Finally, a family photo!

Looks like the comments are accumulating for my last post. 14 comments so far! Remember that the family needs 25 comments for a free 5×7 print, so if you haven’t commented yet, be sure to help them out!

Here is another wonderful family from a shoot a while back. We had a great time out in the country air (minus the slight scent o’ manure–haha!) on some land that this family owns and has plans to build on someday. They informed me that this was their first official family photo shoot EVER. What an honor to be the first photographer to capture this family in photos!

 

 

 

Flu, Flu, go away…

Well, for the last 8 days I have been sick with the flu. The cough, nose, throat, body ache, laying-in-bed kind. And if you read my last post you know that I DON’T HAVE TIME TO BE SICK!!!!! Well, I was finally able to finish these images for these awesome people last night, who have been so kind to me while waiting for their photos (as you can see from their attire, this shoot took place WEEKS ago!)

So a little bit about them…

There are times in our lives when we meet people who are truly deeply in love, deeply connected, and just overall great people. They enjoy each other, they know how to live life to the fullest, and they radiate kindness and peace.

In honor of their coolness, I am going to do a CONTEST. If they get 25 comments on this post, I will give them a free 5×7 print. So help them out, people! Leave a comment so that these folks can have a free photo of their choice!

Riding Shotgun

Here are some great shots from a recent senior shoot. In light of today’s huge snowfall here in WI, I am enjoying this look back at a (much) warmer day when I got to ride shotgun in Zack’s super-cool Jeep…which his mom was driving. Zach was chivalrous enough to drive his mom’s minivan so these two gal pals could take his Jeep for a spin. Thanks, Zack! And don’t worry, you still looked cool driving the van.

Naturally

I am so behind on blogging and editing it is not even funny! This fall has been my busiest since the beginning of Genesis Photography. Thank you so much to all of my clients who have been waiting so patiently for their photos. I promise, they are all coming!!! And Mikayla, I know you are reading this…rest assured that your brother’s photos and your family photos are coming soon…next, in fact!.

For this next shoot, we drove out to Coon Fork County Park at the request of this senior. Her family has tons of special memories there, and now we can add these fun images to their list. It was a perfect evening for photos, and the natural outdoor beauty of our surroundings helped to capture Brittney’s natural beauty and energy. Enjoy!

Something in the water

Chelsea’s one special request for her senior photos was to have some shots taken in water. So we found the perfect spot, set up the shot, and then gradually realized that Chelsea wasn’t alone in the water! About three minutes into shooting, she started laughing nervously and saying “I think something is biting me…” but she bravely shook it off and we kept shooting. It was only a minute later when she realized something was, in fact, biting her, and she immediately got out of the water. What do you think Chelsea, was it worth it? =)

Oh, and a few of the locals wanted to get in on the action!
