Get Ready to RUMBLE!

Quad City Rollers are having their first local bout this Friday! I've kinda been adopted by the team as their team photographer. I love supporting these women and doing a little promo for them. They are HARDCORE, raw, rugged and are committed to their sport. If you ever have the chance to experience DERBY....DO IT! They keep trying to convince me to join the team but at 51, I'm afraid I'd get my butt kicked! Tomorrow I'll be doing some team pics with them that they'll be raffling off at the bout. In the meantime.....here's their flyer regarding the bout and a picture I took of them a couple weeks ago.

Love these girls...they ROCK!

Sander/Sweer Wedding

August 2nd I traveled to Clinton, Iowa to photograph the wedding of Kali Sander and Zach Sweers. Kali and Zach are residing in Wichita, KS but decided to return home to be close to family and friends to exchange their vows.

A week prior to the ceremony I learned the originally planned small affair had now grown to a total of 18 in the wedding party! I scrambled making last minute arrangements to hire a backup photographer to assist me....THANK YOU JAYE! You saved me!

Only one mishap.....as I slid into a front row seat to get a good closeup of the ring exchange, the minister threw up a microphone and completely blocked my view! Plus I was trapped by 6 groomsmen and couldn't go anywhere! Luckily Jaye was on the other side and caught the exchange!

Wedding was beautiful....followed by a reception at The Tuscany and pictures at the Arboretum in Clinton....and then....it was off to bed for me after 7 hours of lugging a camera around!

Flapper Girl Photoshoot

Thanks to Maurice Woods for allowing me access to the Victorian mansion he recently purchased in the Gold Coast District of the Quad Cities for my photoshoot with Amanda last week! Maurice was very generous in allowing us full access to his home as workers were feverishly working around us in the remodeling process. Kudos to Amanda on a job well done! Here's a few pics from our shoot...
