How do you get holy water?

Last Saturday I headed over to the park with Melissa, Jamie, Jess, and Beth. We were a little afraid that the lighting wouldn't be in our favor, but I think that these pictures turned out gorgeous!

Because of computer difficulties, I have less pictures edited than I would like. I wanted to post a few tonight and then post a few more in the next couple of days.

Today I purchased my very first SLR--a Nikon D50 with a 17-55mm lens. It's going to take a bit for me to be able to use it comfortably, but at least I won't feel silly carrying around my point and shoot (even if it takes excellent pictures).


Hope you girls enjoyed the preview!

Class of 2010: Rachael

Last Saturday Rachael, her mother, and I went to Spring Grove park. I was a little nervous because not only had I not been able to look over the park in order to get some ideas the night before because of a wedding at the park, I had gotten an awful flat tire that morning and my grandpa had to bring me. Even with a rocky start, once we started taking pictures everything went right. Here are a few of my favorites!

Hope you enjoyed your preview, Rachael. Have a great senior year!

An Evening with the Bakers

I couldn't have asked for a better first-time family portrait. Here are some of my favorites:

Charlie is a trooper! He was sick off and on all weekend and even got sick while we were taking pictures, but look how great that smile is. Thanks, buddy.

Hope you enjoyed your preview--thanks for letting me take your pictures.

The Beautiful Miss Sarah

What a dream to photograph! Sarah and I had a blast running through the park; that is, until the mosquitos came out. Twenty mostquito bites and one chocolate covered cherry blizzard later, I did the finishing touches and I'm so proud of how these turned out. Thanks for the photoshoot, Sarah!

Hello

I'm going to use this blog to post pictures I've taken for people, as a preview, or pictures that I've taken just for the fun of it.

"A man should hear a little music, read a little   
poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his   
life, in order that worldly cares may not         
obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God   
has implanted in the human soul.   "               

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
