Children

Children are one of God's greatest gifts! What joy they can bring to my day! Today Alisia, Josiah and I flew to Aspen, Colorado to visit family. This was Josiah's first time flying and it was such a delight to see him experience a "first". His nose was smashed against the window the entire time accept for when he would turn around to ask a question about a little noise or if those hills were mountains.

We arrived in Aspen and inside people were shuffling around getting from point a-b. I spotted this little 2 yr. old boy who was watching the hustle bustle. He looked right at me, studied me for a couple of seconds then he smiled from ear to ear. "Banana"!!!! He then proceeded to give me plenty of banana lovins'. If you haven't guessed by now little Sam calls me Banana! There's a cute story that explains why and maybe someday I will share it with you. [Sam is the son of my daughter Jami ]

I will be out of the studio for a week enjoying family and skiing at Snowmass. Rachel will be holding down the ship at the office ( thank you Rachel) and Andrea will be assisting.

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by.

PS...hug a child today.

Cynthia & Ray

Over Christmas Linda photographed a beautiful intimate family affair for Cynthia and Ray. We just wanted to share some of their wedding photographs with you........

I love my job!

One of the greatest things about being in the photography business for umpteen years is watching little ones grow. I love these pictures of Logan from newborn to now.

Hello World!

Well, I am finally a blogger. I have been hearing from my dear friends Rodney and Jodi Gehman for about a year ..."Linda, you need a Blog"! My response was always the same..."I do not have the time". So, it is official and a bit on the dangerous side because I have a tendency to rattle on and on. When I do post I promise to keep them short and sweet.

New Video!

We've been playing around with some new ideas after being to PP of I.....here's a sneak peak....

Linda ROCKED at PP of I!

This past week Linda and Amanda competed at Professional Photographers of Iowa, AND ROCKED on their prints submitted! Linda entered four prints, and Amanda entered one....with over four HUNDRED prints entered, we were HONORED to receive these awards. The hardest part was sorthing through SO MANY beautiful prints to come up with what was entered. We put our heart and soul into ALL of our work and clients. SO it was TOUGH!

On Linda's print "Swept Away," she received:

FUJI Masterpiece Wedding Print of the Year

As you can tell, Emily and Brian were a fantastic couple who had a great wedding! We had a great time with them.
