Brandon Family

Another early Brandon image

Well, I am presently working on the Brandon photos and was a bit impatient on getting a new post up. So, I thought I would post another early image that my wife and I have fallen in love with.

Brandon Family Teaser

Last week I went out and shot the Brandon family. It was a beautiful day especially considering the fact that it is November. I have been really excited to get into these pictures but we have had two sick kiddos all week. I have dug in and sorted and played with a few so I thought I would put up a teaser image. More to come soon!

A Walk With Ellie On A Lovely Saturday

It was incredibly beautiful yesterday so I took Ellie out for a walk/photowalk. I grabbed the camera and we set off. Not to far into the walk I had realized that her diaper leaked so we headed back home for a new outfit. Got redressed and set out again and this time enjoyed a lovely walk around our neighborhood. These are a few of the many shots I took.

p.s.
The shot of Ellie crying is not due to the fact that she was tired of the camera but rather that she had lost one of the berries that you see there in her hand.

Lord's Day Portraits

These are a couple shots I took from this past Lord's Day on my walk with Ellie. These walks have become a tradition for us and one I hope to keep for a long time (eventually working in Athanasius and however many more children God blesses us with). The first shot is of my daughter Eleanor. Now, she will sometimes ask me to take a picture of her but she only gives me a fraction of a second to do it. It is funny, sometimes frustrating, but also helpful. I say it is helpful because she is going to make me a faster photographer which will help me capture those important moments for our family and for those who I will shoot for. She will cause me to make the quick decisions quicker... no time to waste on setting white balance, ISO, framing etc. What a blessing!

This second shot here is Corey who we met on our walk down Commercial Street. He was out walking his dog which of course Ellie had to see. So, as Ellie was playing with the dog I asked him if I could grab a few shots and he was kind enough to let me.

*Both of these shots have a subtle texture applied to them. The textures were also taken out on the Lord's Day walk.
