night

Some of my cousins and siblings were awesome and let me drag them out into the cold when we were all at my grandma's in march. We had alot of fun. I love night photography because i love experimenting, and it always is. Only problem is experimentation shouldn't be rushed, and when you're finger tips are freezing and you know your subjects are cold, its hard not to be. I didn't get as much as i could have if we were working on a summer night instead of a crazy march in ohio night, but i got a few shots i'm pleased with, and we had a ton of fun. I'm looking forward to shooting more at night with the weather getting nice.





cold. yes.





the end.

Simendinger children

loved hanging out with these guys. we were short on light because it was the day of the time change and when i was scheduling their session i didn't remember that sunset was going to be an hour earlier. but the kids were really cooperative and fun. it worked out great.






i think they were playing blob tag...

the Folcks

The Folck children are so adorable. beyond adorable. Their whole family is beautiful and i loved having them hang out in front of my camera for awhile the other day.




oh brothers.





the end.

the Kempers

i don't think i have the words to explain what this family of 8 means to me. yes 8. baby is coming 2009!
i lived with them in Virginia when i was there working full time with Stand True ministries afew years ago. Bryan is the founder and director of Stand True. They moved headquarters to Ohio not too long after i moved back, so i still get to see them, not as much as i'd like, but its better than states away. i love all of these guys. i have all kinds of pictures of them from living with them, traveling with them, and just hanging out... here are afew from their session for their Christmas this year.


this one didn't work that great because the sun was working against us, i wish i'd brought something to block it. i still think its cute though.


i got to photograph this little dude when he was just 2 minutes old. it was such a privilege.



when we got back to the house, the neighbors had their rabbit out...
