Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

The Ott's

Welcome back the Ott's! I hadn't seen this family since spring, and it was so nice to be able to spend time with them again. We took a few outdoor family photos before heading into the studio to get some of the kiddos and baby. Between a van that smelled of turkey sandwiches and feet, and Thom's endless questions about Photoshop, I'm not sure I'll be able to take photos of this family again. JUST KIDDING. Thom can sure dish it out, so I hope he can take it too. And their van didn't really smell like that. :) Sorry Kim, had to throw that in there. Anyway....let's just get to the photos, shall we?

Lenz Family

7 dogs.

That's all I have to say. Okay, not really, but seriously, 7 dogs! It makes me exhausted just to think about it.

Many of you know Ginger, one of our studio managers. This is her family (who I LOVE!), and their 7 dogs. It was quite the adventure to keep all these pups wrangled, but I'm so glad we went for it. A lesser photographer would've caved. Just kidding. But it did help that dogs are like my favorite thing ever. :) Saturday's weather wasn't too cooperative either, but luckily the cold and wind weren't too unbearable, and it wasn't raining, despite the thick cloud cover. So, without further ado, here are the favorites from my session with Mark & Barb; Joe, Ginger & Avery; Aaron, Sage & Malachi; and (let's see if I can do this) Cali, Asher, Sirius, Jackson, Samantha, Lily, and.....I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST ONE...Ginger, help me out here!

Edit: It's DAISY. Sorry Daisy, I remember you now. :)

Madelyn

Finally! After a crazy amount of rescheduling, we were able to do Madelyn's senior photos yesterday. You can read about one of our rescheduling issues here. Madelyn brought her dad's amazing Mercedes (I even got to ride in it, woohoo!) for some of the photos. After some downtown photos, we headed over to the zoo, where she works, for the fun tall grass. And then over to Sedgwick County Park to finish off the night. Madelyn's a swimmer, so I'm glad we got some near the water, even though we weren't able to do any with her IN the water. Good luck at KU next year, Madelyn!

Christina + Blake

Christina and Blake were married on Saturday at the Greek Orthodox church here in Wichita. Lindsey and I met the girls at the salon in the morning and then headed over to the church to get dressed. Christina had a gorgeous Vera Wang dress that everyone was fawning over, and rightly so. After their traditional ceremony, we headed over to the country club for their amazing reception and a night of dancing. Christina and Blake were super generous and Lindsey and I were treated to a sit-down meal with the guests that was to die for. Here are a few of my favorites from their day!

Congrats to the newlyweds! Lindsey and I had a great time at your amazing wedding, and we hope you love your photos!

The rest of Christina and Blake's photos will be available online in 3-5 weeks. Please send me an email at gina@gingerootstudios.com to be notified when they're up.
