King Boys

Reluctant to have photos taken, these boys cooperated anyway. Melanie, their mom, did an awesome job of being enthusiastic, bringing props and encouraging them to cooperate! Hopefully Aaron, Daniel, and Jeremiah will look forward to being photographed in the future. ;)

Nathan Grant

This cute little guy is so blessed to have a great family to be a part of! He is well loved, although he probably wasn't feeling the love when his Mom and I were attempting to put him in impossible-for-baby positions-all for the sake of pictures. :) Thanks for being my first attempt at photographing babies at this age!

B&Z.

Congrats to two of our good friends, Ben & Zahra on their engagement! They've been engaged for a while, but we had the privilege of doing their engagement shoot a few weeks back. Thanks for being great!

Righteous!!! :).

So, Quiksilver Pro is here in New York out in Long Beach for the first ever professional surfing event in New York. I pretty much decided that if there was going to be a free pro surfing event, I was going to be there at least one day, so I headed out this afternoon. If you've never been to a surfing event, I'd definitely recommend it. Here's a few of my shots from the day:

Kelly Slater (10x world champion) was who I really wanted to see, and he definitely didn't disappoint.

Also saw some action from Julian Wilson:

and Fred Patacchia:

Also in the heats I saw today were Heitor Alves, Joel Parkinson, and Jeremy Flores. Apparently they didn't make the cut for my blog, but they threw down some awesome stuff as well.

It was definitely an awesome event and something I don't regret!!

African, er Indiana, Adventures

This summer has held many awesome, fun adventures. Version #1: We spent a few days in Indiana with my family and while there went to a zoo. Version #2: We briefly visited Africa where Chris was delighted to find a Land Rover to drive around. Be careful which version you believe...

Who said airport food was nasty?

If only Version #2 was correct! Although Indiana didn't prove to be that tame either what with riding in a cop car and all. You can ask us for the scoop!

VBS - "Broken but not..."

Rejected. Defeated. Eaten. Yes, I said eaten. Daniel and the Lion's Den anyone? July means one thing for Chris and I. VBS! The committee chose daily themes around the main theme of being broken. We are all broken people but with God, that is not the end of the story. He is always with us and for us, redeeming our brokenness.

I've found it can be a bit difficult to take pictures at VBS because of the constant motion of people and the amount of commotion! It is our responsibility to document this event in photos for the rest of the staff but we are also busy with making sure things run smoothly. While always fun to photograph, it can result in blurry and not-so-great photos. Nonetheless, here are some that maybe you can "aww" over. :)

Logo Design

We had the opportunity to design the logo for our church's Vacation Bible School. The committee chose one but we put our own spin on it by changing some things and adding interest to it. So the original idea isn't ours but we had fun creating an "improved" version and even going a bit beyond that. :) If anyone needs a little design work... The theme was "Broken but not..." thus the "broken" bear:

"I am man."

Too cool.

Life is hard. Be a little crazy. Have fun. Take your pick at a caption for this one!
