I love this image from Erica and Justin's engagement session!

They also had their shoot in the Village of Lewiston. But this looks completely different from the recent images you saw from Kelsey and Jarrett. We love shooting through trees or leaves in the foreground. The yellow leaves are so pretty paired with the colors of their outfits!

HAPPY WEDDING DAY KELSEY & JARRET!

Kelsey and Jarret are getting married today! They are getting married at Salvatore's Garden Place Hotel.

One last image from their engagement session in the Village of Lewiston. I love when people bring a few props for a save the date. This was super cute. I love the black and gold. We hung it on a telephone pole and had Kelsey and Jarrett in background out of focus. I really love this!

Love & Laughter

Kelsey and Jarrett are getting married tomorrow!

We go back to their engagement session in the Village of Lewiston. We took a walk around the area and just stopped along the way. We came across these beautiful green vines and had to stop. Kelsey and Jarrett had such a great connection between one another. They were always laughing and smiling. 

We can't wait until tomorrow to capture their very special day!

Chasing the light at Knox Farm!

We are taking you back to Tiffany and Colin's engagement session at Knox Farm State Park!

The sun was setting and we were in a hurry to capture it. On the way, the light was pouring in between the barns. We had to stop. Tiffany and Colin faced each other and they were glowing from the sun light. I love their shadows! I love the vibrant red color of the barn, mixed with the dark colors of the clouds. Then there is the blue from the sky peeking through. Everything works so well together and it turned out beautiful!

RAINY ENGAGMENT SESSION

Erica and Justin's engagement session started out beautiful. There was no chance of rain in the forecast and it was pretty mild out. After an outfit change down by the Lewiston waterfront, the wind picked up, and it started to rain. We actually had a few minutes of snow at one point and it was right about the time this photo was taken!

We all made a decision to try and finish the shoot. Well, I am sure glad we did! This image is so cool. We only had Erica and Justin out in the rain for a few seconds and then they took cover. The only building with a roof was the Silo Restaurant. It did the job. Once Neal and I had lighting ready to go, we called them to run out. Erica and Justin had a lot of fun with it too! 

I love how the rain/snow mix is all lit up and Erica and Justin have big smiles and laughs. Thank you Erica and Justin for toughing out the unexpected bad weather!
