ShootDay 2.0!

We spent Saturday hanging with a bunch of awesome photographers for ShootDay 2.0! We had some gorgeous weather which gave us some gorgeous light, so I can't wait to see what everyone got :)

Kelley and I have so much fun doing these little, laid back mini-workshops, and we plan on doing a lot more, so if you're interested, let us know!

Here's the list of peeps we spent the evening with. If your name is on here, and I don't have a link, just send it to josh@joshsolarphoto.com and I'll update the post:

Heather Cole (who made a guest appearance and styled our couples, thanks, Heather!)
Jeremy Arnold
Jolene Grabill
Patrick Scanlan
Jimmy Douglas
Sarah Chatham
Bethany Peasley
Amy Kuntz
Julie Branyan
Sharaya Mauck
Sarah Crawmer

So, here they are. After hours and hours going through all the images I shot (over 1200), I finally got it narrowed down to the low number of 32 images!


First up, we have Ashley & Tony. Aren't they so sweet?













Next up, we have Jordan & Richard. They were so amazing, too!

Ryan, Jr. and Brianna

Well, the weather is finally starting to get nice enough to go back outside and chase the wee ones around with my camera :)

Today, I chased Ryan, Jr. around. I've known Ryan (the dad) since I was 10 and was the new kid on the block when I moved to Missouri. It's so nice to see his beautiful family!

Here are some of my favorites...

The gorgeous light brings out the color in his bright, blue eyes.

Can you see yourself in there?

We focused mainly on Ryan this evening, because we recently did a session with Brianna






Tickle, tickle :)



He kept falling down and rolling on the ground for me...thanks for the help!

Fun in the City....Market that is :)

I finally made it down to the studio to work for a little bit today, and Kelley and Ashley looked sooooo stinkin' cute and hippie-ish that I had to drag them out for a quick mini-sesh :)

And, in case you're wondering, you might just see more of Kelley and Ashley if you sign up for Shootday 2.0!

Apples :)

I really Walkered this one...inside joke :)

I really think Kelley makes a cute hippie/pirate...don't you? Arrrrghhhhh!

Love it!

Seriously, how cute are they?


They like to gaze into each other's eyes...A LOT...Sam, Sam, watch out, brotha :)




4 feet + 4 different socks = LAME...but the boots are cute :)

Wanted to say something witty, but couldn't think of anything :)

Napolean Dynamite anyone?




Apple :)

Please Take Me Home: March 6

I know I got these up a little later than normal, but it's been crazy busy for the Solars lately. Either way, as usual, if you see a little cutie you want to go pick up, get off your butt and head to Wayside Waifs!

Rosemary, what kind of dog is this? He's sooooooo cute!
