Rose's Maternity

I love maternity photos. Rose had a baby boy! I can't wait to see him. Here is their full shoot.

Fernholz card

I made this card last night. Jenny wanted a card that was pretty generic, as she wasn't sure when she was going to get a chance to send them out. She said, "really just pick anything" so it will be a total surprise when she gets them in the mail. I had fun with photoshop filters for the background.

Wright photos

I finished the Wright family photos today. Here is their album. It's the first one to be only made with Gallery and is only on the new "view my photos" page.

Sorry if some of my old links do not work. I have tried to make sure they all do, but I am sure I missed some. Please email me if you can't view a slideshow anymore, or else try looking at http://www.emilyminor.com/gallery/main.php.

Wright Family Photos

I took family photos for the Wright family on the 27th. Two grandparents, four kids and their spouses, and seven grandkids between 5 and 6 1/2 weeks. Very fun!! This outtake captures the shoot pretty well. The parents were a huge help in getting the seven kids and babies situated and looking at me. I'm excited to get all of the photos done.

Rose - Maternity

I have a problem.

I take way more photos than anyone should. *sigh* Tonight I took 281 photos during a maternity session. *sigh* Thank god I'm not still shooting film. BUT - I did get some really awesome shots! Rose and Thomas are going to have a really hard time picking out prints. Here are a couple good ones.

Kulm Family

Here the Kulm's proofs!

Fernholz photos

Still working on them. Almost done. The Kulm's are next!

Weisbeck Christmas Card

I snapped these shots at Crystal and Karl's wedding and Karen decided to use them for her Christmas card. I just got them back - they turned out great! I am so happy with my printer. They are clear, crisp and great color.

Hoogendorn's

I just finished their slideshow. (Is it still a slideshow if you have to manually advance it? I hope so.) Yes, it is almost 1 AM. I may have a Red Bull for breakfast. Enjoy Jenny! http://www.emilyminor.com/Hoogendoorn/slideshow.html

Fernholz Family

This evening I took family photos for the Fernholz's. What a great-looking family!! I love this mother/daughter photo. Chad was not too happy about having so many photos taken, but he pulled through. Laney was very photogenic and not shy at all. I can't wait to finish all of them!

Lance and Shelby

I took these Sunday afternoon - cute!! Shelby was much more interested in chasing the kitty than sitting still though.

Spaders

Here is the Spader slideshow!




Things are changing in my world... Hello doesn't seem to work anymore with Blogger. Darn. It was SO easy to upload and resize. I'm a big fan of drag and drop (which Hello could do) versus having to attach files manually (which I have to do now.)








Most of my website is back up, however the order form is not working yet. If you need to order prints, please email me instead.

Thanks!

Zach

I got Zach's senior photos uploaded today. I am trying to find a better way to do photo galleries - I don't really like the slideshows right now. I'd like more control over them!! Anyway, here is Zach's slideshow. 

Spader's Reshoot

Round II - We decided to reshoot the Spader family. I am SO glad we did - we started about 4:30 this time and the light was hundreds of times better. I'm really happy with lots of these photos.

This is probably my favorite from the shoot - what a great big brother/little sister shot!

The lighting was so harsh for this shoot - we may try again!

Get Your Own! View Slideshow

I spent way too much time doing this. It's a nice overview of this year's photos so far though!

Hejl Family

The Hejl family - I played around with filters a bit for them. Their slideshow: http://www.emilyminor.com/Hejl/slideshow.html

Mandy

I met with Billy and Mandy on Tuesday to give them their photos. It was really fun to watch Mandy re-live the day again. Here is their slideshow. http://www.emilyminor.com/BillyMandyWeb/Wedding/slideshow.html

Lance & Jenny

Jenny & her baby Lance at the etc. Expo. Lura, Jenny and I went to check things out. We were a bit late for the wine tasting though and there was no room left inside though. So instead we checked out all of the booths, sampled gelato (not like Italy's no matter what they claim), picked up free chocolate, tried about 4 different wines, and had some gourmet hot chocolate. Yummy. There were a couple photographer's with booths - maybe next year. Taken with my Treo.

