I am the world’s best photographer

I took some photo sessions last week, and if I say so myself, they turned out pretty well. And I thought to myself, “I am the world’s best photographer.” Then I bought some new Photoshop actions and started playing around, and the pictures got even better. And I thought to myself, “I totally ROCK as [...]


Side by side

I was taking pictures for a friend in the park the other evening and the girls went with me, to serve oh-so-willingly as helpers. OK, that’s a big fat lie.  I paid each of them $3 to help me schlep my cameras and bags and stepstools and reflectors around the park …. THEN they made me [...]


Ten years later ….

… and this still makes me giggle. Kendrie, age 8′ish months, with the world’s most mutant Easter Bunny, in the new “Awkward Family Photos” book, page 157, under the section labeled “Most Awkward Holiday Mascot.” Ha!!  The heck with leukemia, she’ll need therapy for THAT RABBIT! Book now available online, Amazon, and of course, your [...]


I expect Sports Illustrated to call any day now …

Because really, not just anyone can take photos as good as this: Honestly, including someone’s HEAD in the photo is highly over rated.  Why should I settle, and be like everyone else?  I think cutting off the heads could be my own unique watermark. And why worry yourself over something as silly as FOCUS?  Don’t [...]


Of course you will

I have little doubt that given my unbelievable luck (or total and complete LACK thereof) regarding computers and technology, you guys must be thinking at this point that I am just making this shit up.  No one could possibly be as completely hopeless and inadequate as I am when it comes to things breaking or [...]


I love this kid

Really, I do. He is goofy and happy and silly and fun.  I really love this kid.   I mean, with a face like this, who wouldn’t? Photos taken Thanksgiving, 2009


A sneak peek

Regarding our family photo shoot from earlier this week, I received the cd of images from Jim, our photographer this evening.  After carefully looking and checking all the images he took, I can honestly say ……. for the record, no-one on our Christmas card list will be receiving the traditional letter/photo combination this year.  Because [...]


The one where I whine about how disappointed I am and the rest of you tell me to get a life already

Last night was Kellen’s next-to-last game of the football season.  I won’t be able to attend their final game next week, so to ME, last night’s game was the last.  I place Kellen’s first season of football in the “positive experience” category because he’s learned a lot and had fun.  (Mainly.  When he’s not whining about having [...]


Third times a charm …

I knew when I went to bed last night I would title today’s post this …. and why. The first time we tried to get our family photos done this year, lousy weather blew in just a few hours before.  The second time, the weather was perfect but we forgot about daylight savings time and [...]


Hitchin’ my wagon ….

… to someone else’s blog.  Not that I’m biased or anything.  But you should probably go here.
