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!

Water of Life.

"...to him who is thirsty... I will give the water of life." Revelation 21:6.

My favorite: (this waterfall was over 90' tall!)

If anyone's interested, these photos were taken at Ricketts Glenn State Park in Pennsylvania. It's quite an amazing hike passing by 17+ waterfalls!!

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!!
