Putki Pu

You may remember me mentioning a designer friend of mine a few months back, Sara Gideon. She has just started to take orders for her ultra adorable children's clothing line called Putki Pu!! Sara put together for me, in 3 days no less, these adorable bloomers for my photo shoot! They are soooooo adorable I had to photograph them on Alyssa, on a tree, on a fence, on a twig...... love them!!!!!

Who is this beauty under these bloomers you ask? Well, thats Alyssa... more of her to come!

Rain

It Monday and its raining again! Yes, that exclamation point was in happiness. I am one of the few that love rainy days, multiple rainy days. Whether it be the coziness I feel, the sound of rain on the pavement and on the trees, the color it brings out or just the fact that when its raining I feel relaxed. Here are a couple of photos I took in the rain last night of our flowering trees.

New Website Look

I've spent the last hour trying to make my website look a little more professional. So...if you have a minute, take a peek and let me know what you think. I've also removed that god awful music, that came with the package (just fyi) and decided to have nothing play until I can figure out how to actually download music from the Internet. I'm sure it will only be another 6 months or so.
So, what to do in the meantime??? Well, try this...Go to youtube.com and put in "What a day for a daydream", by Paolo Nutini, (make sure its Paolo), this young, melt my heart away, Scottish guy who sounds like a little old man singing. Then quickly go to my website in another window and play that song while my website is rolling. That's what will happening here in the near future, I hope!

Nicholas Part 2

Just had to share some in color...Click on the photo and it will enlarge the photo and you can see what I'm talking about...great eyes, dang!

Nicholas, Part 1

When I got the email from Sue about photographing Nicholas and their family I was psyched! Nicholas is my sons age and we've been in playgroup together on and off for the last couple years. So I knew this little guy was as handsome as can be. He's known for his beautiful eyes, which did not disappoint, but this little guys smile is so big and beautiful that it gave his eyes a run for the money.
Here are a few in blk and white!

Great time at the old Converse homestead last night. I had rented studio lights for a corporate shoot the following day and thought I would put them to use. So I invited the families to come over and partake in a "formal" photoshoot. Something that I would normally not be interested in.
The plan was set. Everyone was to wear crisp white t-shirts to contrast the bright blue backdrop that I had just purchased, due to the corporate shoot. Anyway, everyone was excited, the women drank wine, the men drank beer and the kids ate pizza.
And I must say the families that I invited, The Walker gang and the other Converse gang did rather well. As for my gang, well, lets just say that we will be doing another shoot soon. Take a look!
This little guys was done before it even started. This is Tony and his twin brother Bill. My mother in law is going to LOHUV me!

Tony and Aaron. Awww

Gardy, being his cool self. Although refusing to follow the simple dress code! Adorable men.

Great looking Fam!

Now, these guys really had it going on. Every photo looked like they were a family just enjoying themselves with no lights, no backdrop and nobody watching. Lets all learn from them. Ignore the photographer!

My favorite shot of the evening. I can just taste that Marlboro Light!!! The good old days.... (just kidding)(kind of)..

All about the boys

Thought I'd put a few out there of my guys. People have asked how come there aren't more photos of my kids? Well, here are a few of my beauties...

Gardy at his baseball game.
My attempt at sun flare and of course, Aaron
