here are some cool photos of lily and her friend emma blowing bubbles outside of our house this afternoon. don’t you wish we could all go back to the time when the only thing that mattered to us was coming up with something fun to do? i would really have to say, “lily and emma are two of the very best at finding the fun.”
today i was asked to photograph this super cool birthday cake designed by shandi hogg from distinctive cakes. if any of you are in need of a custom designed cake for your next event, be sure to check out shandi and her wonderful creations, here.
i finally found some time to post-process some of the photos from our wedding back in august of 2007 at the grounds for sculpture. i decided to take a few shots and add a little texture to them, below are the results. all of these images were photographed by the amazing monika broz and david m.
lily had her first t-ball game this afternoon. she plays for the navy blue team, wears number 10 (her daddy’s favorite number) and is the only girl on her team. she did amazingly well and will most likely start hitting from a pitcher next game. i think lily might end up taking after her mom and have herself a nice little softball career in her future – just as long as she also gets into surfing, i’ll be cool with it.. (;
i thought it was cool that when the red team came in from the field and lined up to bat – number 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 all sat down in sequence of each other.
we had a few thank you notes to send out today and lily was excited to drop them into the mailbox around the corner from our house, so we grabbed her scooter and the whole family was off for a short but wonderful walk. this little break in my day gave me the perfect opportunity to hone my skills with the new lensbaby.
i got my new lensbaby lens today, and i can’t wait to start practicing with it to get some interesting shots. here are a few i took of the precious baby lena this afternoon.
i was working on the laptop in my bedroom tonight at around 8 o’clock when i noticed the sun was setting and casting this beautiful light into my room. lily, my ever so ready model jumped behind the shear blue curtains for a few snaps. five minutes later the light was gone.
some of you have been asking what i got for my birthday, well my wife, lauren did something great – i highly recommend it to anyone who doesn’t know exactly what to get their husband or wife. she went to bed and handed me her credit card and told me to go on a virtual shopping spree. and i have to say, it was so awesome. this is what i came out with:
Drobo - www.drobo.com - this is the greatest little external hard drive box for storing my ever growing collection of photographs and files. it is very important to back up my clients photo shoots, and finally i will be doing it correctly.
2 Western Digital Caviar 500 GB SATA Hard Drives – these boys go with the drobo.
Lensbaby 2.0 - www.lensbabies.com - i can’t wait to start using this new lens, it creates a selective focusing and blurs the edges for a very unique look. keep checking the blog for a peak at what this baby can do.
