Kameron Bayne Images :: Signature Photography :: Studio News

For Eddie’s signature session, we hung out around the Dundee area of town and got some very cool images.  (I think I’ll be entering a few of these in up coming contests!)  Eddie was a natural – perhaps it was due to his drama experience or maybe his musical talents – either way, he was wonderful to work with, and I’m looking forward to showing the rest of the images at the viewing premiere!

Heather and I had a quiet Thanksgiving this year without a turkey… I know! It took us a little by surprise too, but not to worry. We still spent it with family and had a good time together eating homemade noodles. Here is a picture of our traditional holiday decorations and a gift my mother was given called “Brenda Bender” – a magnetic and bendable figurine. Yes, those are pigtails.  It kind of looks like the old Domino’s Pizza character, The Noid.  Does anyone remember that one?  Anyway…

I’ve always enjoyed Thanksgiving because it’s the kind of holiday we can celebrate all year long.  But it’s nice to have a day we can stop and take a moment to verbalize what we have to be thankful for – to share with those we love what produces gratitude in us.

For Evan’s senior project, he designed and created the costumes for Westside’s recent production of Romeo & Juliette.  My what extraordinary talent!  I was invited to document the last night of rehearsal as Evan hemmed buttons and made other last minute finishing touches.  I also took a couple portraits for his senior pictures.  The viewing premiere is only a couple days away – Heather and I look forward to showing the rest of the images. We hope you like them!

It was a cold and rainy morning for pictures, but we still found a way to get some great stuff with Brittany thanks to her endurance and determination. It helped that a local hair salon let us in to warm up and even allowed us take a few pictures with their super-cool-red-and-crackly wall.

Janine and Dan were married on September 20 at the Magnolia Hotel for a beautiful wedding celebration.  Heather and I got to know this fun, loving, and creative couple when we traveled to Iowa City for their engagement session and we had a blast!  As a creative soul and a true collaborative partner, Janine was full of ideas and suggestions to get the best possible results.  Their wedding day was no exception.  We got tons of great images and are so glad to have spent the day with Dan and Janine as they publically declared their love for each other.  To add to the fun, Corrie from Corrie and Andrey Photographers (the folks who photographed my wedding), helped as a second photographer.

When Heather came home from work on Friday, she was greeted by the fragrance of some flowers just for her (I’m not much of a flower guy so she was very happily surprised!). On Saturday, we celebrated with breakfast (her favorite meal no matter what time of day) at the Farm House Cafe, did a little shopping, ran some errands, ate lunch at Spaghetti Works and relaxed all afternoon at home. It was a wonderful weekend that refueled our souls and made us grateful to be alive. We even took a spontaneous Fall family picture of out on the porch swing. Fall is officially here and things will soon start to slow down for us (which means we can get caught up on everyone’s albums!). Thank you to all our clients for patiently waiting for us and allowing us a couple days off once and a while – it gives us new creative energy to finish this year out strong!
