Death of a Leprachaun

Michael Rourke, a shoemaker had worked a long and hard day repairing shoes for the people of Omaha, Nebraska. When the day ended Michael decided to go to his favorite pub, the Dubliner. As Michael sat drinking his pint of Guinness, his waitress started taking a liking to him. A local photographer took some portraits of the two of them as they talked. The leprechaun counted his riches while the waitress looked on thinking her flattering looks deserved some of his pot of gold. Mr. Rourke smelled the waitress' greed and waited until he was out of the waitress' sight to make his escape out the back. To his surprise the waitress was at the top of the steps and ready to give the Leprechaun a good push.








All images were sketched, directed, and created by CATTURA VITA. Special thanks to models Rodney and Sarah, as well as the Dubliner. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Kasey & Kyle's Wedding

Kasey & Kyle were married March 7, 2009. Cold but fun is the best way to describe their wedding. We picked a random dirt road in Valley, Nebraska to photograph. The wedding party braved the cold to get some fun shots. From there we went to two different bars. These are some of the coolest wedding portraits I've taken in a bar. The reception was at the Regency Lodge in Omaha. A memorable time at the reception was when two guys in the wedding party decided to go to the hotel bar and take over the piano bar. Great job on the piano!

Derek Trucks, considered to be a guitar prodigy, has played with the Allman Brothers Band, Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton to name a few. Check out their new album Already Free. Thanks for the good times. See you this summer!
