In the images you can see different little touches that have been well thought out to give the guests here those little touches of home that they may have lost or forgotten. Besides that, but this facility is equipped with state-of-the-art technology that makes life significantly easier for elderly folks who may otherwise have a hard time.

Good work Sunrise… keep doing what you’re  doing. Thanks for letting me observe and capture all the things that you do to honor those who brought us to where we are today. Much love.

This was another great day shot with my good friend Joel Cookston. The weather was not very cooperative, so we had to stay indoors for the majority of the time, but when you’re at BluFalls, there are plenty of places to shoot. Rachel and Brandan were so much fun to work with… both were full of life and you could just see the love that was going on between the two of them. It was terribly obvious in the way they stared at each other. Thanks for letting Joel and I shoot you on your special day… it was a blast.

Oh the Indianapolis Zoo… what a beautiful location for a wedding. This is the second time that my good friend Joel Cookston and have had the opportunity to shoot here and it does not disappoint. Heather and Nate… and their entire group of family and friends… were absolutely a blast to work with. Nate and his groomsmen were cracking us up all day long and Heather and that umbrella… ridiculously gorgeous. Thanks again for letting us be a part of your special day.

The images above were shot in the company of my good friend Joel Cookston, and as always, we had a blast capturing this wedding day. This one was a it more special for me though. I just have to say that these two were out of this world gracious… They just radiated with appreciation for everyone that was involved in their special day. They were just a good group of folks ot get to know. I just wanted to say that… Thanks for letting us hang out.

This year at our annual family reunion we had a few special guests. A few of my cousins and their kids came from far and wide to get together and reconnect with the fam’. We all had such a great time catching up at the reunion and at the world famous 4-H Fair in Alexandria, Indiana. Much love to everyone that came so many miles to hang out. Love you all.

Okay… so in the past I’ve talked about weddings where we felt like we were part of the family… this one may have taken first prize. My good friend Joel Cookston and I had the opportunity to meet up with Michael and Bridget to capture their day and had the greatest of times. The two of them had this genuine love about them and it seemed to spread throughout their friends and families. Everyone met us with open arms and let us have a peek into their amazing lives. Just wanted to say thanks again…

From time to time I’m just going to add some random images of my son… for those of you who have never met him, he is the greatest kid the world has ever seen… okay, I’m a bit bias, but he is a ball of fun and brings all kinds of smiles to my face. Enjoy the images.

This was one of those wedding days where the great Joel Cookston and I had the time of our lives capturing images. Everything from the couple… to the locations… to the food… to the party were absolutely OFF THE CHAIN!!! Great times… hope we have more like this in 2010. Love it.
