Young Love

My cousin Ryan and his fiancee Jamie came to visit me this 4th of July weekend. We went to Knoxville, Iowa for the sprint car races on Saturday night. Then on Sunday we dodged the storms that were rolling through to take a few engagement photos. Here are a few from the session.


I'm so happy for you Ryan & Jamie!

First Post!

I decided it's time to jump on the bandwagon of blogging. I've been admiring so many respected photographer's blogs that I thought I'd give it a shot.

Please let me know what kind of content you'd like to see on my blog. I will try to update it weekly with new images that I've taken. For the near future, I will try to post some images I've taken in 2008.
