The Ritter Family

After getting his business photos done the rest of the Ritter family joined us for some photos. Shawn thanks for being a good sport at the bottom of the pile!

Shawn's Haygrinding inc.

I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with a good friend of ours and his haygrinders for some new marketing shots. I must say I was a bit apprehensive at how these would turn out or if we would even get to do the session with all the rain lately. But mother nature must love Shawn, it cleared off just in time to get the trucks out.
~If you feed cattle and need to grind some hay call Shawn, he and Jami will take good care of you.

Mr. Smiles - aka Jackson

The smiles never seem to stop with this little guy! So happy and Smiley; it's hard to choose which pics are my favorites.

Senior Megan Hawk

Although we had to dodge the Rain and break for the volleyball team pictures we managed to have a great time getting all these images. Megan's little sister Callie joined us for the session and provided plenty of entertainment for us- I can't wait to see you girls again at your family session!

Little Miss Anna

This little lady has changed so much since our 1st session. What a cute and funny little girl!

Welcome Natalie to the Creative Image family.

We are pleased to announce the newest staff member of Creative Image Photography. Natalie will be handling all the studios day to day administrative duties and assisting with sessions as needed. She brings a talent for graphic design with her so you'll be sure to see her working with upcoming marketing campaigns and on holiday cards and graduation invitations.

The Return of Izzie

So it turns out that after 2 years of having my lens in her face my beautiful daughter said "no more mom!". We went for almost a solid year without good pictures of her, and not from a lack of trying either! However with a bribe of a "hamburger that comes with a toy" (Happy meal) and saying "the pictures are for Daddy for his birthday" we found success.

Happy Birthday to the Klosterman kids!

Wow I can't believe it's been a year. It seems just like just yesterday I was visiting your mom in the hospital. Watching you two grow and change has been a blessing. Here's to 1st Birthday's. 1st steps and many more firsts to come.

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Block

Adam and Amber had a beautiful day for their Wedding. It was such a joy working with you two and meeting your families-Best of luck in the future.

The Lachnilt Family

We joined the Lachnit family at noleridge park for a mini family reunion luckily we were able to get these great photos in before it got too hot! Thanks for inviting us to join your family Lisa!

Miss Luci

My cousin Luci came to visit this Summer she's always willing to be my subject and help me try out new locations. It was hot, humid and buggy the day we took these but she was a trooper - only complaining a few times.

I'm a terrible blogger!

Ok so it's official, after a full summer of not updating the blog, I'll admit it... I'm a terrible blogger!

This summer has been a busy one for me and not just with photography. In June my dad came home from a year long tour in Iraq, so of course we had to have a welcome home party. Two weeks later my dear hubby turned 30.... oh yes big party followed by a weekend at our cabin on the Mississippi. A week later I left for a 4 day conference in Chicago (fantastic time was had by all) Then we spent a week at the county fair (congratulations to all of our $100 gift certificate winners!!) A week after that my sisters boyfriend returned from his deployment in Afghanistan (insert another homecoming party) Of course you can't live in Iowa and miss the State Fair so we took a little mini vacay to DesMoines and I think that brings us to this week, Oh yeah annual family lobster boil this Saturday (YUMMY!)

So someplace admist all that and photo sessions and life in general blogging fell to the bottom of the list. For that I apologize, however there are a lot of exciting things happening here at Creative Image so be sure to check back frequently for the latest updates!
