secret location 'II'

This is one of our favorite locations. We have been shooting here for a number of years and it changes every year. There used to be a tree with a rope swing that went out into the river. That tree is now just some more fallen logs on the river bank. We like this spot so much so that we have shot out there several times over the past few weeks and will be going out there again this week. It is a great place to show the fall colors.
The first set of images is from a session we had with a great family. We have known the Christiansen family for many years. We enjoy every time we are able to work with them.
Cole is going to be turning 8 and getting baptized, we took some photos of him along the river bank and then the rest of the family joined us. I plan on doing a separate post for his baptism images!

The second group of images is from an engagement session for Angela and David. We are photographing their wedding in a couple of weeks and put off their engagement session as long as we could in order to get some fall colors!

We got out to the river and I had a ton of equipment from ladders to boom arms to light stands and reflectors. We wanted to get some cool images of them in the river setting as well as some images of them having a good time. I think we all had a pretty good time. Desiree was the only one of us that didn't get into the water. In fact, Angela and David spent probably 20 minutes in the water while we took photographed them. They were great sports and it really worked out well!!
Look for their wedding images coming soon...

Jen and Steve you have a beautiful family! I can't believe how much they have grown up. On the second group of pictures it is so amazing how beautiful and different you make individuals with the same river or mountains. Beautiful and fun couple. From rori

Dear Desiree and Seth:
We sooo enjoyed our time with you. We could not have asked for Anything More. It was truly a joy just being ourselves with you. We showed the slide show to David's mom and dad as soon as we got home and it brought tears to their eyes - which brought tears to our eyes! We can't wait for Saturday - you have such a passion for capturing life. We are honored to have you capture the beginning of ours. Sincerely, David and Angela
