The S Family: Fall Colors in Osceola

I met this delightful family at my booth at the Osceola Fair.

I had so much fun! 

Our location (Osceola Landing) was Heather's idea, and it was AMAZING!

 (Above) This wasn't staged. I love how they interacted with each other!

(Above) This just might be my favorite. 

Miss D! You are beautiful! 

You have so much love for your brothers, and I loved to hear you laugh! 

Mr A, you are a such a wonderful young man!

Thanks for being so cooperative and energetic! 

Mr C, you are too cute!

Thank you for smiling for me!

Thank you so much S family!

Enjoy!

Ethan: Amery Class of 2013

This weekend I had the privilege of photographing Ethan!

I love the locations we used!

Ethan is good friends with my brother Chris, and it was so much fun to capture this part of his life.

(above) We also did a few during the Polk Co Fair. I love how they turned out!

(above) This one might be my favorite!

Thanks, Ethan!

Enjoy!

Justin: Unity Class of 2013

I love farms. They might be the best locations of all time.

Justin's farm was no different. I loved the variety of our backgrounds!

 

Justin is your typical tough guy. He didn't really want to smile for me.

His sister had other ideas. Thanks Carole! :)

Thanks, Justin!

Enjoy!

Image Digitization and Restoration

Sorry for the long silence! Summer is coming to a close and it has gotten a little crazy around here. :)

I've been busy preparing for and being at my booth at the Osceola Community Fair this past weekend. I had more people than I expected sign up for our Contact List and got quite a few exciting session leads!

Today's post is on a subject near and dear to my heart. Old family photos. I absolutely love history; and when my passion for photography and love of history can combine, I am one happy person. 

I am happy to announce that Ever After Photography is now offering photo, slide, and negative digitization as well as video digitization. I have a fantastic scanner (and video software) and am slowly but surely digitizing my own family photos and have completed archiving our family videos.

Do you have a box of your grandparents slides? Or a precious family photo that's been damaged?

 I would love to help you out! Contact me for a price quote.

Here are a few examples of my family photos that I've gotten scanned.

This is my great-great grandmother (no lie!) Ingeborg. 

She immigrated with her family from Norway as a child. 

This is my great grandmother Adeline. 

This was originally an oval photo, but I've extended the edges. I love how its turned out!

This is my mom with her sister and their great (my great great) grandma Alma. 

I have the negative (eek!) of this one and can't wait to get a better scan of it.

This is my great grandparent's wedding photo.

(the bride is Alma's daughter)

This cutie is my Grandad. Isn't he adorable?!

The wedding photo above is of his parents. He is an only child.

This is a photo of my Grandma. 

Instead of a boring old before and after photo, I thought I'd do something new.
