January Wedding Shows & My Associate Photographers

Well it's wedding show time again! We will be a part of 3 shows in January. The first one is All About Weddings on January 5th at the University Plaza Convention Center in Springfield. Our second show will be Wedding Extravaganza on Jan 19th at the Springfield Expo Center. The final Show is the West Plains show to be held on Jan. 26th in West Plains, MO at the Cowan Civic Center. It will be our first time to be a part of the West Plains show. For the brides who have contacted us and know they want to book you might want to contact us before the show at 417.880.6600 and we can get together and get your date reserved before the shows. We always have brides signing contracts at the shows so it's always good to be on the books ahead of time. I look forward to meeting all of the new brides and I always enjoy seeing my brides at the show!
Also, This will be the first year my Associate Photographers will have their own booth! Scott and Christi are so excited to be a part of the wedding shows. They are two wonderful photographers who have been fully trained by me, I am proud they are both a part of my photography team. They are at a different price point so we can serve brides with different photography budgets, we are so excited about this!

I look forward to seeing you at the shows!

Bambi Cantrell is Blogging!!!

I just had to share this with all of you photographers out there. My dear friend Bambi sent me an e-mail and told me she is now a blogger! I just about fell over! I have wanted her to blog for some time now so needless to say I am thrilled. She is one of the most talented photographers in the industry and was voted one of the top 10 wedding photographers in the world by American Photo magazine. So what more can I say besides check out Bambi's blog and drop her a comment welcoming her to the world of blogging! ;-) This is truly a gift to the photography community that she is sharing her talent with us. Thanks Bambi! Here is the link to Bambi's blog

Great First dances

Okay so I have never had this happen at a wedding, but I hope I do! ;-) (hint,hint)

URBAN CARLEE!

Okay so I love,love,love photographing children! But I want to photograph who they are not just take a picture of them. I want parents to see the son/daughter they love and know when they look at our work. There is such a difference between capturing them and taking a picture of them. Children are so in tune with everything and they know if you are just trying to make them do what YOU want. So to get really great pitures they have to love what it is you are doing and have FUN! Here is an Urban session with one of my family clients. I have been photographing this little girl for a few years and I love every moment I get to spend with her, I hope you enjoy looking at what she and I created together! Thanks to Carlee and her wonderful parents!

Custom Christmas Cards!

Our Families have been keeping Kyla busy designing their Christmas Cards. Thought we might share our favorites!

Megan & Derek

Just thought we would share some photos from our November 3rd wedding! Megan and Derek had a beautiful Autumn themed wedding. It was perfect that the leaves were still on the trees but had the bright gorgeous colors that we love. This is a great couple and we had a lot of fun with them. Doesn't Megan make a beautiful fantastic Bride!
