Frantz's

Welcome back the Frantz's! I haven't photographed this family since the youngest, Eli was brand new, and now look at him! We took a few outdoors photos, but quickly retreated to the studio because Eli's nose was getting so red. Poor guy. Once inside the studio, older brother was all about our step ladder, and kept eeking his way into the background of photos he wasn't supposed to be in. Funny. Here are my faves from their shoot on Friday.

Some brother love.

Chris (the dad) was all about this pose:

Things Lindsey Says...

"My sweat has now turned into freezing rain."

ROOTS was Great!

ROOTS was this past Tuesday, and it was awesome! We had 11 aspiring photographers come to hang out, learn, and go on a shoot. Ginger took some photos of us in the "class" portion Tuesday morning. Look how intently everyone is paying attention. :)

I tried to illustrate some of our points...

Lindsey teaching.

Then we headed out with two lovely models. This is Olivia. You might remember that I took her senior photos a couple months back. She's also interested in photography, so she attended the class in addition to modeling for us.

And I took quite a few behind-the-scenes shots that show the fun we had.

This is the other model, Jaclyn, with Olivia. Jaclyn's also a photographer, who just moved her business to Wichita from Lawrence. We were only facebook friends, so it was fun to finally meet her in real life!

I used the group of attendees for a quick lesson on posing groups, while the models went to warm up for a bit in my Jeep. It was COLD that day. And today, for that matter...

Thanks again to everyone who came! We had a blast. And for those of you who missed out, stay tuned to my blog to be the first to hear about the next ROOTS!

Kit & Jeff

Kit and Jeff's Nebraska wedding was amazing. It was held at the Lied Lodge in Nebraska City, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect autumn day. There was wonderful cloud cover (though the sun peaked out for a little while at the perfect time), the trees were beginning to change, and there was a little briskness to the air. We started out at the lodge where the couple was getting dressed, and then we took photos separately on the terrace and grounds around the lodge. The ceremony was held near some old barns and was decorated beautifully. While we took the couple and wedding party around for photos after the ceremony, the guests enjoyed a cocktail hour in one of the barns. Then back to the lodge for a night of dancing, cupcakes, dinner, and fun!

The bride rode to the ceremony with her dad on a horse-drawn carriage. So cool.

Riding away from the ceremony on the carriage:

Congrats Kit & Jeff! I was honored to be a part of your day! Hope you're having a great time in Costa Rica. :)

The rest of Kit & Jeff'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.
