Recent happenings

Hey all!

I just wanted to drop a line and let you know that my wonderful wife was diagnosed this past Wednesday with Papillary Thyroid Cancer. The good news is that it's very treatable, and per the doctor, we have nothing to worry about. She's already undergone two surgeries to have the nodules and thyroid removed, and here in 4-6 weeks, she'll take a radiation/iodine pill that should kill the remaining cancer cells. My son also went in for surgery last Monday to have a tube put in his ear, and that was a quick and successful surgery. So, while all of this has been weighing on us, we have been very blessed with the outcome of Luke's surgery and knowing that Nicole's cancer is treatable! Please keep Nicole in your prayers.

Take care,
Joshua

Carthage Seniors!

I had the great opportunity to shoot Luke and Matt's senior pictures a few weeks ago! These guys have been friends since third grade! Both very polite and fun to hang out with for a few hours during their shoot. If I need anyone to hold my reflector for some light "feathering"...I'm calling these guys!! :-) Here's a couple pics of each along with their video's I created! Enjoy!!!

Shae's Volleyball Shoot!

Shae dropped in with Ethan this past evening, and we created some dramatic images! Thanks Shae for being a good "sport", and Ethan for working the reflector like a pro!! Here's a couple of my favorite shots from that shoot, along with a video...

Weddings

Ok...I've had several requests in the past few weeks for shooting weddings, and I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm currently not offering that service at this time. I have about $4,150.00 worth of equipment that is on my wish list that I NEED before I even think about a wedding...two camera's is a must, extra flash, couple lenses...the list is endless really.

Now...if you need some awesome engagement photographs...look me up! I have some great ideas and poses for couples!

Santa, if you're check'n out my blog, please put on my wishlist a Nikon D300, it comes out next week!! I've been good...I promise!! ;-)

Recent Senior

Everyone...meet Matt! We met early on a Saturday morning, and had some great light to work with as the sun rose here in Carthage. I must say...all serious faces had to be requested, as this young man had a smile on the whole time!!

The Holman's

I had a great time on this shoot! The Holman's are great friends, and Abby and Zach...what a couple cute kids!!! Here's a couple of my favorite shots, along with a cool video!

Please meet Shae and Ethan!!!

Shae and Ethan are my Carthage Senior Ambassadors and have been a great joy to work with!

We've created some great images for their senior pictures as well as some work that shows what I can do for you or your senior! I'm starting to think this will be my area of speciality!

Here's a few pictures of each for you all to check out!!!

Hey all!!

Ok...so, I've been a little lazy on the blog...that's a fact! I could say that I've been busy taking pictures and proofing my mind out...but, that's no excuse!

Several new things are in the works for Life Captured Photography!

I've created a couple packages for all you expecting mothers! These include a "Beginnings Package", which includes a maternity shoot, and a newborn shoot. I've also created my "Milestones" package, which is a 3, 6, 9, 12 month shoot for your new child! Please email me for details and pricing!!

Please note that prices and packages will change beginning of 2008. I'll be doing away with package pricing on family/senior shoots, and will offer discounts on dollar amount ordered. This way, YOU are able to choose what fits your needs!!

I'm sooo far behind on posting pictures!! I'm going to post photographs from some of my most recent shoots!
