Krista & Chris

The other Saturday, I had the privilege of taking photos at Krista and Chris's wedding. It was a great day, spending time with a lot of fun people. The cold may have kept us inside (for the most part!!), but it was in no way a damper on the day! So, you two, here's your teazer ... enjoy! (and thanks again!!)

SUGAR!!!

The other day, Zac must've been on mom's good side -- he got his first "hold it by yourself" popsicle! feet-up, kick'n back good stuff!stick-licking good! then - on to bathe. some tricky shooting allowed us to share the moment with you!







smiles, laughs, and all-around good times had by all!

winds of change just may be blowing

This weekend's a big one for me! Krista and Chris are getting married, and I get to be their photographer! I'm absolutely THRILLED at this opportunity (thanks again, you two!) - it's going to be a great time, and I can't wait to see - and share - the results!
For now, here's some of what I've been shooting. The other day, I was coming back from scouting outdoor spots for the wedding, and found this little ancient cemetary. The storm clouds were rolling in, and that added to the "intensity" of the moment. Here's a few shots from the afternoon...three words came to mind after seeing this next shot - sounds like a good title to me..

thanks for serving

it's been a while...

...too long, i'd say. been busy trying to get my ducks in a row - some big days coming up! check back to see ... but for now, here's a bit of my inspiration - why i do what i do with my camera. i want other people to be able to enjoy theirs as much as i enjoy mine!

missin' you, ry

that pretty much says it all - it's been a busy season - lots of celebration days, and it brings loved ones to the surface - especially those that are no longer with us. ry-guy, we miss you terribly, and we're highly anticipating our reunion someday!

here's a shot of mom's boy's club

actively love those you care about - count your days, and make them count

seasons change

yes, seasons change -- and the one we're in is probably my favorite. it seems like this year, God's paintbrush has been exceptionally vivid, and the colors have been nothing short of breath-taking. i hope you've taken the time to stop and enjoy -- or at least observe, as you've driven to your turkey dinners and christmas shopping.





happy holidays -- don't let the cold trap you inside, or your camera in its bag... get out and shoot, or at least get out. breathe deep, and let the crisp cold get to the very bottom of your lungs.. and whatever you do, don't let january sneak up on you without spending time with those that matter most to you -- be with the ones you love, and let them know what they mean to you

inspiration

if you've got it, you probably know what it is...












if you don't have it -- it just may be time to do a little soul-searching...

when i find myself in need of some wind in my sails, thankfully i don't need to look far. not even outside the four walls i call home. (want to know more about that? check out our family blog -- http://http//402ec.blogspot.com/) my family is the reason i get up and go to work every day.. my wife kerry and my two boys, ry-guy (already home..and dearly missed) and z-nut (just warming up!) they push my photography skills -- giving me both great material and a desire to improve. they're patient with my "multi-shot" photo sessions. :)
so - if you continue to check back, i'm sure you'll be given more opportunity to get to know the fam!

as for you and yours... your inspiration, that is... get out there and shoot. if it's something you can catch through the lense, get to it... if not, then click with it in mind.
