Photos from yesterday...

I visited the Sertoma Butterfly House in Sioux Falls, SD before my flight left yesterday. Here are some of the images I got while I was there. If you ever drive through Sioux Falls, I highly recommend visiting this place!

Kari's Beautiful Daughter, Taylor

Isn't she just gorgeous? Taylor was so much fun to photograph! We had a great time!!!

Photographing the Ordinary

While here in South Dakota, Kari and I went to a local garden area to photograph some stuff just for fun!!! I am so glad that we did; I haven't done this kind of photography in so long. Tomorrow, we're going to Sioux Falls to take some shots! I can't wait...will post some of those tomorrow night :)

What an awesome weekend!

I've had a great time in South Dakota. I'm still here and will be taking some scenic photos today. Yesterday was the workshop and it went really well. We had fun models and we shot all day, almost 12 hours of shooting!!! Below are a few images. I will post reviews/testimonials as they come in.
