Julia

I had the pleasure of heading deep into the country to photograph sweet little Julia - what a doll! -  on their family farm. The weather was perfect and we just had the most fun dressing up and capturing all the beauty! Even the special family dog Ricky did so well for the portraits.

Meet the Photographers!

This will be a unique post, since the portraits this time are of us, Dwight & Beth Duckstein! We had a friend, who is also a photographer, run our camera for us while we got to try to pose and smile and all those other things we make all of you go through! Fall has been rainy and chilly, so we were glad to have a sunny day for our pictures. We hadn't counted on the wind, though! The boys had chattering teeth, so we kept it short, but here's the Duckstein family, on the other side of the camera for a change :) So here we are, Dwight & Beth, Phillip (4) and Jacob (2). We've been married 6 years come January and will celebrate our first year of living in Maquoketa in February. We really love the area and are amazed at all the wonderful things God had in store for us here!

Renee, Class of 2010

I had a wonderful day with 2010 senior Renee. It was so easy to capture great portraits of her, both indoors and out! Here's a few of my favorites from the day. Both her car and gun added neat elements to the outdoor portraits and it was lots of fun creating these images!
