Order form on site

I have created a quick order form so you can order prints you like online. Test it out here. http://www.emilyminor.com/testorderform.html Simply enter your name, contact info and the number of the prints you'd like. I would really like some feedback on it. I am trying to find an easy, inexpensive (or free - I don't want to raise print prices to pay for extra cost for online ordering) way for clients to order from me. And of course it can't be confusing, which I am afraid this way is. Thoughts anyone? Please leave a comment.

I am a photographing fiend. Tomorrow I am doing a maternity shoot for our friend Jamie (it's a boy!), June 5th I am shooting a golf tournament for a fundraiser for Junior Achievement, June 10th is Billy and Mandy's wedding, June 11th is 3-month photos for Noah, and on the 16th our friends Hanna and Henrik come to visit from Sweden. We're doing all kinds of fun things, like eating out and drinking wine, going to the Hills and basically showing them South Dakota and hanging out. Jon and I both took a whole week off work.

Shon and Lura's Engagement

http://www.emilyminor.com/LuraShon/Slideshow.html Here you go Lura! What an easy couple to shoot. I hardly did any work at all in PS. The worst thing was that the light was too golden - it looked too warm.

Weekend with the Spear's

The Spear's are my best friends. I loved the weekend I spent with them right after Gavin was born. Enjoy your show!! http://www.emilyminor.com/SpearFamily/Slideshow.html

Who let the dogs out?

I need to stop taking quite so many photos per shoot - the shoot with Gerdie, Dudley and Winston was proof of that. I ended up with so many good photos I have no idea how anyone could choose a best one. Here is their slideshow. http://www.emilyminor.com/Dogs/Slideshow.html

I did have a really cool Flash slideshow that played "Who let the dogs out?" by the Baha Men, but it was HUGE. I couldn't actually get my site to support anything even close to that big. So... slightly different version instead. (no music.)

How cute is Katie? She just loved having her picture taken. The stupid sunspot bothers me here - I will probably take it out. Right after this photo I grabbed my polorizing filter and sun-screen thingy (words are escaping me now.) I can't wait to get the slideshow finished for Austin and Katie. I wasn't sure how many good ones I had of Austin, but turns out there was a ton of them. He has so much personality! Katie too. I have been working diligently on finishing up Karol and Dan's wedding though, so these new shoots may have to wait a bit longer. 

Winston, Gerdy and Dudley

Three shoots today!! Crazy!! First Seth brought his mom and dad over with their three dogs, Winston, the bulldog, Gerdy, the Chow, and Dudley, the pittbull. That was crazy!!

Katie and Austin

Next, Ted and Coreen brought over Katie and Austin. Katie was a total ham for the camera, but Austin wasn't quite so enthused about getting his picture taken. We managed to get some good ones though.

Shon & Lura

Last for the day was Lura and Shon. They are getting married in September. We went to the Japanese Gardens for their shoot.

Marigolds

Mom and I went on a garden and winery tour today. These are some freshly watered marigolds at our first stop.

Baby in Dad's hands

I have always wanted to do a shot similar to this.

Matthew and Gavin

Matthew and his new little brother.

Tye Dye

Jeff finally got Matthew to cooperate by pretending they were twins - Jeff is sitting just off camera and Matthew is imitating him. Whew.

Matthew II

More Matthew.

Matthew

Matthew turned 4 in February. This is an outfit his aunt Anya got for him in Africa. He would NOT stay still for half a second. It was a lot of work to get a couple good ones. :-)

Gavin

This is Gavin!

Dandelion

I know dandelions are weeds, but they are fun to photograph.

Gavin & me

May 8th was Gavin's birthday. This was taken when he was 5 days old.

Addyson

This is Addyson, my friend Abbey's daughter. Addyson is 10 months old. The Treo photo doesn't do her justice - she has amazing eyes and the cutest little face and hair! Abbey and I only see each other about once every year.

I need to grow these

I want to grow tulips just so I can photograph them. This is straight out of the camera, no photoshopping at all.

Top of tulips

Tulips from the top.

Tulips

Tulip's in Spear's front yard. The neighbor's probably though I was crazy, almost standing on my head with my rear in the air.

Flowers

Jon gave me flowers yesterday - just because. He's pretty good at picking out various stems that go together.

May Day Basket

Crystal gave me a May Day basket at work today. It was so cool - traditional May Day basket meets modern designer. It was a clear plastic box filled with Skittles! "Taste the rainbow..." Yummy! and so pretty! Thanks Crystal!

Karol

I have been working on some of the wedding photos I took for Karol and Dan. There are so many - it's a bit overwhelming!
