I never got a chance to do Elainie’s Senior Pictures, so when we did Bennett Family Pictures Day, I also took a few pictures of Elainie. Here are a few of those pictures:

This post is somewhat bittersweet as these pictures were taken before my Mom’s diagnosis and while she was still being treated by the incompetent doctor. However, I want to remain positive and since things are progressing positively, there is no reason to dwell on the negative.

When she saw these pictures she was surprised by how thin she was in them, so we will be retaking these pictures again in the Spring after she has been able to put some weight back on and before Johnathan leaves for the Air Force.

Probably sometime around the time of Onion Ring Night.

I took the pictures this year for the Computer Mine’s annual Christmas Card. I did not edit or select the pictures for the actual card, so these pictures will differ from the card.

Here are a few pictures of my fellow miners…

I did a little work for the Howards recently. Here are a few examples:

A few weeks back I did some Senior Pictures for Logan. Here are 15 randomly selected pictures from that photo shoot.

There are about 200 more images for your perusal in the Logan Kahler Album in the Store:

Next week’s Wednesday will involve a family portrait photo shoot.

Right before I went on vacation a month or so ago I did the 3 month photography for Scottie D. and Melissa’s new family member. I was still struggling from the equipment problems, but I think we did some good work.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Next week’s random Wednesday photo collection will cover my vacation, well the biggest part of my vacation.

A few weeks back I was commissioned to photograph Micky and Robyn’s progeny Katelyn. I was hampered slightly by some technical problems, I still think we did some good work. Here are some images from that photo shoot:

I love how every portrait session I do is completely different. This is definitely the first one that involved a baby touching a live fish. I hope it isn’t the last!

Next week’s Random Wednesday will be more baby pictures.

Now that the State Fair has ran its inevitable course, I can reveal what pictures I entered in the State Fair Photography Salon.

Drenched in Loneliness (Honorable Mention Iowa Places)


I Recommend Pleasant


Must Be Truth


The Girl in the Blue Skirt (2nd Place Black & White Flower)

I guess this means I need to start focusing some effort on the Pufferbilly Days Photo Contest.

I took a few pictures of Dawn’s grandchild Kayelee a few weeks back. Here are a few of them:

Despite the fact that I’ve never had a photo shoot so beset by so many technical problems, I think we did some good work.

This also seems to be a pretty random collection of photos. Some of these pictures were taken by Teresa.

These pictures come from:

Sadly My Photoshop Skills Haven’t Improved


This is the 1st picture I ever had accepted to the State Fair.
















This autographed picture was given to me by Steph. Simon Estes pulled it out of his trunk when she asked for it.

Next week’s folder will be:
