Anyone Else Need a Vacation?
June 23, 2010
How are you, dear readers? 
I’m working hard through the midst of the busy wedding season. While I genuinely love just about every minute of it, I could seriously use some time off. Then again, couldn’t we all? 
Coming soon are a three recent weddings and my thoughts on portraiture … and by the time I put those up, there will be more in the works! 
Thanks for checking, and come back in a few!
Because every post is better with a picture, here’s a recent shot from Kaylee and Eli’s beautiful Jeffrey Mansion wedding:

A Fun, 5-Minute Portrait Session
June 9, 2010
When you see this picture, what iconic comic strip comes to mind?
Anything yet?
While I most love capturing real moments and unscripted joy, I still have fun with creative portraiture. For some reason, I got it in my head (maybe about four months ago now) that our good friends’ son, Luca, looked kinda like Charlie Brown. And I don’t mean that in any derogatory way, because Luca is already one of the cutest, happiest kids I’ve ever known! But a round head is a round head 
and I can say that because I have a big biscuit myself. I tell all this to his parents, Anthony and Linda – who like the idea too – so I went to Amazon.com and ordered the shirt.
Of course at this age, he is growing up so fast. So I don’t know how much he still looks like Chuck (or for that matter, if he ever really did.) But the shirt still fit him and we were wrapping up a low-key, fun Friday night barbecue at their place. Luca had just woken up from a late afternoon nap, so we weren’t sure he would be in the mood, but it didn’t take much prompting for him to unleash the cute on us all.

The Morning Fog
June 9, 2010
There is something about a morning fog that ignites my imagination; conjuring up images of a classic mystery novel setting. Or maybe it’s just the cool, early spring air … or the mud puddle I just stepped in while composing a shot. Maybe it’s the way that it makes a dirty, otherwise uninspiring river look … mystical.
Okay, so I’ll never ghostwrite for Charles Dickens, but I snapped these pictures months ago and just found a few while cleaning out my hard drive …
This bird was perched literally 50 feet away from me, but I was in the midst of fiddling with my settings and he flew off before I could get a beautiful close up. D’oh!
