No, I have not fallen off the side of the planet. Just been very busy with lots of little side projects during this cold winter month. I’ve been to a photography conference in Nashville, getting lots of little business things in place for 2010, and have been working on wedding albums. All fun, but as you know, photographers love to be shooting. So I had to get away from the computer for a day and pulled out the camera and then coax two unwilling subjects to be my models for the day. It has been a while since I’ve done a real shoot with my sons, Ryan and Cooper. They usually are good for a little bit, but get over it very quickly. Guess that is what I get for having a camera in their face since birth. We played outside for a while and when it got too cold, we retreated inside and played with some different lighting setups. As long as I let them make some funny faces, they usually cooperate. A little edible bribery never hurts either. Having grown up an only child, I never experienced growing up with a sibling, so it has been a wonderful experience watching Ryan and Cooper’s sibling bond grow. Yes, there are times that they drive each other crazy, but over all, they get along so well and that is something I’m very proud of. That was something I was trying show in these portraits too, and I hope years from now, they will cherish too. Enjoy.










As always, Cooper has to do things his own way. He loves to show off how old he is now! Okay, enough of my boys. Things are getting ready to crank up again and I have a full week of shoots ahead (providing the weather does not get in the way), so the blog posts should be back on a regular schedule. See you soon!
