Oh, the Famousness

I had the immense honor of being chosen as Forbeyon's Photographer of the Month for January! Forbeyon is the company who makes our amazing leather Storybook albums, and they are an international company, which makes this even that much more awesome.

He's Here!!

Adam and I are so happy to announce that our happy, healthy, perfect son has arrived safe and sound.

Sutton Grey Dreher

was born yesterday June 24th at 6:35pm. He weighed 9 pounds 2 ounces and was 21 inches long. We're both doing great, and Sutton loves his daddy! Photos to come...

Off to Become a Mom!

Well folks, I'm officially outta here. My maternity leave begins this afternoon and I'm so excited! The baby could come at any time, but we scheduled an induction for a week from today (June 24th) in case he wants to stay put. (FYI...scheduling the induction was a hard decision - I'd prefer things happen on their own. But since he's so huge already according to the growth ultrasound, and since I have to shoot two weddings in July, we decided this was best!)

I'm sure I will post photos as soon as I'm able, so check back to see just how cute this little boy is and to find out his awesome name. :)

I will have email access while I'm gone, though replying may be another story. Please contact the studio if you have questions, orders, or anything else. 316.683.1900 or frontdesk@gingerootstudios.com

I'll resume working mid-August when school starts up, and I'll be in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays only. We do have weddings scheduled in July and August, so there will be lots to catch you up on when I get back.

Probably the next time you hear from me, I'll be a mama. It's so surreal and exciting! Thanks in advance for your thoughts and prayers. Have a great summer.

Top Secret

Friday afternoon, I photographed something that is so super secret, I can't even share the photos here. I'm going to try to remember to blog about it when I get back from maternity leave, so keep checking back...I just had to tease you all with that. :) Here are a couple photos from the afternoon that don't really give anything away.

AND, come back later today to see the blog post about our awesome wedding from this weekend. We battled the rain and won! :)

Diesel

My little dog came with me to the studio today! He's not fond of having his picture taken...does this look a little forced? :)

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).

BTI Wind Energy {Greensburg}

Yesterday, Lindsey and I had the pleasure of going to Greensburg to photograph the amazing head honchos at BTI Wind Energy. They called us to come out and take some creative headshots and corporate photos for their website, and we had so much fun with them! They were up for anything we asked of them, and after our shoot, we were treated to lunch and stories about the 2007 tornado. Our unborn babies even got adopted as grandkids by one of the Mr. Estes's (there were 3 Mr. Estes's). Lindsey did most of the shooting, so I only have a few to share. Enjoy!

AND...I fell in a hole! That was the excitement for the day. You can always count on me to be a klutz and embarrass myself. I'm fine, by the way. :)

REMINDER!

Wedding packages are changing tomorrow. Book today to lock in the 2009 prices!
