Goodbye, Old blog!!

Yes, it's time to go. You've served me well, Blogspot Blog, but it is time for a newer, sleeker, sexier blog to take your place. I know you won't take it personally.

Seriously - update your bookmarks! The new SDP blog is nice and easy to remember:
www.sarahdickersonblog.com

What's new? Well, it just LOOKS better. But now, you will be able to download pricing and product guides (the latter still in progress), read a FAQ on portrait sessions, read about me and my work (like you REALLY want to do that..) as well as easily link to my main site, Facebook page and Twitter for those of you who do that. Plus the usual blog stuff.

There will not be any further posts to this blog. I've imported over the summer's posts to the new blog (from mid-May onward) and all new posts will be to the new blog from now on. So....as I said..change your bookmarks! And enjoy! (and let me know what you think....)

oops.

If anyone has recently tried to contact me through my email link on the right side of this blog, I didn't get it. It's because I'm so hopelessly bad at writing HTML, I put my own email address in wrong. Soooooo....if you are wondering why I'm ignoring you, I'm not. Your email went to that big internet wasteland in the sky. Try your request again! We're now good to go.... :)

Lindsey G: senior

Meet the adorable Lindsey. This was an easy shoot because I'd direct her a bit and she'd just go for it! And she hung in there despite the fact it was a bit toasty out. We had fun with this one (um, at one point I was laying on my stomach in the middle of the street in a skirt??!?) and I left with hundreds of images to go through (!) but I've pulled a few favorites here for you all!









































this image looks so Hollywood!

Volker Farm Shoot

Last Sunday Jim and I had the pleasure of photographing the equine members of the Volker family - all five of them. We took the Bonanza and flew up to Tarkio, Missouri - just south of the Iowa border - where Marvetta and her husband Steve picked us up at the airport and took us to their gorgeous farm, surrounded by a golf course - I had it easy in finding good areas to shoot on their property! We did portraits of each horse individually, and then turned them loose in the pasture to get some "action shots" of them playing. After we were done, Jim and I were treated to two HEAPING bags of sweet corn, which we are STILL enjoying every night! Thanks you guys for your hospitality and I hope you LOVE the photos! Here is but a snippet of the nearly 500 shots I fired off in the matter of about 4 hours....























Shots of hubby Jim assisting (note the "attention getter" broom...)- I am very lucky to have a husband that supports my business like he does :)

Bev + Jason: engaged

Bev and Jason are getting married in just a couple of weeks now, so we scoped out their wedding and reception site at Shawnee Lake in Topeka, Kansas to go over last minute details and, since I'd not been there before, get some ideas for the day of the wedding. The pergola at the lake, which is where the ceremony will be, is completely surrounded by all kinds of incredible floral landscaping. We definitely will not be short on color in our photos on their wedding day! While we were there, we did some impromptu shots - I don't know that I'd call this a full-fledged "engagement" session, but in any event, here are a few! Bev and Jason - looking forward to photographing your wedding in two weeks!
