Meet Ethan

my newest student ambassador from Crane. Ethan is a senior this year at Crane and has signed on to get the "Backroads by Lynda" name out at his school. Ethan and his Mom came by today and we did studio shots as well as location shooting too. I have only just started the editing process on his images and can't wait to be able to do them all. We got some really unique shots of Ethan and he made it so easy. Ethan was just great to work with, willing to try any pose, extremely photogenic and was fun too! I look forward to coming down to Crane later during your basketball season Ethan and getting some fun shots for you to keep from your senior year. Good luck and have a fun senior year! If you are in Crane and still looking for a studio to do your senior pictures, go talk to Ethan and he can tell you all about the "Backroads" experience. I look forward to having you as my newest ambassador.

Chris and Trista's e-session

Last weekend Mike and I got the privilege of taking engagement pictures for Chris and Trista. We were able to take some in the studio before heading out to Springfield where we walked around town and got some great "Urban style" images for them. What a wonderful couple to work with, so nice and cute too! You guys just look great together. Blessings for a wonderful life together filled with love. Thanks for letting Backroads be part of your new beginning.

What a beautiful bride!!!!

They just don't come any more stunning or sweet than Kayla. She is such a beauty inside and out and looked stunning in her wedding gown. What a beautiful bride you are Kayla. Congrats on your marriage!

Fireballs soccer team

The Republic Fireballs soccer team asked us to get their team and individual photos this year. What a great bunch of little athletes. All of them were fun to work with and just so polite too. Denise and I teamed up for this photo shoot and had a great time getting some shots of some really cute kids. Here is a sample of one of the athletes! Good luck this year Fireballs!!!

Little people have been coming to visit!

We have had the pitter patter of several little feet in the studio in the past week or so. Here is Mason throwing his arms up having a great time riding his tricycle around the studio. What a cutie, boy was he full of smiles that morning. Just lovin' those "cowboots" Mason!

Abby Pennell brough her neices and nephew by this week and they had a big time playing in the hay bales and pumpkins. These 3 loved to ham it up for the camera and made for a fun morning inside the Backroads studio. Thanks Abby for bringing the kiddos by!

GeeWhiz, it's been 3 weeks since I updated the blog

My brother is a football coach up in North Callaway county and recently I got to photograph homecoming for them. This is the North Callaway County high school winning the Callaway Cup. This trophy is an ongoing rivalry between North and South Callaway County schools. This year, North Callaway was victorious and I was able to capture the cup being lifted above the team after the game and we got to watch a great fireworks display after the victory! Way to go Thunderbirds!!!!! Congratulations on your big win. This is the church that Catherine and Robin got married in at the end of September. What a beautiful location and stunning couple. It was a pleasure and an honor to be asked by Scott Plauche from Bentonville, Arkansas to be a second shooter for him at this wedding. If you want to see truly indredible wedding images check out Scott's website at www.scottplauche.com/ and be ready to be wowed! He and his wife Angela specialize in weddings and know how to get the kind of images every bride and groom want!
