Justin { Senior }

Yesterday I had a super fun senior session with Justin. I was so glad I didn't have a girl because the wind was gusting up to 54 mph! It was ridiculous. After a few downtown locations, Justin and I headed out to his house that's on a private lake. We took his awesome dog Baron (who is now my BFF) and went exploring in the woods before ending our session in the lake and on his boat. Baron chose to sit on my lap in the truck, which was fine by me, but I sure got a sniff-down from my own pups when I got home. I also found it absolutely hilarious that Boxers and Dobermans (which is what I'm used to) have exact opposite noses. Weird.

Enough about the dogs...Justin was pretty darn cool too. And laid back, which made for an easy shoot! Here are some of my faves.

Eli { One Year }

I wanted to title this post "The Many Faces of Eli" but then I ran out of time to edit/blog all his crazy faces. This kid has a giant stash of hilariousness...but he wasn't too fond of having his picture taken. You can't tell from the photos, right? :) After a few shots in the studio, we headed over to Riverside Park for some fun in the sun. Big thanks to mom (my friend Lisa) for being laid back and going with the flow!

Julia { Senior }

Friday afternoon, through all the crazy wind, Julia, her entourage, and I set out to take her senior photos. The entourage consisted of both parents, her best friend, and two adorable little puppies. I wanted to steal one. Or both. We got some awesome photos despite the wind! I'm editing and blogging from Lindsey's computer (see the last post about my computer problems), so thanks for being gone today and letting me use your computer, Lindsey! Enjoy a sneak peek.

Computer Problems

:(
Big sad face.

My computer is doing something crazy so I'm getting ready to take it to Apple to be looked at.

This may mean delays in editing, album designing, etc. I apologize for the inconvenience and will do everything I can to get things back up and running ASAP!

END!

Today is the LAST DAY TO GET YOUR DIGITAL NEGATIVES for the awesome sale prices. We had a great response to this sale, but there are more of you out there who could benefit from this.

"I'm glad to see she's not bringing her epidurals to work."

"Where is a freaking Ryan E Cole when you need him?"

Katelyn { Senior }

Katelyn had the CUTEST prom dress. And a pretty great smile. She and I and her mom traipsed all over Wichita yesterday in the sunshine and got some awesome photos of both of those things! I told her multiple times that the poses I was going to put her in would make her feel pretty dumb, but she just had to trust me, and she did! It was totally worth it, don't you think Katelyn? Thanks for a great afternoon, good luck at Pitt State next year.

Guess What THIS Is?

I'll give you three guesses. :)

No, it's not a giant.

No, it's not a scale model of the earth.

YES! It's my outta control baby belly! Just thought I'd give all of you who aren't my facebook friends and haven't seen me for awhile a little update on how large I'm looking these days. I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow!

I'd also like to take this opportunity to remind you of my maternity leave, which will be June 18 through July 22. I will be out of the office completely, so that means no album designing, editing, or answering phone calls. PLEASE PLEASE let me know before June 18 if you need anything. Also, as I'm beginning to be less mobile, I'd prefer (and I think you would too) that if you need engagements or other portraits done, you schedule them for early-mid May.

Thanks a bunch!

Tara & Chad { Wedding }

Adam and I had the immense pleasure of photographing Tara and Chad's wedding in Moundridge on Saturday. Everything about the day was perfect. We had perfect weather, a beautiful couple (who is

TOTALLY in love!), and pretty backdrops - spring is a great season for a wedding. After their first meeting and outdoor family formals, we headed to a park where we had bunches of time for photos of the couple and their wedding party (the girls wore amazing J.Crew dresses...I wanted to steal one). I also loved that Chad was all about photos. He could've posed for me all day...which is usually not the case with grooms. If I ever need a couple to model for something, I know who to call.

Tara and Chad - thanks so much for letting us be a part of your big day! Hope you have a blast this week in Jamaica.

 

The rest of Tara & Chad'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.

Kelsi & Ryan :: Take 2 { Engagements }

I'm in love with these pictures!!!! You might remember that I took the first part of Kelsi and Ryan's engagements last week (click here for that post), but then we were rained/hailed out, so we had to reschedule the last part. I'm so glad we did! We had perfect light and perfect temps last night. I had this idea for a vintage-inspired shoot in a forest, and after explaining my idea to Kelsi, she just ran with it. She bought an amazing dress, and found Ryan a skinny tie. They even brought balloons! And the quilt we used was made for me by my Grandma. :) Here are just a few from our awesome shoot last night!

REMINDER { Digital Negatives Sale }

Just wanted to remind you all that the super amazing fantastic Spring Sale on Digital Negatives is ending one week from tomorrow, on April 23. If you want your past, present, or future digital negatives for the amazing sale prices (click here for more info), you need to contact me and pay before April 23!

Daniela { Senior }

Holy windiness. Daniela (don't you LOVE her name?!) and I were finally able to get some senior pictures taken yesterday after rescheduling THREE times due to wind. It was still pretty windy, but we made it happen anyway. Daniela goes to Andover and will be attending KU next year. Since I'd recently had a campus visit there, we discussed the beautiful campus and her dreams of being a pre-med student. Smartie pants. Enjoy a sneak peek!

Things Lindsey Says...

"Gimme a freaking fun-size break."

Oh, Kansas...

...sometimes you're beautiful. I took a couple landscapes on my drive home from Lawrence the other night. I don't typically get into landscape photography, but the setting sun was just so pretty, I had to pull over on the turnpike to grab this photo.

And then after it was completely dark, I passed some burning fields. Some of them were burning for miles in the distance and it was quite the sight to see. I grabbed my camera and snapped this as I was still moving (do NOT try that at home).

Things Lindsey Says...

"I'm sure that's not how Indians wrestle."

Emily & Clayton { Album }

I received another beautiful classic album last week. Emily and Clayton chose a Smooth Black leather for their cover with a black and white metal cameo. I think the black and white photo looks very timeless. This album will look awesome on their coffee table for years to come!
