Sparklers

Fireworks got rained out tonight, so we did sparklers on the back porch. Set the camera for long shutter speeds, set it on the tripod and used the remote to snap these pics. Happy 4th of July!

Door to Nowhere

Dillon and I went out to scout some “urban” photo locations the other day. One of the best places we found was this door. Instead of posing him, I told him to just do what he wanted. This is what I got. While editing the picture I added some high contract with the curves filter [...]

Softbox Root Beer

Got my new small portable softbox today. It fits over my flash. Took a couple of shots to test it out. This was my favorite.

Summer Time

Summer is officially here. Dillon has his mohawk and is looking tough.

Waiting for Godot?

I was taking some random shots last night in the backyard. This is a pretty normal pose for Dusty most days. If he’s not chasing Rocky around, he’s sitting in front of the fence… like he’s waiting for something. Maybe it’s the ice cream man.

Truckin’

My wife makes cakes as a hobby. Last weekend she made an old Chevy truck for a groom’s cake. I think it looks awesome

The Catcher & His Mask

This year Dillon is playing catcher on his baseball team. It’s the first time he’s done it, and he seems to be really enjoying it. One of my favorite parts of watching him is when someone gets a hit. He usually rips off his catcher’s mask and tosses it as far as he can. Here [...]

Shae Marie

Mandy’s cousin and her husband welcomed their second little girl into the world today. We went by to see them tonight and I snapped a few pictures. These are my favorites

Medieval Fair

We went to the Medievel Fair in Norman today. Lots of people dress up for this, so it’s a good place to get pictures. It was kind of cold today, so there weren’t as many people as usual. But these are my favorite pictures. For a couple of them I put the background in black [...]

Audition

Today Erickson is auditioning for the Sooner Theatre’s summer production of Beauty and the Beast. For the audition, he has to have a head shot. I think “normal” headshots are boring. So we shot a “normal” head shot, then 3 other “active” shots that we included as smaller shots at the bottom. These are the [...]
