Congratulations

Congratulations go out to Isaac & Caitlin on their engagement. They are a wonderful young couple. Both attend Purdue University and both are finishing up their masters degrees this year. They plan an October wedding in the Pittsburg area. We will be looking forward to working with them again soon. Here are a couple of our favorites from their engagement session taken this past weekend. You can view all their images at our main site in the client viewing gallery.

Pittsburgh at Dusk

We had some work to do in the Pittsburgh area this weekend but we did manage to take a break and make it up Mt. Washington to view the city lights at sun down. What a great view from up there. I snapped a few images for our blog. click on images to enlarge.

Race Day

May 1, opening day at Fort Erie Race Track. We had a great time shooting the ponies yesterday. The weather was fine. The US and Canadian nation anthem was sung by actor Jim Carrey's sister. They had $1 menu and live country music. Here are a few pics from the day. Click to enlarge.

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.

Goat Island Shoot

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.

Swallow Hollow

We took a day trip to Alabama Swaps and walked the board walks at Swallow Hollow. It was such a beautiful day. The temperatures got up there but after a long winter it was welcomed. We didn't see much wildlife but the scenery was good. Here are a few clicks from todays trip.

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.
