For those of you who have been to our home or have followed along here on the blog for awhile, you know we live on a cattle ranch.

Even with the recent cold snap, I think it is safe to say that spring is here. The trees are budding out, our summer flowers are popping up, and the brown hues of winter are turning pastel. Yep - spring is here!

That also means that we are shooting engagement sessions again, and driving around the ranch to do so. The other day while we were scouting where we were going to go, we drove up on these cows just bathed in the golden evening sun. I have to admit, we get to see this every day, so sometimes we take it for granted. Thankfully, I had my Contax with me and snagged this image. I (Luke) am thinking about making a coffee table book of all of the images that we have taken around the ranch, but I want them all to be taken on film. This has turned in to my next "project" and I can't wait to see how it ends.

When we were in Vegas for WPPI we had the pleasure of 'traveling with' our good friends and fellow wedding photographers Brad and Chyla. We first got better acquainted with these two last year when they came to Texas for a mentorship with us. So that might be the beginning, but as time went on, these two have come to be some of our best friends.

We were so excited about WPPI and all of the fun times we would have with our long-distance (you see, B&C live in Nebraska, but are about to relocate to Des Moines) friends. One day, Brad and Chyla got all gussied up and we walked around Las Vegas shooting their pictures on film. It was a blast!

As they relocate their family and their business to Des Moines, they now have a brand new set of photos to decorate their home with.Yippee!

Our hotel, Aria, has this incredible waterfall wall. it was our first choice for their pictures and we love the way they turned out.

One of our faves for sure! These guys and their smiles, it tells the story of their lives!

Hottie!

Just two lovebirds walking down the sidewalk.

This was our second time to photograph these two, and it's safe to say, Brad and Chyla are a dream to photograph. I am pretty sure we are getting an album of these for our own house just because we love them so much.

Now that Megan and James' wedding has came and went, it's time for you to oooh-and-aaaah over how beautiful of a bride Megan was.

We had an incredible time with Megan and her tagalongs (her aunt and her mother-in-law) shooting her bridals. The images we're showing today were all shot on film, which was so much fun. Megan, you are beautiful!

Megan gave a framed copy of this portrait to her father as a gift. How special!
