Hey all!

I just wanted to drop a line and let you know that my wonderful wife was diagnosed this past Wednesday with Papillary Thyroid Cancer. The good news is that it’s very treatable, and per the doctor, we have nothing to worry about. She’s already undergone two surgeries to have the nodules and thyroid removed, and here in 4-6 weeks, she’ll take a radiation/iodine pill that should kill the remaining cancer cells. My son also went in for surgery last Monday to have a tube put in his ear, and that was a quick and successful surgery. So, while all of this has been weighing on us, we have been very blessed with the outcome of Luke’s surgery and knowing that Nicole’s cancer is treatable! Please keep Nicole in your prayers.

Take care,
Joshua

I had the great opportunity to shoot Luke and Matt’s senior pictures a few weeks ago! These guys have been friends since third grade! Both very polite and fun to hang out with for a few hours during their shoot. If I need anyone to hold my reflector for some light “feathering”…I’m calling these guys!! Here’s a couple pics of each along with their video’s I created! Enjoy!!!

Shae dropped in with Ethan this past evening, and we created some dramatic images! Thanks Shae for being a good “sport”, and Ethan for working the reflector like a pro!! Here’s a couple of my favorite shots from that shoot, along with a video…

Everyone…meet Matt! We met early on a Saturday morning, and had some great light to work with as the sun rose here in Carthage. I must say…all serious faces had to be requested, as this young man had a smile on the whole time!!

I had a great time on this shoot! The Holman’s are great friends, and Abby and Zach…what a couple cute kids!!! Here’s a couple of my favorite shots, along with a cool video!

Ok…so, I’ve been a little lazy on the blog…that’s a fact! I could say that I’ve been busy taking pictures and proofing my mind out…but, that’s no excuse!

Several new things are in the works for Life Captured Photography!

I’ve created a couple packages for all you expecting mothers! These include a “Beginnings Package”, which includes a maternity shoot, and a newborn shoot. I’ve also created my “Milestones” package, which is a 3, 6, 9, 12 month shoot for your new child! Please email me for details and pricing!!

Please note that prices and packages will change beginning of 2008. I’ll be doing away with package pricing on family/senior shoots, and will offer discounts on dollar amount ordered. This way, YOU are able to choose what fits your needs!!

I’m sooo far behind on posting pictures!! I’m going to post photographs from some of my most recent shoots!
