In review of our last year, we have found that many of our clients enjoy working with us because we're laid back and have a passion for what we do. This is clearly one of the reasons why we have become one of the best Des Moines Wedding Photographers in a short amount of time.

We don't turn down clients because they don't look like a model, or happen to be an average American with a size 8-14 waist... Every bride is beautiful, no matter what the size! There are so many photographers who may not post images from a particular wedding on their blog or website. Why? Because the bride may have been a plus-sized bride, and that's not the image that they want to portray. We have found over the years that having an open mind, and an appreciation for all clients allows us to capture the true love and romance that surrounds each and every wedding day. Our experience has taught us to be patient and anticipate the moments of passion and love that unfolds on this beautiful day. This is what makes us who we are and shows that we have a genuine interest in capturing a love story. Our clients are more than just a number...

If you're looking for a Des Moines Wedding Photographer that will capture the memories of your day without worry and stress, call today - (515) 963-5449

Sometimes I feel the art of photography is taken for granted.There are so many people with digital camera's nowa-days, and the word "photographer" is over-used. Many people who have the ability to take good pictures will soon call themselves professional photographers.

Photographer - noun
a person who takes photographs, esp. one who practices photography professionally.

So the word can be used loosely to describe anyone who takes photographs. Many of our wedding and portrait clients would agree that we set ourselves apart. We do this by controlling the viewable quality that is perceived as coming from our photography studio. A lot of times we'll release photographs on social media sites such as Facebook. This allows our images to be seen by thousands of people within minutes. It's also nice to see comments and feedback on your services to assure you that you're still doing an amazing job. Other clients can tag the images or albums and recommend you to their friends. In my opinion, it is the most economical and efficient way of advertising in the 21st century. 

We love children's photography because we love capturing a young life that is blossoming right in front of you. Children's portraits are a challenge because they're so rambunctious, and always moving. We like to take the lifestyle approach to photographing children in their every day environment. Show who they are, and what they were like at this certain age.

Wedding photography is our love - capturing the emotion and details that go into each wedding day is truly an honor. Every wedding is a part of history. It cannot be redone; it's not easily rescheduled. It is what it is, and that is something special! Having the ability to capture love as it is is such a powerful thing. Telling a story that can be relived for years to come is an art, not something your friend or uncle can do with a nice camera. The process is long, and the hours spent behind a camera and computer are many. This is your day for bridal photography. Don't take a chance - hire a professional wedding photographer.

Senior Pictures are what we love the most. We are commissioned to create amazing senior portraits that define our subjects. The expression, the dimples, and sometimes attitude, that defines who this young adult is. Our clients are typically looking for something different when they come to our studio. We invest a lot of time and money in making sure we offer something different to our senior clients.

The effort put into the capture of each image, and the work put in after the image is captured is what makes a professional photographer. Know the difference when hiring someone to capture a piece of family history.

Call our Ankeny photography studio today to book your session. 515-963-5449

Christie and I, both professional photographers, will be traveling to Kansas City this weekend to discuss the Wedding Photography market with some key individuals. We'll also be spending a lot of time with the infamous owners of Barbour Backdrops.

This winter we invested some money in one of Barbour's beautiful backdrops and lattice box sets. They work so well for our studio portraits and give a unique depth to our portraits. I could go on and on about how amazing they really are, but I would rather send you over to their website and their art speak for itself. Go Here: http://www.barbourbackdrops.com

We feel that education and vendor interaction is a huge part of our success. We listen to our clients and other vendors to find out exactly what our clients want. There are so many amazing photographers around the country, but there are not enough that actually listen to what their clients want. We strive to give our clients exactly what they expect and more.

I look forward to meeting with vendors at the HOA Professional Photographers convention in Kansas City and hope to make some great connections with some local Wedding venues in Kansas City.

We made it back from the Iowa City Bridal Show late last night. Iowa City is a beautiful town, with so much architecture and history. It gives us such a good feeling when Brides come up to our booth and say you're the Best Wedding Photographer here!

We made some AMAZING contacts, and got information to be linked to a major player in the floral design market. I was attacked by one of the other vendors and she demanded that I contact this specific person. Who is very accustomed to BIG events that attract celebrities from around the world. So maybe we'll get our foot in the door!

Otherwise, the turnout wasn't as expected, but we talked to a few people that seemed to be very interested in our photojournalist wedding photography! I don't prefer to describe our style that way, but that's what people understand. I would call us lifestyle Wedding Photographers who capture the true essence of this very beautiful day.

Des Moines Wedding Photographers break into the Iowa City Wedding Photographers scene!!!

Did some more reading on Adobe Photoshop Lightroom today, and put together some images that I'll be using for the upcoming Webinar. 

Images will be ranging from Senior Pictures, Children's Portrait's, Newborn baby portraits, and more Senior Pictures... I've heard that most of the attendees are portrait photographers and do not focus on Wedding Photography. So I'll gear my lesson towards those individuals! 

Also got some exciting news from Adobe. They'll be donating a few things for me to give away during the webinar!!! 

We'll be posting links to some important vendors and partners sometime this week! Check them out on http://www.huffakerphotography.com 

Also, thanks to McKenna Pro for allowing me to do this Webinar! 

Please follow the BLOG for new tips and tricks as well...
