Portraits of Family
I'm really excited to be offering these gorgeous new albums for weddings and families. After much searching, I finally found my dream album. It comes with great print quality and binding, a simple classic cover with the ability to add your name on the spine and a sturdy case to protect your investment. Ask me to see a variety of cover swatches. The album featured here is an 8x10.
Just back from a wonderful trip to California, complete with a dip in the Ojai swimming hole, pollywog collection, up close encounters with owls, hawks and falcons, four visits to the beach, boogie boarding, sand tunnels, pool swimming, popsicles, butterfly encounters, diet Coke and Menthos rockets, birthday candles, fireworks, pancakes, BBQ, family time, photo shoots, macro lens acquisition, talks with amazing friends, sunsets, lavender, oranges, Trader Joe's, and croc charm bracelets. Thanks Mom & Dad for being so amazing and generous.

I had the pleasure of photographing these beautiful young men last weekend. What a joy to see kids thoroughly thrilled with nature and exploration. The oldest was confident that he would not have a good time and would not smile. He looked at me 5 minutes into the shoot, after he'd jumped off a crate and swung his sword a few times, and said "this is not at all what i thought this was going to be like". I'm so very glad!
My oldest son turned 10 this weekend. I'm thankful that we were able to create some memorable experiences for this great kid on his milestone birthday (double digits and all). It seems like we're on the cusp of new things: new independence, new abilities and a new confidence. On Friday night my son got on stage and introduced his uncle's band at a fundraiser. Oddly he was scared but excited. He's willingness to speak in front of large groups doesn't come from me. He did great. The one word he got turned around was "acoustic" which he called 'acous-tastic" which sounds better anyways.
My son's birthday wish was to have an dragon party with a sleep over at grandma & grandpa's with all his cousins. We did 'pin the fire on the dragon', launched a fiery rocket 700ft into the air, ate dragon cake and watched "How to Train Your Dragon" projected onto the living room wall. It was a pretty fabulous day.
