The Roeder Family – Lutheran Lake

We had the pleasure of enjoying a day with the Roeders at their beautiful home on the lake.  We love to photograph our subjects in their environment…it’s comfortable, it’s real and its meaningful!  And it’s even better working with such a super family.

 

 

It’s Teagan!  She was all smiles all day.

 

 

 

Laura eyeing her doggie float and the water…she was anxious to get in! 

 

And she’s nabbed him by the tail

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Laura loved the sound of the shutter button. (Not sure what face I’m making)

 

 

The newest thing to be offered by Kurtis Bowersock Photography… Pre-Engagement Photos!!!

 

 

 

I love these next two of Max and Connie

 

 

 

Thank you, Roeder Family, for a wonderful day.

The Beautiful Little Miss Elliot!

I love how much photography has given me the opportunity to spend lots of time with old friends!  It’s a special kind of moment when you get to interact with those friends again with the sole purpose of capturing their family’s happy moments.  Yah, it’s not a bad gig!  Well, that’s what I got to do this past weekend, with Chuck and Sarah and their beautiful daughter Elliot!  So check em’ out!

 

 

Elliot was such a ham!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously, do they get any cuter then this???

 

 

 

The wind was perfect!

 

 

 

 

 

 

What a beautiful family!!!

 

 

Chuck and Sarah – Thank you two again for having me take these.  Elliot did a wonderful job!  Tell her I said “Thanks” and “Hi.”  I can’t wait for you all to see the rest of images from this shoot.  They should be up later this afternoon.  I’ll add a link right below this line.  Thank you, thank you, thank you again!  You have a beautiful family!  I hope we can do these again some time.  Good luck with everything coming up!!!

 

Come back here later to see the rest of the images from this shoot.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Contest Reminder!!!

The contest ends this evening at 11:59pm.  So make sure to get your photo in by then.  The details are three posts below this one, so scroll down for all of the guidelines for entering.  We’ve already had several entries and are amazed by what you all have come up with.  There is one change that’s been made since the last post, I will not be judging the winners.  I’m gathering some judges for the contest that will have a chance to view the images without knowing who shot them.  I feel much better doing it this way.  And we still hope to have the results up by the end of the week.  

Now get to work, and by work I mean away from the computer and away from what you’re so comfortably used to photographing and make a little abstract art!!!

I’ve been loving the entries so far.  And they’ve inspired me to do a little more.  So here’s a few more that I’ve come up with.  And although some of these are border-line non-representational, I’m still showing them.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just so you know all of these were shot using the back of my office chair and the morning sun.  And no photoshop used either, just some tweaks in lightroom!

Thanks for stopping by, enter the contest and have a wonderful day!

Shooting with Kiera!!!

There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes here at KBP (the same I’m sure with any biz).  The downloading, backing up, backing up again, cutting down, cutting down again, editing, designing, and so on and so on.  So it’s really nice every once in a while to just arrive somewhere, shoot, hand over the memory cards and say “Peace Out!”  Well, I got the chance to do that this past weekend when I shot with Kiera for one of her weddings.  The wedding of Mario and Jessica.

Have a look!

 

I got to hang out with Mario and the men most of the morning.

 

 

It was a really good group of guys!

 

 

See what I mean!

 

 

 

And here’s Jessica… currently beating a bridesmaid with her bouquet. 

 

 

 

Kiera workin’.

 

The first siting of the day.

 

We all hung out together while guests arrived. 

 

 

 

 

Just about to walk down.

 

Mavris really is a beautiful venue. 

 

After the ceremony we headed to the circle and the canal.

 

 

I’m not sure myself… it was their idea.

 

One of my favorite posed photos from the day.

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Andy’s Belated Senior Photos!!!

Things in your last semester of High School can be crazy!  And with all of the stuff going on some times (and it hurts me to say this, but!) Senior Photos can get pushed aside.  No worry though.  Just ’cause schools out doesn’t mean it’s too late.  In fact it’s a better time then any other… the weather is better and now the Senior has more time!  Well, that’s what happened with Andy.  So we just shot these just last week.  Check ‘em out!

 

Yup!  That’s his bike!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These concrete pipes made for some great images!!!

 

 

 

South-side Hautians should know where the next few were taken!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Andy and Kim – Thanks again for having me take these (and driving the Element, so that I could hang out the back! ).  I really enjoyed rollin’ around Terre Haute with you all.
