chase + tara: engaged!

A couple weeks ago, I had the extreme pleasure of getting together with two very cool young people getting ready to tie the knot next month! I have known Chase’s family since about the time we moved here over 2 years ago, and on that Saturday, I was also lucky enough to meet the lovely lady that captured Chase’s heart, Tara.

We met on the Kansas State campus and hit a spot I’ve shot at a couple of times and then set off to find some new and very cool spots. And boy, did we ever find some!

I have the feeling this could be a bit longer than what I normally post…I’m just too excited about these. =]

Just can’t get enough of these stairs…or that sunlight!

I wish I could take credit for this next moment, but it was all them. Every tenderness you see is all theirs. I stepped away to change a lens, told them to just hang out for a moment, and this was what I got: a perfect moment.

From here, we ventured off onto the campus more. We hit up one spot that I just love. Every time I saw it, I would think to myself how I would love to shoot someone there, and Chase and Tara worked it for me!

Chase and Tara, I wish you every happiness in the world for your nuptials next month. Thanks for an incredible time!

I posted a couple of images from this session a while back, but I just couldn’t let these next few go unposted.

I’ve been experimenting with a slightly new black and white conversion, and I really like the way these turned out:

Thanks again, guys, for the amazing time!

Just a couple weeks ago, my family and I were at Manhattan’s City Park. It was a sunny and warm Friday evening around sunset, and there was a classic rock cover band playing at Arts in the Park. What more could I ask for?

Oh yeah: a couple of beautiful friends who wanted some family portraits!

Their little boy was not really into the whole idea of standing there while some big guy behind a camera cracked some very funny jokes that apparently went right over his almost-two-year-old head. Even though the jokes bombed, I still managed to get some great smiles out of him.

We got some absolutely gorgeous light that night.

But I think the greatest part of the session was when we ignored the “Keep Out” signs*.

There’s quite a bit more where these came from, so stay tuned!

*Don’t try this at home kids. And definitely don’t tell my mom and dad on me.
