Katie+Garrett Wedding

July 21, 2007 will be a memorable day, not only for me, but for Katie and Garrett as they tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony. I, once again, tagged along with Heather Cole and her second shooter Aaron Harrison for a fun-filled day of creativity and boundless energy.

I will keep the dialogue brief, only to say that I think the fun photos speak for themselves. We shot at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, The Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, the historic Country Club Plaza, Westport and at the reception which was at the awesome and historic Uptown Theater.

So, after these past couple of weddings, I have decided that Steller Photography is going to beginning an aggressive campaign for 2008 weddings. We’ve got the talent, experience, creativity and many, many open weekends to make it happen. Tell your friends!

Two New Additions!

I am proud to say that I have two new additions to the family! Of course, here are a few photos to chronicle them. I hope you enjoy!

We added a cute little addition to my immediate household. Born May 8th and adopted last week. She is an Australian Shepherd and Golden Lab mix. She was the runt of the litter and is calm and sweet and loving. Her name is Madison (after the President…her brother was Truman and her sister was Kennedy). She is already fitting in with our routine and becoming a permanent fixture in our lives. I only wish the ever talented Erin Vey lived closer so she and Gracie could play!

Madison

My sister, Lacey (from a previous post), had her healthy baby girl! 3 hour, natural delivery with no drugs…yeah, she’s super-woman.

In the photos, you see Ruby only 24 hours young, still in the hospital. She is now a week or so old. In one of the photos, you see daddy’s proud hands holding his second daughter. I know exactly how proud he feels right now! Congratulations, Lacey & Danny and Lily!

Ruby

    Dustin! LOVE the images of Baby Ruby and of course the dawg. I am sending my hugs to your sister and her new little love! (I adore the name Ruby, by the way…very old fashioned like my Millie!)

  2. Kathy Carlisle

    Congrats to you Uncle! She is adorable and the dog is to die for as well. You guys can compare newborn stories together now…late night feedings, baby excretions, and all that other fun stuff! They are both beautiful and it must be an exciting time for your family.

  3. Shannon

    Ah- beautiful images Dustin! The puppy is the cutest thing and your niece… pure perfection :) BIG congrats!!

    ~S

  4. Erin Vey

    Oh Dustin! How can you get a puppy and live so far away from me!! I just showed Gracie the photos and she gave my monitor a big fat kiss (naughty girl). She is absolutely gorgeous. Be sure to take a pic at least once a week and post if for me!

  5. Jan

    Two cuties! I have an Australian Shepherd out here in Cali. I’m sure they would be best buddies. Congrats to your sister and the whole fam! What an exciting time.

  6. Carli

    Amazing work Dustin! I love the wedding photos and of course Ruby’s pics! Love ya babe! Oh and Madison just brings a huge smile to my face…how precious is she!!!!!!
