Cousins – It’s a Tradition

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Every year, just before the Fourth of July, we get our kids and our nephews together to take a pictures of them all for the grandparents.  It’s tradition.  You don’t mess with that, right?

The whole group is six kids all under eight years old – ranging from two to eight for realz (my wife just told me I was using “actually” too much).   How hard is it to get eight kids to look at you?

Not Interested

Actually (doh!), it’s not as bad as that looks. I was testing out the lighting and told them to relax.

Here is what’s cool about photographer’s kids. I just put mine on the log and got it one shot.

Attitude

For me, the best shots came at the end of the session. I told them to just play. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – nothing beats taking a picture of a child just being a child.

What are you looking at?

Toes and Rocks

And, ACTUALLY, that’s all I have to say in the post.

Sports Portraits

Friday, June 4th, 2010

I sponsor my kid’s teams for the city leagues and every year I get asked why I’m not the guy taking the pictures.  There are a couple of reasons why I’m not the guy, but if I was the guy, this is what I’d be doing.

All Star - Baseball

All Star - Softball

LoC Soccer!

Defense!

Last year I started sponsoring some of the city sports teams. That’s my boy wearing #7 and sporting LoC on his shirt. This year, I’ve got one soccer team, a softball team, and a baseball team. It’s a great way to help out the city leagues and my kids think it’s pretty cool to be on Dad’s team!

Offense!

I don’t get to shoot the games much since I also coach soccer and baseball. Softball I’m in the clear so there may be a whole lot of pictures from my daughter’s games showing up!

Michelle + Kevin

Marriage Lesson

Life really is incredible when you think about it. Michelle and Kevin met back in grade school at the Catholic church they ended up getting married in. They both did their own thing for a long time but when people are meant to be together they also seem to find each other again.

This was really a great wedding to shoot, Michelle and Kevin were a great couple and didn’t mind me dragging them all over the place for shots after their ceremony. Patience is incredible too. ;)

St. Mary Magdalene is the church I go to with my family as well. I’ve been there (just about) every Sunday. I know a lot about it, but I never really looked at it much through the lens. Michelle and Kevin wanted to capture the church and the grounds around it because they had so many memories there.

Cheers to the Newlyweds

I wish them both all the best as they head off into their future together!

On Their Way

Communion

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

My son, Carter, made his first Communion and Confirmation today.   I put on my photographer hat for a few shots, but then but all the gear away and was a good parent and sat quietly in my pew for the whole mass. ;)

Confirmation

The shot above was a happy accident. Pap-pap just happened to take a seat while I was setting up the lighting and firing off a test shot. The shot below is what I had planned to capture.

Rosary
