The Purkey Wedding

I had such a blast shooting Danielle and Chris's wedding! They had their ceremony and reception at the Wyldewood Cellars Winery in Mulvane. Since the wedding took place in January, it was too cold for grape vines. Danielle and Chris toughed out the cold and we got some great shots outdoors with some of the Winery's landscaping. 

Trying Out A New Lens

I just purchased the 50mm f/1.4 canon lens and I think I'm in love! This lens will be a great addition to my collection of lenses for weddings and portraits. I can not tell you enough how excited I am to use it this Saturday for a wedding event! I'm sure I will have lots to share!


When I decided to by a prime lens I went back and forth many times trying to figure out how much I should spend and what lens would be the best for the buck! Initially I wanted the L series 50mm f/1.2 but couldn't get myself to spend over $1,500 for it. I love my other L lens and totally think it's worth the money I spent on it, but when I could get another 50mm lens for way less... I had to start comparing reviews. Really, the f/1.4 and f/1.2 don't have a lot of difference other then the f/1.2 being extremely well built with better glass. When it comes down to sharpness and how well they shoot in low light, I've read that both are very compatible. I guess it all comes down to what your willing to spend, but in my case, I saved a lot of money and still get the great quality. However, you do need to know what you are doing with your camera settings to take advantage of this lenses great features.


Here are a couple practice snap shots I took of my two sweet puppies! This is the only one I was able to take of Ratchet before he hid under the table. For some reason both my dogs are camera shy.

The Branizor Wedding

We shot Gina and Tyson's wedding on January 1st 2011...  a perfect start for a new year! Heather and I really enjoyed photographing this couple! They were so genuine with each other, it made our time there so worth it as we got some great shots of the sweet moments between the two.

 They had such a fun wedding party!

 Heather took these two shots... love them!

Rilyn Thomas

I finally had the chance to meet my new little niece Rilyn who is living in Florida! She is so precious! Damon and I got to see hands on what it would be like to have a baby. I can't wait to see her in a few months... and by then she will be so much bigger! Expect to see more shots of Rilyn in the near future!

The Waddell Wedding

This winter wonderland wedding was the perfect one to end the year! Anna and Kenny were fabulous as were their family and friends. We had such a great time photographing their special day at the 20th Century Center down town. 

 I was in love with her shoes... so cute!

 My husband played college baseball with a lot of these guys!!!

 This awesome editorial shot was taken by my lovely associate Janelle!

 

Leah's Winter Session

Leah decided to have another senior session in January at the Great Plains Nature Center. Although it did not feel like winter at all with the temperatures around 70 degrees! It was gorgeous out!
