The Birth of Leah Ruth

July 22nd, 2010

July 20th 2010 at 5:30 p.m. my life was changed forever.

My first little girl, Leah Ruth Inskeep was born into this world. I never understood when people said that the happiest day of their life was when their child was born. I think the only way to really understand that is to experience it yourself.

I’ve taken this entire month off but my schedule gets hecka crazy starting next month with wedding season going into full swing.

I documented the entire experience and put the pictures into a Facebook gallery to share them with family and friends. You can see the pictures here.

Rachel & Chris : Davenport Wedding at Renwick Mansion

June 28th, 2010

I love the simplicity of this picture. This photograph is an example that you don't need to get complicated to have a wonderful portrait.

Rachel and Chris’s wedding was very unique and ton of fun to shoot. Renwick Mansion in Davenport is an awesome location and I can’t wait to shoot there again!

We didn’t run around to location after location taking pictures. They truly wanted me to document there day, how it happened. We spend roughly 10-15 minutes doing some artistic portraits of the two of them. The rest of the day I was on my own to document their day the way I saw it through my camera. I think the results speek for themselves!

Here are a couple of my favorite images. More images from their wedding can be found on my website here.

Casey & Bruce : Quad Cities Wedding

June 27th, 2010

A small picturesque ceremony in Geneseo with a fall-themed reception set in the hills of TPC golf course. The cozy ceremony was at Muzzy Chappel in Geneseo, IL. Although not much room in the chapel, it was very intimate and you could feel the energy as Casey and Bruce exchanged their vows.

As I was following Casey and Bruce from the ceremony to the reception, their car did a sudden stop and pulled off the road in the middle of no where. My first though was car trouble… maybe a flat tire…? Wait, will I get to take a picture of a bride changing a tire in a wedding dress…? NOPE! Next thing I know we’re trotting off into the corn field to get some amazing portraits!

To view more images from their wedding, see the gallery on my website.

Jenna & Jason : Quad Cities Wedding

June 26th, 2010

Jenna and Jason were awesome people to work with! Getting ready shots were done at her house and afforded me plenty of time to get some great intimate shots with the bride and her mother. Those moments just can’t be rushed.

To some more shots from their day, visit their galley here.
