Spring Waterfall Workshop






We took a ride through three counties and found six waterfalls. We shot five of the six because the Medina waterfalls was too over grown with brush and trees to get a solid view of it. Here are some shots from our tour starting at the top, Royalton falls, Holley falls, Clarendon falls, Indian falls, Akron falls. Double click images to enlarge.

The trilliums are starting to bloom on Goat Island. An excellent subject for spring flower pictures. Here are a couple shots from today. Double click images to enlarge.

Spring is here...


Spring is my favorite season. After a cold gray winter it is so refreshing to get outside. The trees are budding out and the birds are chirping. The flowers add a welcome color that has been dorment for 6 months. I love to take my camera into our gardens and capture nature's colors. Here is a quick snap from this morning.

Family Portraits


Easter Sunday we had the extreme pleasure to photograph the Owen's family outside their home. A wonderful family to work with and we got plenty of images for them to choose from. The day was perfect for pictures and as a nice touch everyone color co ordinated to make a pleasing portrait; They will cherish these images for years to come. Every family should think about having a family portrait done every 3-5 years for a record of their family and how it changes over the years. Our location rates make it very affordable.

There is an authentic Himalayan tea house built in the 1800's and reconstructed inside the Bird Kingdom. The walls are ornately hand carved in wood. This picture shows one of the walls. Click on image to enlarge to see all the detail.

Fun Photos







We took a quick trip over the border and went to The Bird Kingdom for some fun pictures. They now have reptiles and tropical birds. Some are in cages and some fly free and that makes it a great place to practice and take fun shots of exotic birds in their own environment. A great place to enjoy.
