season’s end

Tonight was our end-of-season party for SYC basketball to celebrate the highlights, which for me was:

Catherine, Anthony & Olivia

Here’s my workflow for kids: first get the photos Mom wants; then get the orthodox photos for grandparents; then get the unorthodox photos for my portfolio; then get the best funny-face photo for the kids.

This is my second Christmas photographing Catherine, Anthony and Olivia, and they remembered to come prepared with their best funny faces — but not before they gave me some smashing portfolio images. (And hopefully some for Mom and Grandmas, too!)

Allyson & Samantha

Wesley & Wyatt

Josh & Mason

I asked these two during the shoot if they are friends and they answered, “No — we’re brothers!”

remember summer?

I spent most of my free time last summer reading Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged.” I took it everywhere I went, told anyone who would listen to read it and photographed it in various stages of my life. We spent a good deal of August at the beach, and I’m just getting around to editing some of those images on this cold, late-fall, East Coast night. It’s making me especially wistful for my days in Tucson. Seems like just yesterday that children climbed trees, scooped up jellies from the water, built sand volcanoes, ate sand and played outside.

These are from Solomons Island with the Ward family over Labor Day…

The Chapmans hold a very special place in the heart of my photo business; this is the fourth year I’ve photographed them for Christmas — I know, Christmas already! We squeezed in some football fun just to keep our grip on fall for a little bit longer.
