Trent Raffelson

My wonderful nephew traveled from California for Thanksgiving and wanted me to do his senior portraits. I feel honored! I did his older brother Garrett’s pictures back in 2009. I told Trent that I had done pictures in the cold before, but nothing like it was that day. It was BRUTAL! Thankfully we did them close to the house and went out, snapped a few pictures and went back in to get warm again. Every time I started to see his nose and ears go red, we would head back in for a bit. We had a great time though and got some nice pictures. Thanks Trent. I can’t believe you are going to graduate. I remember when you were just a little bundle of boy. Now you are all grown up.

Can you tell how cold out it was? Trent was FREEZING in this shot. Brrrrr!

Lacie

Lacie contacted me and wanted pictures with her horse. I love senior pictures with horses. They are my favorite sessions. Stetson I have to say was a PERFECT horse model. He knew exactly when to have his ears up which is a wonderment in horse models. We scheduled an early morning shoot by the river in Sterling. While the weather was definitely fall with a chill, it was a nice day. Lacie braved the cold in her short sleeve shirts and we had to tell the wind to quiet down a few times.

Thanks Lacie and Stetson!

Spencer

Thanks Spencer for a super senior session! You did a great job with all of your family giving you such a hard time about smiling. I still wish I could have captured your grandma doing cartwheels trying to get you to smile! Congratulations on your accomplishments and good luck your senior year.

Thanks for choosing me to do your senior pictures!

Jake

I love fall pictures with setting sun at a decent time! Tonight, Jake met me for his session in Sidney. The weather was perfect for a nice evening session. Back in 2007, I had the pleasure of doing his sister Ashley's senior pictures.

Thanks Jake for sharing a bit of your time and allowing me to do your senior pictures. It was nice meeting you!

PHS Bulldogs first home game of the season

Friday night Volleyball and Football has returned to Peetz. Ahhhh and what perfect weather we had. It was a nice day and a nicer evening out. The gym was hot, but not overly sweltering and the football field was just right for a light sweatshirt or jacket.

It was nice to get back to photograph a game. Hard to do with a 1 1/2 year old underfoot. I hope to be able to do some more this season, so keep checking back!

See all the game photos here.

Past season game pictures will be deleted by the end of September, so please make any orders now if you would like them.

Rebecca Littlefield

Rebecca called and said she wanted pictures in Rocky Mountain National Park! I was overjoyed to get the chance to photograph Rebecca and to spend some time in the park since I had never been there before. We had a GREAT time and I took way too many pictures…Becca…double that figure I told you before. IT’S A LOT! We had so many great locations and good lighting. We just had to convince Mother Nature to turn off the wind every now and then. Thanks Rebecca and Brenda for the great day yesterday!
