100th Blog Posting

I just noticed that this is my 100th blog entry. How exciting!

I was going to do a regular post of my son when I noticed I had 99 entries. I am still going to blog my son's photos. My daughter has been blogged numerous times; it is Tyler's turn finally!

I shot these at the end of April and never posted any. Must have gotten busy. We took these because his grandma (my mother-in-law) needed current photos of the grandkids to take on her trip to Okinawa to visit our families there. We did this shoot in under 30 minutes, because that is all an 8 year old will give his mom! Tyler gave me a ton of expressions (especially silly ones!) World, here is Tyler!

Jess

This is a senior shoot I did in mid May. I just received her order for prints, and realized I had never blogged it. My favorite is the black and white of her doing her artwork and looking up at me (her name and the year are in red on that one.)

Pre and Post Stork

This is one of my favorite wedding couples from a few years ago. In mid April, I photographed their maternity portraits. And about a week ago, I photographed their newborn daughter. She was a challenge because all she wanted to do while I was there was eat, and then eat some more! But we managed to get a few cute baby shots in between feedings. This will be neat to see the before and after!

Little Miss Elizabeth

Back in March, I did a maternity shoot of Sarah and Eric (one of my past bride and grooms). So I have photographed them a few times now. But this time we included one month old Elizabeth. She was the perfect model baby, awake part of the time for portraits and asleep part of the time for the artsy shots. We had tried to do newborn photos, but our schedules both kept getting in the way. But one month old is still new and beautiful and miraculous. She just had grown like a weed in that first month!

John, Class of 2010

John is a high school senior who just graduated from Moon Valley High School. He is a football player that is in to tattoos. At first he seemed shy to me, but by the end of the shoot, he had opened up and we were comfortable together. This was a total last minute shoot, but it was one of my favorite of the season-- we had a great time!
