Welcome to my blog, viewers.

This blog was created to display my work as an artist and a photographer.
From the moment I first looked through the viewfinder, I've fallen more and more in love with the beauty you can create in touching the shutter and freezing that moment forever. I love photographing people, special moments, and once-in-a-lifetime events that will never replay themselves out of your mind again. Life is special and wonderful & I find there is no better way to contain it and make it last than through photographs.

Comments are always welcome and appreciated!!

Thank you for visiting me today!

The Nesteruk Family 08.13.11

Meet the Nesteruk family...6 kids (well, most of them are adults now :)). 3 married. 1 with 2 children.
Extended families are fun to shoot because there are so many personalities all bunched up together. Every son or daughter is different...not to mention what happens when others start marrying into the family!
So this one was definitely fun...we had a lot of laughs in between the serious family portraits! :))

Christina & Jason 08.06.11

Last weekend I had the privilege of photographing a wedding with a very sweet story.
The very first time they met, Christina & Jason spent a night gazing at the stars and getting to know one another on an old wooden bridge at the Clear Lake State Park campground...& on August 6th, 2011, they said their vows and tied the knot on the very same bridge. :)
Their wedding was simple (as it was on a campground), but elegant (as you can tell by the beautiful bride) and fun (awesome sweets bar! :)).
I fell in love with the little flower girl's light eyes and long, golden hair! Absolutely adorable!
Enjoy a sneak peek into their special day:
