Leigh and Geoff's Wedding

So simple yet so beautiful! This wedding was absolutely divine!  I've never seen the sanctuary so full at a wedding, and never have I seen small children used in a wedding that played their part to perfection!  God truly blessed this union on February 9, 2019! To take a peek into what transpired on this day of matrimony, see below.  To view the wedding and reception slideshow, click on the link to vimeo here.  Be forewarned that it is 21 1/2 minutes long, so get a cup of coffee, cappuccino or nice cold glass of soda pop, sit back, relax and enjoy!

Fussy is cute!

It's always nice to capture every family member with a pleasant expression but it's sometimes more rewarding to capture cute fussy expressions!  Such is true with some expressions that 1-month-old Ellie gave us during her family's portrait session.  Her sister Addy felt right at home as you can see by the portraits that we captured of this beautiful family.  Thanks Kristen and Tristan for choosing Capturing The Moment Photography for your portrait needs!  The family's favorites from the session are included below.  Enjoy!

Playing tug-of-war at 3-months-old

Rat Terriers are such crazy dogs! Only they would think of playing upside-down tug-of-war!  I had to keep throwing the rope behind the studio softbox so that they would be properly lit.  The two images below are my favorites from this tug-of-war game!

Maryland is growing so fast I don't want to miss capturing the cutest stage of her life.  I was delighted that she climbed up on the miniature sofa by herself without me having to do it!  This little girl would rather do things on her own than someone making her do it!  Hmm, typical woman! I had to lock Charlie out of the studio so he wouldn't get in the way of this image with the date prop.  He didn't like that at all! 

Ruth 2019 - Balloons and an Ethiopian dress

Ruth was adorned with balloons and an Ethiopian traditional dress during her senior portrait session in the studio. She let me pick my favorites for this session so I have included them below.  We will finish up her portrait session in March when her cap and gown is in.  I can hardly wait to see how they turn out!  :)

The Gardners' Autumn Portraits

It was a beautiful, brisk autumn evening and the leaves were still colorful for the Gardners' portrait session last week.  So that you will enjoy their 2018 Christmas card which will include two favorite portraits from this session, we have omitted those two images from their session favorites shown below.  Check back in about a month or less and we should have their Christmas card available for you to enjoy!

Ruth 2019 ~ Urban and Nature Session

For her HS senior portraits, Ruth wanted an urban session and also portraits with nature during the golden hour.  We headed to big town Junction City for her urban session and finished up on top of J-Hill during the "golden hour."  For a fun shot, we stopped at the mural on the building at 6th and Washington while Ruth placed herself into the railroad scene in the mural.  Her mom met us on J-Hill bringing Ruth's pet dog, Cosmo.  Cosmo took the show with his cute little self and we were fortunate to capture Cosmo kissing Ruth during one of her poses.  We so enjoyed this session with Ruth and Cosmo and am happy to share her favorites included below.
