So, April and this darling hit it off from the beginning, and it smooth sailing from there. Brilee is turning 2, and had been prepped all week to meet "Mrs. April." Brilee was perfect. She proudly showed us her stuff throughout the entire shoot, not even caring about the heat or the weeds we put her in ,or even mommy crying as she watched. When viewing these in post-process, we were amazed that we got so many great shots in under an hour...it was hard not to post them all:)

S.W.A.T. is a youth group from Kennett, MO. They saw our work and wanted something rocked out to hang in their newly-built youth room. These are full-size, 24x36 posters that may help out! It was a very hot day and we had only minutes to get some shots in...The underlying concept behind the "construction-site" was their idea...they are a group who is "under construction." They were a great bunch of kids and we wish them all the best...

We did a short photo shoot a few months back of Jake, and his prized shotgun. It was an adventure, climbing into the thick brush and under a bridge that was home to at least a thousand hornet's nests. We managed to grab a few frames without disturbing anything and emerged unscathed. Mom thinks the final results were worth the risk...

From a photographer's point-of-view, these are good pictures. Us "pixel-peepers" could closely examine them, judging their angles, composition, lighting, tone, and all the other things that we think make a good picture. However, to a dad, no matter what the final result may be, these are priceless images.

Meet Addison, one-half of our daily inspiration, dancing with mommy! This little angel has taught us to much in her nearly one-and-a-half years of life. And her favorite thing, aside from shoes, purses, and "bubba," is to dance. It was quite an honor to be the one behind the camera for these quick shots...

Addison has taught us to dance...

Kyle is another graduate-to-be, roaming the halls of Armorel High School until his class retires in 2010. Kyle is a one-of-a-kind guy who nothing less than musically inclined. We had a fun shoot, dodging a few rain clouds, and putting together a good book of images.
