Senior - Heather

Dear Readers:

Meet Heather from Raymore, Mo. If you get through reading the following comments and photographs and do not come to the conclusion that she is possibly one of the sweetest and coolest people in the world then I have failed you. My writing will have failed you. So for the record - she is by far the most amazing senior I have ever photographed. Ever. And those are pretty heavy words considering all the seniors I've done.

Heather is a senior and will be attending the University of Missouri next year. She's got a bit of spunk and a bit of awesomeness not found in many kids these days. It was a refreshing photo shoot. It lasted 5 hours and included a run-in with a possible meth lab location, losing a cell phone in an alley near the meth lab, dodging rusty nails, running from an 89-year old man who had a crush on her and then to end it all we saw a shooting star at dusk. I think that was God's little way of showing satisfaction of great photography with a great kid.

100 Crazy Chickens & A Baby

What happens when you combine 100 baby chickens, a dog and a baby? Pure pandemonium.




Not too long ago I got pooped on by a baby chicken. I didn't think it was all too cute. Same thing happened last night. And I still didn't like it.

What was cute, though, was the fact that there were 100 baby chickens and a baby girl who was the center of all the attention.

Little Kenlee was the subject of all this mess and she didn't really care for the baby chickens either. We did produce a few pretty cute photographs of her and a few of the chickens and one really interested dog.

Shoes


I have a fascination with shoes. I didn't realize it until recently but the things people put on their feet are so important of a detail that I'm not sure how I missed it!

We all have our own sense of fashion but we generally really express ourselves through what we put on our feet. My style a bit deranged and generally crappy overall. If you ask my wife or my mom or my twin sister - just about anyone actually - what my shoe style is...they will immediately say "all white sneakers." No questions asked...it's always all-white sneakers. What does that say about me? I'm really not sure but if anyone has a clue, let me know!

So in the past year I've really tried to give myself a requirement of doing a photograph of the subject's shoes to showcase who that person is. See if you can determine the type of person each is just by looking at the shoes.

New Displays at Captured Images


With the wedding season already beginning and senior season just about ready to hit full force, we have started designing our new windows at the Captured Images storefront.

I'm not sure what our theme is but our studio printer has been cranking out the large prints that will fill the windows. We always try and print up quite a few larger prints and as you can tell below there are two 16x24 prints that have great color and will look amazing once sprayed and mounted!

I'm especially proud of these images because these are all my photos. Gary has several prints up to but it's pretty sweet seeing my stuff printed big.

There are lots of changes happening here so keep your eyes peeled for more and more exciting tidbits on the blog!


We have goals every year for our seniors and mine this year is to really bring my A+ game and produce some killer images! Get ready!!!!

Easter Special


Well folks I got pooped on today. Yup...as in #2! Thankfully it was by a baby chicken. This, as I hope you can tell, is not an everyday occurrence.

What's the special occasion you ask? Well...tomorrow (Saturday, March 27) is the Easter Special at Captured Images, 118 S. Main St., Fort Scott. It's running from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. with no appointment necessary. Bring your kids and get a special Easter photo taken!!! Package prices range from $25 - $125 so there is something for everyone!

This year's background is country-themed with live baby chickens, a clothesline with KEY clothing hanging from it, a chicken coop and various other country-ish stuff.

Snowy Weekend

Had the biggest snowfall in March that I can remember. Despite crazy low temps I photographed the birds in the backyard....the cardinals were out in force Saturday and Sunday!
