Parties


This is the season for family get togethers and Christmas Parties and like anyone else we have our own families and friends. We are not available the weekend of Thanksgiving nor the weekend of Christmas. We have had a lot of request for those times, however, we place our families first. We have some dates open the week after Christmas for those family portraits.


Babies... We are getting a lot of babies... and women ready to have them.. This is great and we love it.

Family Weddings

We had another family wedding this weekend, I enjoy shooting family weddings but I will admit they are more work than weddings where we don't know anyone. We had a great time though with this one, the hall where everything took place was great, and I had plenty of help.

We got some great pictures, The little ring bearer set a new world record for not only the speed in which he got down the isle, but also in the number of trips he made during the wedding. I love kids in wedding they are always fun and add lots of life.
Below is a picture of my #1 assistant and myself, he took his job very seriously. Although he did get distracted by a pretty little girl later in the evening, she came up to me and ask if she could marry him. I'm not quite ready to let him go yet, but I can see where he would be a good catch.

Wonderful weather - Red Tail hawk

It's been nice out during the week, this hawk was captured trying to have lunch while I was on my lunch. His prey, a little gray squirel, managed to tease him badly. This guy went after him 3 times before giving up the chase around and around the tree trunk. It was funny to watch, hopefully he found lunch somewhere else. You could just see the fustration in his eyes.

We have a family wedding this coming weekend, I'm actaully shooting it, something I normally tell people not to do, but it will be fun. We are handling it like anyother wedding, with a few exceptions, We will acutally have three photographers plus my son shooting (okay, so he may just be doing grab shots, but for a 5 year old thats a lot). My only hope is that he don't show us professionals up and get better pictures.

To by couples with upcomming weddings, Don't worry you won't have a 5 year old showing up at your wedding to take pictures, unless he is on your guest list.

We have a party this Thursday night as mentioned before, a Pure Romance, Mary Kay, and Glamour/boudoir portraits. This is a first for us and we are looking forward to having a good time and getting some great pictures. If you are attending see you there, if you are interested in perhaps doing one of your own let me know.
