Before Oregon, the Fehr kids came to my house for a quick Children's mini session. It looked like rain, but we got them all done and no rain! :)

My Bro.

My only bro- and its a good thing! Even though he was bribed, He drug his feet and didn't want to do this. My sister was leaving early to go somewhere and even though Austin didn't have to be there until later he told her..."I'm going early with you so I don't have to get my pictures taken!" So when we actually got him out there... he did surprisingly well! Off course he is a goof off ...


But I did get some real smiles out of him! :)








Enjoy!

Edited by Yours truly...Photography by...

MY BROTHER!!! yep... I'm not joking. Maybe I should look into a partnership?! ... Or maybe he just had a nice camera and actually got the people in good shots!... I don't think he was the one who came up with these poses, no I know he didn't!!

These pictures were taken of the 2011 FFA Officers, (at 7am this morning might I add)... I just got to have fun editing them :-)

Speaking of my brother... I have bribed, and bribed to get him to take his pictures and he is finally letting me tomorrow!!! It will be quick and we'll see if we get full cooperation!

Senior Class of 2012

I recently was on a senior shoot, and I met this cow...#8 is his name. This cow you see is very special...no it's not speckled, oh no don't you know back at the ranch there are these things called flies and they tend to multiply over manure smelling animals. Just so you know those are not speckles, they are flies...anyways this cow belongs to this rancher...

BTW... I was not in Montana... We now have ranches and cowboys in IL dontchaknow!

Anyways the weather...It was an AWESOME day for pictures, not that windy, and NOT HUMID HOT! A great day for yet another Senior Session!
Enjoy
