Another beautiful woman I had the privilege to photograph!

Oh, and she is brilliant too... not just everyone has a PhD laying around....

Day 288

Day 288

It doesn't happen often, but when it does, there is a physical sensation that reverberates through my soul: the moment when I have captured magic.

Today was this young man's senior photo day.  He wanted to start in uniform.  As I looked through my camera and captured this, the "that's it!' feeling occurred. 

It was in his eyes... the story that needs to be told.  He, like so many young people, for each their own reasons, have signed up to serve this country of ours. This crazy little country, that seems about as stable and rational as hormonal teenager, is what they have chosen to protect and serve.  While we can all sit and be keyboard warriors, jumping behind whichever view point we wish, there exists young men and women, who, everyday answer the call to sign up and defend us.

Wow.

Just Wow..... I am humbled and grateful for young men like Jared.

Today's travels took me into Minnesota to photograph this beautiful family!  This session was the result of an auction win at the annual VCSU scholarship auction earlier this year.  What a beautiful farm and lovely family to work with!  It was well worth the drive!

Day 273

I had the absolute privilege of photographing this little doll on her 1st birthday today!! It was apparent that, already, this little girl likes her music! When she got a bit fussy, all it took was some music and she was smiling and dancing again! She knows what we sometimes forget: sometimes you just gotta dance!

Another awesome senior shoot today! Tyler exuded that quiet, gentle ruggedness with just a hint of a sly smile.  His Mom was along and it was a great time with both inside and and outside shots, complete with some with his rocking VW bug! Thanks Tyler and JoAnn for an allowing me to photograph you in my images!!

Day 263

Day 263

I have met some pretty cool people in my time living in Valley City, and Gail is one of them! She is a woman after my own heart being a nurse and an artist/potter! She was in need of some business marketing photos and we took advantage of the beautiful evening to shoot and chat. Thank you Gail! It was so good for my soul to do what I love to do!
