‘Families’

Nathan’s 365 project (ok, daddy’s actually)

July 2, 2010

There’s a crazy challenge some photographers inflict upon themselves called “365″. It’s a picture a day of anything for one year and can be of any subject or theme. It can be random life, like my friend Paul’s 365, or it can be quite specific and collaborative like this one on clouds.  I’ve long resisted doing this simply because it takes time and lugging out the camera gear every day seems like such a chore.  But a funny thing happened to me last week that has given me great motivation to do a 365. We had a baby.

I won’t fill up the blog here with a picture a day, but rather upload a collage every week or so. I hope to put up tips and behind the scenes info for folks to try out with their cameras at home. I’ll occasionally put away my expensive gear and demonstrate how to take pro photos with a $100 point and shoot. Check back and leave a comment on what you think!

Our first maternity shoot

March 29, 2010

In the past few days, Hazel has entered the 3rd trimester. Now we haven’t actually done many photos of her thus far, so it was time to start catching up a bit. I took more than 100 photos but I’ll edit down to just a few for this blog entry. Oh, and a few of me as well. My wife is proving herself to be a worth photographer but of course she had a professional model to work with here. ;-)

Peter and Elizabeth’s photoshoot

February 19, 2008

Friends Peter and Cheryl have two beautiful children, whom they let me photograph on a recent January afternoon. Just near there house is a grass hill and a pretty ridge as a back drop — a perfect place to shoot. Thanks Thomas and Elizabeth for the fun time!
