My youngest brother braved an airline flight, through rum and tranquilizers, to come home for a few days and go to one of his best friends wedding reception in town here. Being away from him has been tough, but with my hectic life, ,makes the distance bearable at times. BUT, with him home with his mate, Mere; well saying bye to them is getting harder and harder! Jeez, will we ever live close enough to drive in a day to see eachother??? One will never know, but at their visit I had the pleasure of taking their picture together....one thing for me to truely hold on to when they are so far. This, and many other times, solidify my rationalization to become a photographer as my profession. To take images of loved ones, that will forever be looked at, so that their faces never fade from my memory, is why taking photographs mean so much to me!!! I Love You Erik and Mere!!!

LITERALLY!!! My neighbor is a sweet senior and she is also one of my reps for this year at her school. Lovely, talented, totally comfortable in front of my camera...and brains ta boot!! Watch out world, she is right around the corner to take over!! We had a blast taking these....actually I didn't want to stop??? Soooo many ideas, only so much sun light in a day. After all the pics taken they were kind enough (her and her mom) to take me to one of my fav spots for a bite to eat. I couldn't end an evening better, well at least I am ending it now at 1:45am after I post just a smiget of my favs!!! Here you go J.

This young lady is just that...young, beautiful...full of fun, life, and just being a teenager. Those years are years me and her mom have lived only 20 years ago....together!! Time travels, at the speed of light! Here she was, in my eye piece of my camera looking just spectacular. Not sure what to do at first....but at the end of the session she was truely acting like a model veteran! Sorry S. that this is a bit late....I am having WAY too hard of a time choosing from the amount of good pics to post. This is my largest picture post so far. I hope you enjoy....and share this site for all to see just how stunning you look!!

I was blessed to shoot this lovely little peach!!! 9 months old is so cute, sometimes they are a bit apprehensive because they are becoming increasingly aware of their surroundings and at times it is a bit frightning. This little girl was never frightened, maybe a bit curious about the wacky photographer. Look closely at the last shot.......even her parents are a bit WACKY!!!

I can't believe my first born will be a decade old!!! This is the invite that I am sending out....soon!!!

Here are a few pics from our mini vacation to Kelleys Island...that turned to a micro-vaction of 2 days and one night, due to the intense and gruelling heat wave. Now we are off to the races...literally!!! The Brickyard Races at Indianapolis. See you later!!!
