Adam & Sarah – Engagement


This week in review – Nov 3-Nov 9, 2008

- Potty training is so much fun.  We’ve had a few mishaps but the one this week was a first.  When we got home from work our little angel decided that she wanted to be a “big girl” and took off her diaper.  No problem, we’re potty training.  So we had our dinner and then she went to play.  After my wife and I finished our pizza we went to play with the kids and noticed a slight aroma.  Uh-oh, poop.  Well, it wasn’t the baby so that only left one culprit.  After a quick check, we knew it was going to be messy.  So we took off her shoes (oops, forgot to take them off when we got home!) and our rolled our first nugget down her pant leg and onto the floor.  So we quickly carried her into the bathroom and put her in the shower.  Well….let’s just finish by saying the poop trail started at the top and went down both sides.  Yuck.

- Had dinner with the Schultz’s on Saturday night.  Good times.  Watched some Russell Peters.

- Can’t say enough about Dexter again.

- Had a great engagement shoot with Mark & Lisa.


Adam, Stefi & Kari

Spent the day with a wonderful family.  These siblings wanted to have a nice family picture to give to their parents for Christmas.  We ended up going way past a portrait and spent a few hours together having fun.

Mark & Lisa – an engagement

We had a beautiful day together.  We drove to Webster Falls, located at Spencer Gorge in Hamilton.  We couldn’t have asked for a better day.  The sun was out and keeping us warm, but not compared to the warmth of Lisa’s smiles.  These guys were a little nervous at first, but it didn’t take long to break the ice and get some great shots.  Here’s the first of many more to come:

Community vehicular reclamation project!

While on break from shooting Dan McLean’s cd release party, I stumbled upon this great community project.  I ended up doing a little Lomo work on the second shot, just something I wanted to try in photoshop.

When in the US…do not order a Caesar when they are asking you for your drink order.  They will give you a blank stare and wonder “why is he ordering a salad?!?!”.

Even Hickory, NC has a Hooters.

“You know why!” – What happens in Vegas.  You must watch the credits!

Happy Thanksgiving

Kids_write_the_cutest_things Kids are awesome.  Their grammar when they are 6 is even better.  My niece wrote a beautiful card to her 90 year old great grandmother.  She sounded out what she wanted to write.  This is what she wrote:
