How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

Summer Stroll

If you look closely at the third photo, you can see a butterfly to the right of Sara's hat . . . (click on picture to enlarge). I edited this using Picnik, though I'm not sure I like it as well as the original. Thoughts on the look?

Hands Fit to be Tying the Knot

The last night without a ring . . .


The proposal . . .





Lots of planning ahead . . .




Another happy couple awaits marriage . . .

"Ear . . . "

My daughter is working on pointing to body parts.

He's Out

Not the best photo, but I love the moment.

Quiet Playtime

Grandma

Taking portraits of people who hate cameras is difficult, but here's my attempt at being sneaky around my grandma while she plays with my daughter.

If only the background were better . . .

The Joy of Boys

I took this photo while in San Antonio of two young teens chasing each other around the Riverwalk. I think it captures their exuberance. Wish we could all always be this carefree.

Fire!

This is how it felt in our house today at a HUMID 94 degrees with NO AIR CONDITIONING! It's been out all summer, but we were finally willing to spring for it . . . $1600 for a new system, which is great, and we're sitting happy now. :)

Paparazzi Proposal

I was hired as a paparazzi photographer for a night, the end of which culminated in a proposal. It was a lot of fun and certainly tested my skills in shooting on the move. I felt strange but honored to be part of this moment:

With Children Come . . . Messes

Spaghetti, Lucky Charms, banana, apple sauce, and yogurt. What a meal, what a mess!

ISO 100; 1/60; f3.6

Happy 4th!

Shot at ISO 100, 1/3s, and f/3.2. I tried to get the kids to stand still, but with sparklers in their hands, that wasn't easy. Though the images are a bit blurry, I still like the effect.












And, the obligatory firework shot . . .

Contemplation

Yep, he's watching TV . . .

Natural light and a slow shutter speed. Love the light in his eyes.
