Stephanie and Dustin are getting married this September, but wanted to get pictures done now for their Save the date cards.
Dustin proposed to her while flying this plane. He hid the ring in the glove box and asked her for a map.
We finished up inside the airport hanger. This was a fun shoot!
Jeff Stultz with Image Video Productions was at the engagment shoot with me. Watch their save the date video Jeff produced here:

What a day! Excitement like this for a cold February day is hard to come, but we found out today that we will be moving into a brand new studio on March 1st. Here are a couple pictures of the building.
Tom & Susan Waters did an amazing job renovating this space. They run Corporate CopyPrint in the building next door. I look forward to being their neighboor!
The walls are a blank canvas just waiting for images to be displayed. I cannot wait to get started. I have 2 more weddings to finish editing, then it will be a complete focus on moving in. Check our blog for updates on our Grand Opening.

The past few years have really gone quickly. I think any parent can easily relate once you have kids. Here is a great picture of the kids playing some Classic Arcade games.
Sophie is my oldest. She will be six in April.
Will turned three in December, and just started preschool at St. Mark’s.
Max is 1 1/2 and is the ornery one. Boy he is a handful!
I have been so busy with weddings and my own family that I have not had time to photograph very many other families. I have so many former brides & grooms that have kids of their own now. I really want to hear from you! Feel free to email me and let me know how you are doing.
As an encouragement to former wedding clients to consider using us for their family portraits , I will come out to your home at no charge. I will photograph your children or family and then post them online for you to view. No orders are required. I will only be able to offer this for the month of February and March.
I would love for us to become your family photographer! thanks, Mike Freeland
