Now I realize that Thanksgiving is a few weeks away but I thought since it was so close I would give thanks for someone special in my life.  Since I have been so busy editing these past few weeks and haven't had any photos to put up, I am posting some today of some beautiful flowers from that special guy in my life.  You know who you are, lol.  Seriously, I am extremely fortunate to have a wonderful, supportive and caring man in my life that treats me better than I deserve.
Thanks for everything RC!  Love ya!

For any of you couples that are coming to me for engagement and then Wedding Photos, here's an idea for you.  Create a "Save the Date" card with one of your Engagement Photos.  If this is something you are interested in, just drop me a line and I can price them out for you depending on size, quantity, design, etc.  Here's an example of a pretty straight forward "Save the Date" card.

Well here's just another example of one of the advantages of living in the country. The wildlife.  Hayden was cutting hay and came across this coyote pup.  He was pretty scared but I managed to get a nice photo of him.  Now if only I would have got one of the bear I saw near my place the other day.

A few weeks ago I decided that I was going to hire an assistant to help with some book work and tag along to the occasional wedding.  That's when I thought of this great young girl who basically my neighbor and definitely loves the photography world.  She swooped in and caught up all of my book work in no time flat so this past weekend I asked her if she wanted to help me at a wedding.  She jumped at the chance even though she was pretty sure she'd just be lugging equipment, holding reflectors and basically being my gopher, lol.  Well, much to her surprise, right before the ceremony was about to begin, I handed her a camera and said "lets see what you get".  She was a bit nervous but jumped right in and did a great job for me all day.  Especially since I literally gave her a 30 second talk about how to use the camera.  So it was definitely sink or swim and she absolutely swam with the fishes all day.  She did awesome, so I decided that before I post the wedding blog, I will post a few that she took on her own.  I helped a little with the Photoshop but they are her shots and for the first time with a camera in her hands, I thought she did wonderfully.  Here they are Niki.  Great Job!!!

This first image is obviously Niki hard at work.  I don't look quite that good, lol, but I do have about 30 years on her too.

IMG_9362.jpgThis was basically the only shot I asked her to try to get and she did.  I think it was the first or second shot that she took.  Good job Nik!

IMG_9404.jpgNiki captured this great candid shots of the guys as I was posing them.

And  finally Niki caught this great silouette of the bride outside the reception hall.  Again, great job Nik!  You rock!
