Nancy Cuppy Photography bio picture

  • Hello and Welcome! My name is Nancy and I am a modern portrait photographer who lives in central South Dakota 34 miles East of Pierre. A few vital statistics about me. I am uncomplicated, spunky, sometimes dorky, okay...a lot dorky. I love to have fun and there is nothing better than a good belly laugh. Ugh...I snort when I laugh.This is important stuff right? I love kids, and have been accused on more than one occasion of acting like one. I have been married for 30 years to D, hey I'm running out of space here. We have raised three kids and as Grandpa Howie use to say,"not a bummer in the bunch". I am on a life long search for the perfect Mojito and my favorite movie is "Second Hand Lions". Humming that Toby Keith "Me" Song.
    Okay it's time to get down to business. I own a Canon and I know how to use it! FYI the only thing I load into my Canon is a memory card. I only shoot awesome high school seniors, families, little bambinos, happy couples ready to tie the knot and an occasional fine art print when I am feeling one with the earth! Sorry no weddings. Once again thank you for stopping by and as Rose said on the movie "Titanic" "come back, come back"

Deion 2013 Senior ~ Wessington Springs South Dakota Class of 2013

May 4, 2013 Posted in family, Senior Portraits

 

The weather here in rural South Dakota finally cooperated  for a brief time  to squeeze in a last minute senior shoot.  Some long awaited sunshine and warmer temperatures brought the ladies out in full force.  Well, maybe a tiny bit weather related, but I would bet they were checking out the good looking dude I was taking photos of.  How many times can several car loads of girls drive around the same block, whistling and snapping photos with their cell phones? A lot.  Hate to break it to you dad but you are going to have to spring for a new set of tires on that school car.  Deion and I had fun checking out some cool spots in Miller, SD.  We took a break and had a great  burger  at Turtle Creek Saloon while we waited for the golden hour, my favorite time to shoot. We got some great shots and some of my favorites are  in his National Guard uniform.  Thanks Deion for your service and thanks for being such a great nephew and GQ Model…NAILED IT!

Andrew & Paige Engagement | Highmore, South Dakota

January 9, 2013 Posted in engagement

I have been anxiously wanting to post this gallery and I received the go ahead yesterday as Paige has now sent out her Save the Date cards. Andrew and Paige will be getting married June 29th, 2013 in Highmore, SD. Our entire family is really excited about this wedding. Paige and her family are our close family friends. We have taken family vacations together, gone on many camping trips, watched our kids grow up together and made many memories over the years. This wedding pretty much has the stamp of FUN all over it and I am all about FUN! Our family has watched Paige grow into a beautiful young lady inside and out. We are so proud of her. Andrew, well we love Andrew he is a great guy, hardworking, great personality and it does not hurt that he looks like (Sharky) aka Adam Levine. Paige and Andrew’s little man Preston is adorable. He had the poses down and was such a little trooper.

I took Paige and Andrew’s engagement pictures over Labor Day on our annual summer camping trip. It was a hot, but beautiful evening at West Bend Recreation Area. We all jumped in the mule and found some cool locations with nice light. Thanks to my assistant Nicole for all her help. It was hard to pick a favorite so I will let you the viewers decide.

Good Looking Family

April 25, 2012 Posted in Uncategorized

It is obvious that this is a great looking family.  Not only do they look great anyone that knows them will tell you they are Good People!  I want to thank the boys for working with me even though I cut their day of hunting short.  Rachel thank you for being my assistant and helping with the reflector and flash and  of course putting up with my dorky sense of humor!

My First Model Shoot ~ Pauline

March 21, 2012 Posted in Uncategorized

I shot my first model/casting shoot this weekend.  What was really cool about it, was it was my niece Pauline, who is beyond gorgeous.  We had so much fun and some really good laughs (yes I snorted).  It was a western themed shoot, perfect for South Dakota on a perfect day with the perfect model.  Thanks Pauline and yes, you’re a HOTTIE!