Mya

Mya definitely wins the award for the happiest baby I have ever photographed!! She is so darn cute!!

I took photos for the Hejl family last weekend - we snuck them in on the last nice day of the year, I think. 

Crystal was probably the most expresive bride I have had the pleasure of photographing... It made for some great shots! 

Yay! I finished Crystal and Karl's wedding photos tonight! They are going to be happy.... 

We also went to the Beef Unit at SDSU for some photos. 

I took portaits of Charlie Thompson today for the SDSU Alumni magazine. He did the website for the Opportunity Farm.  

Photo shoot for SDSU Alumni magazine

My friend Lura is a free lance journalist and does stories for the SDSU Foundation. Today I took photos for a story she did about the SDSU Foundation farm near Lennox. Bryan is an Ag Engineer who designed and built this shed. He had to account for everything from snow load to wind. The front is special material that lets the light in, so the cattle aren't spooked by going into a shadowed area they can't see. Look for the article in the Foundation Magazine.

Lura and Shon's wedding party...

Mom and Dad to-be... 

Jenny

Jenny's baby boy was born only a few days after the photo shoot! Here is her full slideshow.

Another of Rose... 

Karl and Crystal did a modern version of the unity candle with sand - very cool!! 

Jenny looked great against the white background. 

I've been working on Jenny's maternity photos for a couple days now. And they are finished! I'll share the slideshow after I recieve permission from her. 

This is Rose - I am working on their wedding photos now. 

Aren't they a good looking couple?? You'd never guess it was over 100 degrees out form the photo. :-) 

Becky and Jesse's Engagement

Here is Becky and Jesse's slideshow! I did their engagement photos a couple weeks ago. It was over 100 degrees - we were all sweating like crazy the whole time! But they turned out great anyway. :-)

Little baby!!

I finished Braeden's 1 month photos last night. He is adorable!! What a cute little bug in his bright orange bibs. http://www.emilyminor.com/Braeden/slideshow.html

Braeden

Noah!!

I finished Noah's 3-month-old photos today. I really like these in black and white.

Noah - what a cutie! Here is his slideshow.

Billy and Mandy

I finished their wedding photos today. I think I will wait to post their slideshow until I can show them their book first though.

Cutting the cake - I love the look on Mandy's face!

The back of Mandy's dress was beautiful...

Burt and Jenny

I did a shoot tonight with Jenny and her husband Burt. They are going to have a baby boy any time now! We got some really good shots and I can't wait to get their slideshow done!

Crystal and Karl

Crystal is the one in the white dress. :-) Congratulations!!!

The wedding party

Becky and Jesse

Becky and Jesse have been trying me to get to shoot their engagement photos for about 2 months now - every time we would set a date it would be raining or something would come up. So finally we got to do it - It was 100 degrees out (no, seriously) and we all about MELTED! but we got it done!

Rose and Thomas

I shot my 3rd wedding of the summer today. Rose and Thomas took their photos in the Japanese Gardens, then we did the rest of the bridal party and family at the church. What a great couple!! This photo is directly out of the camera - no adjustments at all.

Maternity photos

Jami and I looked at her maternity photos tonight. Here is her slideshow. Erroll was just born - 6 pounds 10 oz baby boy!!

Noah

I've been working on Noah's 3-month-old photos. What a cute little guy. He decided he was just going to chill out instead of being all smiley and giggley.

Molly

Here is Molly's slideshow. I'm glad we had a day off over the 4th of July so I could finish Molly and Hunter's slideshows. I took their photos in June - I am sure their parent's wanted to see them!

Hunter

How cute is Hunter? This is one of my favorites. I took his 2-year-old photos in June. Here is his slideshow!

Today I took photos of my friend Lynette's month-old son. What a cutie!

SDSU President Peggy Gordon-Miller

I took photos of the ribbon-cutting ceremony for SDSU's new alumni office building in downtown Sioux Falls. I really like this shot of President Peggy Gordon-Miller.
