Ryan-Class of 2011!

This is Ryan...he is a Senior at Flint Hills Christian School in Manhattan. I have known Ryan for a long time...we were in 4-H together. Ryan also shares a passion for photography and has taken some awesome pictures. I was more than excited when he came to his session with ideas of what he wanted! We started out on the K-State campus, made a quick walk over to Manhattan Christian College, went to the University Gardens and then finished up at the train bridge. This was my first session that we actually had a train come while up on the tracks...don't worry you can hear and feel the train coming from quite a distance so we moved off the tracks with plenty of time to spare :) Thanks Ryan for having me take your Senior pictures, good luck with the rest of your year and good luck at K-State! Here are some of my favorites:

This is the Bettencourt family!

Derek and Kerensa-Wamego! Part 2

After Derek and Kerensa's ring ceremony at the First United Methodist Church in Wamego we headed to Manhattan. We made a quick stop at the train bridge before heading over to the Purple Wave Event Center. They ate, Steven and Josie gave speeches, they cut their gorgeous cake and then they danced. And they danced some more...and then a little more! Congratulations Derek and Kerensa and thank you for having me help capture your wedding! Here are some more of my favorites:

Derek and Kerensa-Wamego! Part 1

On Saturday, October 9th, Derek and Kerensa had their ring ceremony at the First United Methodist Church of Wamego. The girls started the day at Family Haircutters...of course it is always the kids that steal the attention. Tessa is such an adorable little girl and an awesome flower girl, but she did get a little bored while getting her hair done...



After the hair was done, we headed to the church for pictures of Derek and Kerensa. They are just so much fun and constantly making each other laugh...we then headed down the city park with the bridal party following us down a little while later.

I have too many favorite pictures from their big day to fit it all into one post, so make sure to check back for part 2!
