Children make you want to start life over. ~Muhammad Ali A very dear friend had a baby not to long ago. I have been far away and not realizing how long it’s actually been I came ready to shoot a little baby only to find a boy. Bodhi immediately began to show off his new Christmas tool set upon my arrival. A spitting image of his father, Ian, Bodhi had no trouble keeping busy and being industrious. Christmas was good to Bodhi this year. With his new tool set, work bench and assorted firetrucks and infrastructure I am sure Bodhi wouldn’t have any problem building our next city. Not bad for 16 months. Children are an absolute blast to photograph. …
Jeannie
Finding an enthusiastic subject who really wants to get some pictures is always a lot of fun. Jeannie had enough of her mother asking for pictures, so she decided it was time to go get some. Light was falling fast by the time we met up and we used our towns river walk to steal some pictures, most to the hoots and hollers of local patrons and passer-bys. As soon as a group would even think about gathering, we were off to the next space. Later Jeannie mentioned she felt like a movie star. And, who is to know? I also know her mother and she is one who does not get along with computers very well. I wanted her …
Sikorsky Christmas
This Christmas weekend I had the fortunate pleasure of spending some time with my Unkle Jon and friends. A late afternoon Christmas dinner filled with more food and abundance then we could make a dent in, complete with ham, turkey and homemade eggnog. A neighborhood affair, all the cool kids from the block came out for the feast. And the best weather of the week. The very next day is when the “Winter Storm” hit hard! After losing any real light from sunset and fully getting in the way of another family photog, it was time for some seriously quick strobist lighting put to the test. Jon Sikorsky owns and operates “Diamond Quest“, a security and surveillance integrator and installer. …
Chris & Richard
I made it to the Brown’s just in time for their Christmas tree decorating party, complete with eggnog and candy canes. It was a nice closing for this traveler’s journey. The Brown’s are blessed with an amazing home, a beautiful family, and an incredible bond. I had a blast following the kids around the yard and being a part of getting ready for their annual indoor picture. The season is here and so is the weather. The snow and cold keeps me on my journey south. Thank you all for your hospitality and well wishes. God Bless and Merry Christmas!
Lauren & The Boyz
Lauren’s heart is as big as the family. Thank you for all your generosity. And when it came to our turn we left the lake for some river action. The boys are high energy and I was amazed at how Lauren was actually able to slow them down and focus for some pictures. True boys who never leave a stone unturned or question left unasked. I think they even enjoyed the process. There were still some trees with leaves and the colors were great. A perfect way to end the day and this round of shooting on the East Coast. Happy Holidays!
