Smith Family

This is the Smith Family. (They're pretty awesome in my book)

So this was supposed to be a "boys only" photo shoot, but Hannah here was all dressed up for the occasion. So she got a quick cameo.

My View of Nature

I'm not big on nature-like pictures. I tend to prefer my subjects to be of the warm-blooded type. But occasionally I will be inspired by something that I see and take a picture of it.

I think I need to push myself to do this more. Because while there were a lot of duds in my picture folders from me trying to get nature shots, there are a few that I like.

So there is hope after all.

(edit: I've recently realized that this picture was taken by my 10 year old, Matthew, last year. This isn't the first time I've been impressed with his photography.)

Melissa Casto

Melissa wanted a darker photo-shoot. So we went to the local graveyard and sought out the really old, weather worn gravestones.

I had never done a darker photo-shoot so this was a good opportunity to flex my creative muscles. We had a lot of fun and she was very pleased with the outcome.
