Astoria's Pictures

We visited Cedar Falls for Sturgis Falls and I got to visit some of my friends. I also got to take some pictures for my friend's daughter, Astoria, who has grown prettier each time I was there.

Practice, practice, practice!

Always looking for ways to improve my work. Here's a test on some new equipment on my son's train table. My son loves the movie "Cars" and its soundtrack, so I thought it was appropriate to use the song "Our Town" for this short clip. I'll be practicing to make my shots smoother. My focus is always to make something good even better. I do hope the high expectations of myself pays off for my customers.

Bollwinkel's Family Pictures

Got back to Ankeny after the wedding in Cedar Falls just in time for another family photo shoot. The Bollwinkel family is a very busy family and I was really glad they were able to make time for the photo shoot.
