Lafe | Senior

This past Sunday I had another Senior Photo shoot. This time it was with Lafe, he is basically a step-brother to me. I have known him for a long time! I remember when he was just a little tyke...ok, ok I won't get into little kid stories! Anyway...I can't believe that he is graduating! And he is in the Army! So, he was nice enough to get all decked out in his clothes for me! Here are a few of my favorites

Lafe and Jasmine...she really didn't like the camera so much at first

this is Spike...he is a crazy cute little dog...he was more interested in the fact that there was a lady walking her dog behind us

just hangin' out on the bridge

under the bridge down by the water

these next few are my fav's =)

he's really telling her to stay put here...but its a cute pose

aaaannnnndddd last but not least an army one...he looks so proud in his uniform! =)

For more pics check out Facebook and my website!!!

Here fishy fishy!

A couple weeks ago Mike and I went out on my uncle's boat =)

it was lots of fun...and of course I brought my camera with!

We got lucky and Lake Michigan was really calm...which is good cause I get sea sick =(

but I did find out that taking ginger root helps take that away!

look out...they are watchin' you in the marina!

all the boats liiiinnnnneeeddd up

pretty lure

lots of pretty lures

Amber was really excited to get out on the lake!

Mike helped get everything read for use to get out of the marina

we saw lots of boats as we were leaving the marina...little ones and big ones!

driving to find the perfect fish spot

there were lots of people fishing

Uncle Eric (aka Uncle Fluff Muffin) concentrating really hard on finding that perfect spot

It must have worked cause not long after we got a king salmon!

it started to get dark, so we decided to head in for the night

and this is what happens while I wait for the boys to get the boat put away =)

I think it looks cool!

Shootsac!

Ok, so I have been wanting a Shootsac for  a LONG time...like really long. Ever since I stumbled across them on Jessica Claire's Blog (who, I might add is an amazing photographer). So, I finally saved up enough $$ to buy one! And...o-my-gosh I don't know HOW I lived WITHOUT one! Ahh! It makes changing lenses SOOOO much easier and faster. I can't wait to use it more! Anyway...here are a few photos of it =D

Just got the box in the house...and just before un-boxing it...it was like Christmas morning! =D

the shootsac's come with a black cover but I got an extra cover to go with mine...I had such a hard time choosing it...there are soooo many pretty ones!

woot! official Shootsac logo

ready to go! Got a couple lenses in there and ready for a test run!

Sheboygan County Fair 2009

I can't believe that August was here and gone. The summer seems to have ran away...again! It seems that every year the time between memorial day and labor day gets shorter...even though it doesn't. I love labor day weekend...because its our county fair weekend! I brought horses to the fair for over 10 years thanks to the Sheboygan County Horse and Pony Project. So, now after I graduated from 4-H I still somehow end up spending 4 days at the fair! But, this year I made sure to bring my trusty Canon with me =) I got some cool shots...well, at least, I think so!!

Caitlyn and Lacy in Showmanship

Amber and Diamond in Hunt Equitation

"big green tractor"

Check out more photos from the fair under the photos section on the website!!!

Jasmine | Senior 2010

This past weekend I had the pleasure of shooting Jasmine's photos. She is a senior at Plymouth High School. Jasmine and her mom were troopers this past Saturday! It ended up raining for about the last hour of our shoot =( buuuuuttttt I was still able to get some gorgeous images!! =) So despite the rain and cold and wind it was a fun photo shoot! We started out in Plymouth, then headed to an amazing garden in the Kiel area, swung around to Sheboygan and last, but not least, went to Terry Andrea park.

Definately one of my fav's...I LOVE the colors

Yes...we both laid on the ground for this shot =)

Love the smile and laughter!! (apparently she doesn't like her photo taken....I think she does!)

Tom | Senior 2010

Helllooo!!! This is Tom, he is a Senior this year at Sheboygan Falls High School...which by the way...I can't BELIEVE that he is a senior already. Dang. I have known Tom his whole life. CRAZY...how time flies. Anyway, we spent the afternoon touring Plymouth and Sheboygan to find some neat spots. Here are a few of my fav's from the day!

Probably one of my top picks....both above and below =)

I REALLY like this road in Sheboygan...it makes for wonderful pictures

There is even an old building along this road....I love it. ahh....I think I could take pictures of it all day long!

Another couple of my favorites...I just can't choose one!

Alex Emmer | Senior 2010

On August 15th I also had the pleasure of shooting 2010 Senior Alex Emmer. We had the photo shoot a little later in the evening, which was a good thing because it was stiffling hot that day! Here are a few photos from the evening's shoot:

This is one of my favorites!

Even though the sun was bright I love what the wind did with her hair!
