Highly recommend these

The earphones that come with the ipod are horrible. Our quest to find a nice set of earphones ended. Sennheiser makes a great set of earphones that sound great and feel good to wear. When my set finally took a dump I found a pair of these sitting on Kats desk. Man they sound good! Highly recommend them, especially if you work out and jam to your tunes!

Wedding update! Getting more excited every day. Currently we are scheduled to go to Sidney a few times, Alliance, Cheyenne, Torrington, and a few local weddings. We still have several Saturday's open. If you are looking for a wedding photographer email us at info at spectrumphoto.com and we will gladly help you out.

Is it hot?

For the past 4 months our department has been training on the Firefighter 2 class for the state of Nebraska. Its a huge class and the curriculum is less than 12 months old I believe. Gering is probably the 3rd or 4th city in Nebraska to have this class. Pretty cool.

Classes are every Tuesday night. Last night I took the camera and shot a few because we were working with live fire and foam application. I have been wanting to snap some real emotion fire photos, but usually when that happens I am actually working the fire, not snapping photos. So training is my only option.

Just glanced through the photos and these two caught my eye. Its tough to photograph because it was at night, but also because of the heat and water in the air. Not to mention a huge exposure gap between the dark firefighters and the bright fire and if you use flash the reflection from the gear just blows everything out. Probably one of the more difficult things to photograph.

Jaxon is here!

Im so excited for my buddy Brandon and his wife Amber. Saturday they became proud parents of a little boy. They are our dearest friends and you might remember their daughter from this post. Times like this makes me love my job even more because I get to photograph this little guy from the start.

See, the more I photograph people the more I want to get to know them and their story. As photographers we capture a moment in time. We are able to tell the rest of the world, and the people that come after us, that we were here. A photograph is proof that, in this case, Jaxon was born. Think of it as evidence that we lived and generations that follow us can investigate our story. And I get to be a part of that. Thats pretty cool!

So, meet Jaxon. 6 pounds 3 ounces. Congrats Brandon, Amber and Jade. Be proud!

Another family sitting

This threesome came to see us this week. Ken photographed them in the studio. He wanted to focus on the little girl and got some great shots.

I do not know how we lived without Kubota's action.


Have a great weekend everyone. Ken is making a trip to a seminar in Denver. The girls will be spending time with the family and I will either head to Colorado or go to Bayard and get the 411 on some dog training.

Messing around with video settings

Testing the embedding. More to come...

Okay, it worked but the music so does not go with the photos lol. Hey give me a break, its the first one we created. A bit long but its a full sitting DVD. We have been offering DVD's for our Seniors but we have been searching for a way to upgrade the styles. I think Ken found a good company that offers cool shows. What do you think?

How could I have forgot...

... to post this session. Ken photographed a senior a few weeks ago. She wanted some fun in the snow!


They went out to the monument to snap a few more.

Deadline fast approaching

We are finally cleaning up our storage and wedding rack. I cannot believe we kept 2002 weddings open. We truly apologize about not updating everything.

So part of our apology included a 10% discount to all of our clients that placed their order before February 15th. And the response has been huge! We appreciate everyone that has contacted up and are taking advantage of this offer. So, if you haven't yet contacted us do so. We are talking about some good savings here! Not to mention having one amazing wedding books.

The 2009 wedding season is looking better and better. Im excited to be traveling to Sidney a few times this year as well as Alliance, Wyoming and of course a few local weddings. Im so pumped for our clients this year.


Sorry about no photos or posts the past week or so. This time of year we are super slow and trying to catch up on several things. We haven't had many sittings; just working on commercial things. We will be going full speed again real soon.

Meet Stone...

A huge ball of loving fur.


My best friend Matt and his wife Reba got a new dog, their first "child". Matt also purchased a new truck so he brought both to the studio to show off. So mean...

The name Stone goes way back and such a long and stupid story that it wouldn't fit in this post, literally. Personally, Stone looks does look like a bear. Whatever the name Im sure you would agree with me that this dog should be on a Hallmark "I miss you" card.
