Photos from the July 10, 2010 Straatmeyer Cousins Reunion can be found HERE.

I have included double options for the family photos. If you would like an 8x10, please order from the 8x10 image. It's already been cropped so that the image will work in that format.

Gone Fishing

Sometimes the best 'portraits' are candid images capturing moments shared between people. My husband and I visited his aunt and uncle this weekend at their private pond. We got a chance to go fishing and tell some lies. I hope that you enjoy these photos.
