About CJ Wilkes Photography

Capturing Your Dance In The Rain is such a thrill and joy to me. Being able to look back on those special times through beautiful artistic imagery makes it a worthwhile challenge.
Learning to Dance in the Rain has been very easy for me. I am drawn to Water & Life! The exciting part for me is to teach you to enjoy your moment in the dance as I capture it from behind my camera.
Looking forward to Capturing Your Dance In The Rain

Road Trip State line Break

Spring Break came and my little sister called asking for some help. I decided it was important enough to drive to Utah with all my 5 children to help her move. On the way to Utah we said hello and goodbye to the states we left and the states we joined. When we reached the Utah/Idaho boarder we decided to do a funny picture with the kids. I wanted the children to be eating, drinking (soda), and goofing off so I could create a cute card to send to family and friends. My kids are the cutest little sports ever. Well, we did our mini photo shoot and were ready to head out when a car with 3 men stopped behind us. I was loading my children into the van when I heard one of the men call to the other 2 to say they needed to load back in their car because their camera/phone had died and they could not take the picture. Well, I braved up, (cause I am such a wimp with strangers!!!) and told them that if they wanted I would take a picture or 2 of them.  I gave them my business card and they took me up on my offer. :) I am so glad I did!

These 3 young men were from my state and were heading to a funeral and were brothers. I almost choked and had to hold back my tears because it reminded me of my husband and 2 of his brothers taking a road trip after their brother died in 1994.  It was a nice break and a special moment to take the photos of these young men. Thank you for the opportunity guys!!!

Here are their images and then a couple of my silly kids.

(I know they are all similar but we were shooting quickly in dust storm territory and there are only 4 :) )

 

This was a dust storm I had just past and decided my kids needed potty breaks so I could take a shot:

And while waiting for the boys to stretch their legs I had to play with my macro because macro is just so much fun!

And no trip is worth mentioning without pictures of my own kids!!!

I had to laugh when I found out that my husbands cousin made this sign :)   Thanks for looking and thanks guys for letting me capture this moment in your trip.
