Haney-King Wedding

What a wonderful couple and excellent opportunity to document their special day. I met this fine couple through her mother and daddy. We shot some engagement/save the date shots before Christmas. It was then that we began talking about their wedding and they asked me to shoot their wedding.

The ring bearer didn't mind having his picture made with the bride. But he wasn't quite as cooperative when it came to that "kissing stuff." But he made it and survived.

We run two cameras to make sure that no opportunity for a special photo is missed. The flower girl was excited about the job she had to do but it is clear to anyone that sees this picture that she was in awe of the beautiful bride.

Senior Shots of Brooke

Brooke is a very special young lady to me. Her grandfather and mother worked for my husband and I in our retail store. Her mother was an outstanding baby sitter to my children and they were in her wedding. Now Brooke hopes to babysit my grandchildren when she goes to college. So you can only imagine how proud I was when they asked me to shoot her senior pictures.
As you can see, Brooke is extremely photogenic and it was really easy to get fantastic shots. She is also very particular about what her portraits will look like. No problem there. I love shooting at different locations and most people are often surprised when they she where I take them. I love seeing the expressions on their faces when they say, "You took that where????"

Welcome to my photography blog

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Ball Photography's blog. I want to share my passion of photography and show you samples of my work, hoping that you will call when you need the services of a cost-efficient, caring photography and videographer. My son, Blake, joins me in wedding photography so that all aspects of your special day is covered.

I guess you could say that I've inherited this passion from my dad. I can never remember a time in my life that he was not taking pictures of people and activities, documenting faces and activities that others never thought about. Of course, my childhood is well-documented. I also remember opening the china cabinet doors and sitting in awe at his camera, one of those old fold down type cameras. I couldn't wait to learn how to use that camera. Unfortunately, I never did. But I couldn't wait to own my own camera. With the birth of my two children, I had the perfect excuse. I taught and advised the school yearbook for twenty-five years. It was my goal to document everything that occured through the school district to make sure that every historical moment was recorded on film. Even though I no longer advise the yearbook, I continue taking pictures of football and basketball games, proms, banquets, and competitive events.

I finally made the decision to branch out into semi-professionalism after being asked to take photographs for weddings of former students. I tried my hand at senior pictures and love it. Then several friends asked me to take family photos. My new love blossumed. I take a photojournalistic approach in taking photographs. It is my goal to document each and every detail of a wedding, faces of children and students, and capture the emotions and love shared with engaged and newlywed couples.
