In studio prom pictures

4 21 07 In studio prom picturesWe do many area proms, but today we decided to do something different: we are opening up the studio for all and any couples who want to come to Rutland.

We can do so much more when we are in our studio.

So here’s the scoop: come to Rutland (less than half an hour south of Brookings) go a block west of the school and turn north on 2nd St. We are in the old Lutheran Church. Come in the west side door. We’ll be available from 3 to 6 pm this Saturday afternoon – no appointment is necessary.

Annie…

4 19 07 NDX 2287bwANNIE1 Annie...Annie is a foreign exchange student from Taiwan. She lives with our good friends in DeSmet and came up with her exchange sister and friend for a day of pictures. Her Asian eyes have us enthralled and we had a blast taking pictures of her and Chelsea and Bobbi. This was Annie’s first time taking pictures with a professional, but with a little coaxing, she did awesome. Not sure we could get her to become a professional, if there was any chance she had to be out in the cold. SD weather doesn’t suit her well icon smile Annie... Thanks for a lot of fun, girls.

A late thank you

Dear Black Photography,

Thank you so much for the beautiful job you did on our wedding pictures! I have been in multiple weddings since ours, and I haven’t seen a better photographer yet. One thing I especially appreciated about you guys is the attention to details. At several weddings I have been in, I acted as the photographer’s assistant, and since they didn’t have one, and wow, it is a lot of work! I still look over our pictures & am impressed with your work. Thank you for telling our wedding day story with your photos.

Sincerely,

Tessa & Jeremy

P.S. So sorry this thank you is so late! Better late than never!
