OCF (Off-Camera Flash) Strobist Photos…

So I went to a recent photography class to learn a little more about OCF. A local photog group holds seminars, classes….it’s just a lot of fun connecting with local photographers of all levels. For this class, they had 3 models to assist. One was a daughter of a photographer friend, who was a natural in front of the camera. The other one is a 19 yr old who is absolutely stunning! Couldn’t believe she was new at modeling because she was very easy to work with and you can tell the camera loves her 😉 And lastly, was Bill. I couldn’t even tell you how much we all loved Bill. He was fabulous to work with, very funny…and I loved hearing his stories that he created while we photographed to “create” the mood.

And yes…the rum in the photos is real and he was drinking. HAHAHA He was too funny….

Here are a BUNCH of my faves from the class…

Cathy & Brian's Wedding Day…

On October 24, 2009…I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Cathy & Brian’s wedding. Cathy and Brian are such WONDERFUL people and to be able to photograph one of their most important days of their life, was phenomenal! Cathy looked positively breath-taking and seeing these two individuals together, you could clearly sense the love that surrounded them. They had an amazing wedding party, lots of family and friends…you certainly couldn’t ask for a better day. They didn’t let the rain dampen their spirits and we were even lucky enough to take the formals outside. Gotta love a couple that doesn’t mind getting just slightly damp for gorgeous photos! 😉

Cathy & Brian, thank you so much for letting me be a part of your day…capturing all the love and fun you had. We had an absolute blast and couldn’t have asked for a better day.

This is my first time posting a video so I’m praying that it works! *Keeping fingers crossed* 😀

Trick Or Treat!!!

The other day, we got our boys dressed up in their Halloween costumes and met our friends Christina, Justin and their daughter Cora at their local church’s “Trunk or Treat”. Before that though, we were at my in-law’s so I thought I would take some photos of the boys in their costumes. Justin is a Red Ninja and Zack, is of course, Wolverine. 😉

Happy Birthday to my Lil' Man…

This is a lil’ tradition that I do each year for each son so we can look back and see what they love to do:

On this day, 3 years ago, our youngest son, Zachary John was born. I remember Justin saying how we were going to the hospital to “get a baby” and he was just the proudest big brother I have ever seen. I just can’t believe how quickly the time has gone by and how big he is now.

Everyone laughs because they say he is a “Mini Me” of myself and I have to agree. He looks like me and definitely has my stubborness attitude. I have yet to figure out if that’s a good thing or bad thing. haha 😉

He is such a sweetheart and loves to tease you every chance he gets. He’s an animal lover especially of dogs and kitties, he’s still riding this scoot & ride radio flyer bike (although sad to say he’s outgrown it). But don’t tell him that as he’ll get mad and show you otherwise that he CAN ride it. lol

He’ll spend all day outside, jumping in puddles, digging in dirt and playing every sport you can think of and surprisingly, he’s great at them! I mean, he can REALLY hit the ball and play soccer well. Crazy….
He loves to play with bugs and then “put back home” so the bug can go back to his family.

Zack’s obsessed with superheros and loves every single one. He’ll pretend UR a “bad buy” (bad guy) and will take you to jail too. haha He cracks me up.

Anyways, Zachary, thank you for being such a sweetheart, my lil’ man. Mommy, Daddy and Justin love you! Happy 3rd Birthday!

Just 2 days old:

Fall Session with Our Boys & A Friend…

Yesterday, I decided to take our boys to a place in Foster to take some pics of them near a bridge. Well, that didn’t go as planned because most of you, my photographer friends, know what it’s like to take photos of your OWN kids. 😛 I think I got a couple of decent ones there but after that we went to Christina’s friends house to take some pics outside with them and her daughter, Cora, too. They had a blast exploring the yard, woods and playing with their dogs!

Here are a few of my faves:
