Zack- Senior '09

Another great senior session, with a quiet but very interesting kid. Zack has been lucky enough to do quite a bit of traveling, bringing in some of his "treasures" from overseas for part of his session (sorry I forgot to include them in the sneak peek). I can't wait for our outdoor session, as we will be traveling to a new location, which is always fun for me! Good Luck this weekend at tryouts, I'm sure you'll rock it!

What a great year 2008 has been for Crumrine Photography. I have had the pleasure of photographing some awesome couples as they start their new lives together, adorable newborns, and so many familiar faces. I have had the chance to move from my basement, to my garage, and now into a downtown studio. I hope 2009 is as wonderful and 2008 was.

"Let this coming year be better than all the others. Vow to do some of the things you've always wanted to do but couldn't find the time. Call up a forgotten friend. Drop an old grudge, and replace it with some pleasant memories. Vow not to make a promise you don't think you can keep. Walk tall, and smile more. You'll look ten years younger. Don't be afraid to say, 'I love you'. Say it again. They are the sweetest words in the world."

- Ann Landers

Brett- Senior '09

It was my pleasure to photograph yet another good looking senior guy. Poor Brett came in to the studio so nervous, but I hope he is as happy with these images as I am. These first ones remind me of one of my favorite actors. Any guesses who I am thinking of?

I can't wait for our outdoor session, hope the weather cooperates this time!

Video From Santa

I stumbled across this great website http://72.55.134.30/home , which offers personalized videos from Santa. Sawyer loved his, even though Santa didn't say his name. If we would have named him Rylan like I wanted it would have been on the list though. To view Sawyer's video click on the link below.

Baby Baylor

This little sweetheart was completely content so long as I left her swaddled in her blankets, the moment I tried to do any other poses she sure let me know that she was not having any of it. So in the end she won, but I did get quite a few adorable images.

Non-photography related post #1

I found the cutest little blog, but be prepared you may gain 5 pounds unexpectedly.

http://www.bakerella.blogspot.com/

I wish I had the patience and the creativity that she puts into each one of her creations.

Enjoy!!

The PhotoBooth

I have been waiting for the perfect to wedding to try out something new and exciting. The Jones wedding offered a great mix of fun and willing participants. So I now give you some fantabulicous PhotoBooth images!

The PhotoBooth is available for Weddings, Parties, Dances, Reunions, or anytime you would like to have an unique photography experience. Call Courtney for more information, 402-239-8922.

Sweet Miss Calee

Look what I had the pleasure of photographing, an adorable little chunky monkey. Miss Calee is one of the sweetest babies and those rolls, oh my goodness I could just eat her up!

Mr. & Mrs. Martin

I have had the privilege of photographing some awesome weddings. Bubba and Tonya's wedding was no exception.

Tonya was a beautiful bride and Bubba cleans up real nice too!!

Brown eyed girl! Is she not the cutest little flower girl.

You know you are working with an amazing couple when they are willing to stand out in the freezing cold and wind, just so I can get a few images with the Gage County Courthouse lights behind them.

This is one of my favorite wedding reception shots of all time. These adorable boys were sliding around on their knees so I had them slide toward me. I am lucky that I didn't get taken out on this shot!

Thank you for choosing Crumrine Photography to help share and capture your special day.

Sorry no witty title

With so much on my mind I can't come up with a clever title for this post. But these two made it easy to do a photoshoot, they are such an adorable couple, so easy to work with and very much in love. I can't wait to shoot their wedding next May.

Mr. & Mrs. Jones

This weekend's wedding was, and I quote "Fantabulous"! A gorgeous couple, beautiful

weather, and a wonderful wedding party make for some awesome images. This first

image may be my current favorite wedding image, not very often do I get to photograph

so many diamonds in one shot!

Stunning!

Loved the bouquets, the pincushion what-cha-ma-call-its were so unique.

Is this cool or what? They had personalized Jones Soda Bottle's with images from their engagement session, with none other than Crumrine Photography.

The reception was held at the Liederkranz in Grand Island, which is just beautiful.

Next up: Images from the "Photo Booth" set up at their reception.

Miss Tayla: One Year

One of my favorite little babies is turning into a little girl. I always enjoy my sessions with adorable Miss Tayla, she is so full of expression. Makes for an easy session and adorable images.

She has a little bit of a ornery side too! I think she might have been doing a little victory dance, rubbing in the loss to Nebraska that we had just suffered the day before! Silly Girl!

White Christmas Mini Sessions Cancelled

I apologize for the inconvenience, but I have had to cancel the White Christmas Sessions. My daughter is scheduled to have surgery that week and with no other dates to work with I have had to cancel all scheduled sessions. I do have a few openings left to squeeze in last minute sessions before the holiday cut off. Give me a call as these sessions are sure to fill up quickly!

Three's a charm

Looks like three has become my number. Every session for the past week has been with groups of three children and this session was no exception. What a cute group of kiddos!

November Rain

My favorite season is fall, although I am always sad to see it go as I know it leads to the cold and dark winter months. I was outside on a little walk with Millie when I noticed how gorgeous the leaves were laying on the cold wet ground. I hope you can enjoy the fall colors even if they are no longer in the trees.

Recently I have been feeling a little like the words to this song. My husband has had an extended weekend and as much as I love him and want to spend time with him, he really drives me nuts!

"Sometimes I need some time...on my own, Sometimes I need some time...all alone, Everybody needs some time...on their own"

A little 90's music trivia- Name the group that recorded this song.
