Valentine’s Day is just around the corner…still haven’t bought your loved one the perfect gift?  Look no further because right now I am offering 15% off maternity, newborn, senior, portrait and family photo sessions if you purchase a Cheatwood Photography gift certificate by 12pm on February 13th!  I have been asked to gift several certificates, and they are definitely appreciated!  Even though the sale ends on the 13th, the certificates are always available for purchase!

I had such a great time photographing Andrea and Mike for their engagement!  These two could NOT stop staring at each other and pretty much laughed the entire time we were taking pictures.  I can’t wait to photograph this incredibly cute couple on their wedding day.  Here’s a look at their photos!

I had such a great time photographing Erin and Chris!  I have been mentoring Wood River High School senior, Katherine, so she came along for the shoot!  When we finished the session she said “Those two will make beautiful babies.”  Ditto.  In addition to being absolutely gorgeous, these two are also a blast to be around!  Here’s a sneak peek of their engagement session

I had the honor of photographing Marla and Brett’s wedding in Minneapolis, MN this past summer.  I knew Marla from elementary school and was totally surprised when she contacted me about photographing her wedding!!! It was great catching up with Marla and our best friend, Teresa, in Minneapolis!  Marla and Brett exchanged vows at the Lake of the Isles Lutheran Church then welcomed their guests at the FABULOUS Five Event Center!  To see their slideshow, click HERE.  Now onto the photos

Marla did a fantastic job on her gift bags!

Marla’s dress and flowers were exquisite!

I LOVED the expressions on Brett’s face when he saw his Bride walking down the aisle!

We took some great photos near the Church property, and as it began to rain, we headed to town to take some fun shots!

We moved to the Five Event Center for a great reception!

The photo booth was a hit!

The cake was beautiful!

For dessert, Marla and Brett offered a soft-serve ice cream machine, accompanied by a variety of toppings!

The Kids’ tables featured chalkboards and other fun items to keep them occupied.

Hi Everyone!  Sorry it has been sooo long since I last published a post on here!  2010 was a very busy year for me, and I am still catching up!  Soon you will see lots of post on this blog, in the meantime, I thought I’d share an advertisement that was created from a Supercross race I photographed last weekend

I had such a wonderful time photographing the Grover Family!!! Chris contacted me back in February about purchasing a gift certificate for his wife, Svea for family portraits as a Valentine’s Day gift.  Svea and Chris are amazing parents to their two girls and I absolutely enjoyed getting to meet the four of them!

Oh Heather and Mark…how I love you two!!! I had the great pleasure and honor to photograph their wedding earlier this month and continue to be in great awe of this couple!  I had such a great time photographing Heather and Mark’s engagement session in August, and knew their wedding would be AMAZING!  Here’s a sneak peek of their wedding day images:

I had such a great time photographing Anne!  She’s super cute and photographs so very well!  We even found a new spot to photograph under the bridge!  Anne, have a BLAST during your senior year!

Words can’t begin to describe how cute Vanessa and Adrian are together!!! I have actually known both of them for quite a while as I work in the same building as Adrian.  When Adrian approached me several months ago to tell me that he was about to propose to Vanessa I about screamed…but he wanted to keep it secret and had even planned on proposing to “Nessie” out on a hiking trail north of Ketchum.  The proposal was soo very special to him that he wanted to make sure I was there to capture the moment with my camera.  We had planned on me heading north and walking up the hill with my camera, then he would leave shortly after with Vanessa and on my way down the trail we would say hello and I would say that I was out photographing the wildflowers then walk short ways down the trail and turn around and capture Vanessa’s expression as Adrian got down on one knee.  That didn’t happen though…instead a trip to Paris came to fruition and Adrian couldn’t pass up proposing in the world’s most romantic city!  I was absolutely tickled pink, however when Adrian asked that I photograph their engagement session and their wedding (to take place next summer).  Photographing these two’s engagement photos was soo much fun and, well, quite easy because I never once had to “ask” them to kiss!  These two are soo very much in love, they are always connected!  Now onto the photos!
