Christmas is about giving.

For me Christmas is about giving. The good Lord gave us his Son as a gift of eternal life. The least I can do is give to others. I have signed up with Kiva.org and slowly been giving to different people around the world. If you have not visited Kiva.org go ahead and do so. It will make you realize that a small amount of money can make a big difference. Here is my Kiva page.

Winter starts in November.....well in Michigan it does.

Well in Michigan we get used to getting snow starting mid November. This year we had early snow in November which melted. Well guess what, yep it snowed again. This time I ran out of my office to take a picture. Here is a wet and heavy snow with a few deer wandering through the front yard. This is not a photography shot but a quick photo of the snow, brrrrr.

Difficult Children? Movie Stars?

My boys, Matthew & Sam, were looking for some creative work from their father. They like to make faces at the camera so after looking at the photos that were taken yesterday I did a quick movie poster for them. They both sometimes think they are movie stars, they are on YouTube you know! Well here is a quick picture from our little photo shoot with "the boys".

Embarrased Pastor/Minister?

Many times as photographers we focus in tight on the couples "first kiss" and miss out on what happens around them. Here I was able to catch the pastor's reaction as he was a little embarrassed during a pretty long kiss.

Trash the Dress...... ok not so trashed.

I am starting to get a lot of interest in "Trash the Dress" photo shoots. For those of you that don't know, this is where the bride will take her dress out for a photo shoot instead of hiding it away in a box. Most are not afraid of "trashing" the dress on the photo shoot. I will post a few of my trash the dress photo shoots. Here is one of Ferann that I did recently. Ferann was married a few years ago and told me that she never had good wedding photos and wanted to use the dress to get some good photo results. Here are a few samples of Ferann at an old train depot.

Photos. My first blog.......

Hello! This is my first blog and it will be all about my photograpy work.  I am a freelance photographer who focuses on wedding work. I have expereince doing other types of photography and from time to time might post a few pics. I would like to say that I will be posting often and frequently..........but that is not going to be the case. Let's see if we can at least begin the process.

I am only posting samples of my work. Much of the work that I post will not necessarily be the best work but some work that I think is interesting.

If you are in need of photography work for your wedding or event.......well drop me a note or give me a call.

Thanks!
