I was asked a simple question a few months ago: How much would it cost to hire me to photograph the grade 12 graduation? Since I really enjoy being able to do things for my old school (from filling in for a year as a basketball coach to taking the senior’s graduation photos), my soft … Continue reading »
No, Riley is not walking yet. Sigh. That would be cool, if he were; but, alas, he is not. I don’t know if it means that I am more of a bad parent then a bad photographer, but I finally got around to shooting Riley’s headshot. I do recall that last year at approximately this … Continue reading »
I just finished cleaning out my fish room. If anyone out there is counting, I admit, it has been ten months since I made my graceful exit from the marine aquarist’s stage. Ten months and I finally cleaned out my fish room. Part of the delay was because of procrastination and part of it was … Continue reading »

I know the official rules of nicknaming expressly forbid giving yourself a nickname, but in this case I think … Continue reading »
Yesterday I started taking pictures of my kids for my wife. She has all the frames picked out already she just needs them filled with something and like a Landscaper with the worst yard on his block, so I have been putting off taking some head-shots till yesterday. As I mentioned before, Heather usually takes … Continue reading »
About three weeks ago Ava decided that she wanted to plant a tree branch in the dirt and call it a tree. She was super excited and beaming from ear to ear as she showed me the scraggly little thing that she broke off the end of a branch from a pine tree near our … Continue reading »
On Wednesday, we were invited to the new studio of our friend Heather, a wonderful photographer who has been doing our family portraits for years. Her specialty is children’s photography and with her business getting a fabulous face lift due to the addition of a studio loft downtown, her photography is heading in a pretty amazing new direction for … Continue reading »
