Sisters
Sisters, there never were such devoted sisters.
And we sure did have a good time at the Kelly Clarkson concert.

Corporate Gardens
Across the road from the Davenport University campus is a large office building complex. Woven throughout the modern buildings is gravel path that follows a network of ponds with bubbling creeks and wooden footbridges. The grass is meticulously manicured and the flowers full of bright colors. I had fun walking through the area taking pictures while Philip worked out at the gym.

Feeling Beachy
We went to Van Buren State Park on Labr Day for my nephew’s birthday. We took a stroll on the beach and I got these shots.

Pioneer Woman Actions
I’ve recently discovered some really awesome PhotoShop actions at thepioneerwoman.com and I want to share them with you all. This incredible woman offers 2 sets of actions TOTALLY FREE. They are developed, in part, by Doug the creator of Totally Rad Actions, which makes this an even better deal. If you’ve never used actions before, these will completely change the way you photo process – you will love them!
So, go here now to download these actions and tell Ree, the Pioneer Woman, how much you love them!

The Hoogendyks [Family Session]
Last night I had the pleasure of photographing my brother Jacob’s beautiful family. The setup and location was simple – their backyard. And the lighting was perfect – tree filtered sun. I had a lot of fun spending time with them and learning a thing or two about getting great pictures. Here is a small preview, but the entire session can be viewed here.

Nieces and Nephews
All 8 of my nieces and nephews were under one roof on Monday – no small feat, I assure you. I also got a picture of my darling niece Esme looking a little sullen, but adorable none-the-less.
