today

Posted in .me, .miscellaneous, .weddings

These last two weeks I’ve been living off of minimal sleep, a terrible diet of fast food and sweating bullets in a non air conditioned space working on our booth for the bridal show. It’s finally nearing completion. The booth is built and the prints are on their way. Only a few last items to polish off and we’ll be set. I’ve tried to balance all of this with keeping up on our post processing. I am so thankful for everyone’s patience while we are in one of our busiest times of the year.

On my drive home from Ames today I was physically tired and was feeling the effects of sleep deprivation. It has been exhausting trying to keep a good balance of everything and stay ahead.

But I realized something that made me smile. I get to prepare a blog post this evening and share a wonderful wedding. It sounds a little crazy, but this is honestly what keeps me going.

Check back later tonight! Liz and Sean’s wedding is coming up!

Evan Baines & Sam Hassas :: Our Family Portraits

Posted in .families, .me, .miscellaneous

Last week was fantastic. We had two of our personal favorite photographers and good friends come out and do some family photographs of us and give a presentation to our local Des Moines photography meet up group. It was an absolute blast. The day went by so quickly. I can’t express how grateful I am that another good friend and wonderful photographer, Kevin from Sharp Capture Studios, shot all these action shots below of Sam and Evan doing their thing. These images are fantastic. My favorite is the composition of Sam’s trademark NY Yankees hat with our whole family in the background. Great job Kevin. And thank you to Joey Early and Laura Beekmann from Life Art Photographs for hanging out and holding our kids when they needed to be held. Can’t say enough how much you guys rock!

Thanks to all those that came out to hear Sam (Hassas Photography) and Evan (Evan Baines Photography) talk. I can’t emphasize enough how thankful we are that you all came out to support this event. We’ll have more in the future!

Edit: I also wanted to thank Sarah’s brother Jacob for helping us out as well. He’s leaving for boot camp with the Marines on Monday. He’s a wonderful friend and brother-in-law and I can’t say thanks enough for all the times he’s watched our kids and been the impromptu babysitter so many times. Have a safe trip sir!

Adam & Kimberley :: Married :: Des Moines, Iowa Wedding Photographers

Posted in .weddings

Sheesh. Could I have posted any more photographs for a wedding set? Actually, I could have. But I ended up cutting these a little short due to the volume of images again. I keep telling myself I’m going to cut back on what we show on here but I can’t do it. Too many wonderful moments not to share. Adam & Kimberley had an absolutely gorgeous day. Blue skies, beautiful church, and wonderful friends and family. We drove up to Ida Grove for this wedding and enjoyed every second. Rarely do we have to travel 3 hours in Iowa to do a wedding. This was an absolute treat to have a lovely change in scenery. Congratulations to both of you! Thanks for being so patient with these images. Just wanted to make sure they were perfect. Enjoy!

edit: My sincere apologies to Kimberley. I’ve misspelled her name twice in a row now! I can no longer talk of my victories in spelling bees back in middle school. ::hangs head in shame::
