Emily Anderson and Aaron Nix

Finally, the real couple...
Emily and Aaron must have been blessed by the weather gods. Waking up on Wednesday I was scrambling for portrait ideas involving an overcast sky. But by the time Aaron was done helping out at a film shoot, the sun was out and the sky was set up for a gorgeous sunset. Both Emily and Aaron were extremely accommodating, even driving out to Branched Oak Lake with us, where Aaron proposed and where they both met for the first time. (The "us" in that sentence, by the way, refers to my awesome assistants who just happen to be roommates Chelle and Breen.)

Good luck to Emily and Aaron in December

James Pauley's awkward afternoon

In case you didn't know, I have some of the best roommates in the world. But this post is about one in particular, James Pauley, a brunette six foot plus Capricorn hailing from Omaha, Nebraska. I was looking for places in the Haymarket to shoot some engagement portraits, and James brought his A-game happy couple modeling. So thank you, James.

Stay tuned for the real couple coming later this week.

Shannon Smith

Is an awkward yet patient model (and I thank her for that), is a lot cooler than she gives herself credit for.

Cat in a sink

What did you expect?

Bea Huff

Can not only read the writing on the walls but also is one of those writing on said walls, is the definition of awesome

Patrick Breen

Drama queen, is a much better photographer than he gives himself credit for.

A steak on her arm and a song in her heart

Went to Sioux City this weekend so my friend Bea and I could get tattoos. She got her sleeve worked on, which involves a tree made of meat.





P.S. Mine is temporary.
