Not too much to say…..I’m posting after midnight, so my brain is in bedtime mode. 
I wanted to post a couple pictures of “A”, our latest senior.   We met him down at the Lewis Central stadium (go Titans!) for pictures…..we LOVE to go “on location.”   Not only does it ensure that everyone’s pictures look different, [...]

Happy Birthday!

This blue-eyed sweetheart is ours.    Well, actually, she’s a “daddy’s girl”, so maybe she’s just “his.” 
Chad had a chance to take some pictures of her while we were in Okoboji.   She turned two while we were there!  Oh, and “Blue Puppy” is her new companion these days….he’s starting to look a [...]

And the winner is…..

The Jones family!   Their daughter recently had her senior pictures taken with us!  
They entered the contest to win a $200 j. selander photography gift certificate by guessing what the “j” in our studio name means.  Congrats!  Oh, and if you didn’t catch it in earlier posts……it stands for Joseph (Chad’s “real” name) and Janna.

j. selander Weddings???

We are asked frequently if we photograph weddings……the answer at this point is still “no” (although we are flattered that you’d want us around you all day on the most important day of your life!).

We received this note from one of our clients…….it really reinforces why we do what we do!   They’re not just pictures….we’re not just photographers….we’re archivers.   Helping you remember what your kids were really like…..from the little smiles to the pouts to the scrunched up noses.  The joy, the fun, the innocence, the energy ……we don’t shoot [...]

Dumpsters and Prom Dresses???

Chad here, or should I say Joseph? (blogging that is, not the girl in the picture)  She is “M”.

She is also an artist which made it fun for Janna and I to shoot her.  In case you were wondering- the focus is meant to be on the artwork in the below picture-same with the dog [...]

Rain, rain go away!

Our outdoor session had to be postponed due to the rain, but we had fun anyway!    I’m going to be honest…..the studio isn’t our favorite place to shoot (we love to use natural light instead!), but “M” made us forget we were cooped up on a HOT, humid day!  Okay….maybe not…our studio was HOT too!
