Wreaths

Today I photographed these homemade wreaths. They were all made from things their creator found around her house or at tag sales. I just liked the photo. The artist set them up before I got there on a fake fireplace but what I like the most is the wood paneling. It reminds me of trips to northern Michigan to my grandmother's cottage.

Little Sis+Kevin

It will be year ago January when Kevin popped the question to my little sis. They will be married in September. We spent the golden hour and then some making pictures tonight. After Kevin got warmed up I think they both had a blast.

Tractor

I went on a farm tour today.

Revenge

Although it doesn't hurt the goat sure put up a struggle during the goat tying completion I photographed today. This girl took a spill on the way off her horse but I sense a small bit of sweet satisfaction from the furry creature.

Her dad

I shot another wedding with Jackie yesterday. Here's my favorite. The smile on his face reminds me of the way my dad looked when I got married.

The dark

A last minute change sent me to Dryden tonight to photograph a Class D gridiron game. I can count on one hand how many times a pass was thrown in the first half but the sun did set nice over the school. Then it got dark, real dark.

Swim practice

I took Keith's advice and against Mark's wishes took one of the big strobes to swim practice this afternoon. The light was awesome and oh so much easier to use. Here's a couple I made for myself. Did I mention shooting swimming equals wet shoes?

Volleyball

I shot my first volleyball game of this season tonight. I dont know what it is about this sport but I find it very hard to photograph. I can never get myself into the zone like this girl from Armada.
