Seeing the Light
Today I came across a great blog post by an amazing humanitarian photographer David deChemin. A few months back David fell 10 meters onto concrete, he`s lucky to survive this tragic fall though having multiple fractures he lost his ability to walk. Through it all David has not lost his winning spirit and optimism.
What I loved about David’s blog post was a fantastic quote he wrote while in rehab. . . [“My Goals Today…” “Same as everyday: Conquer the world.”] He also goes on to say how we tend to dream big and forget to take the daily steps to get where we want to be.
This really hit home for me, for one I realized how much I’ve gotten caught up in everyday life. Feeling as though I had far too much on my plate, though I hadn’t stopped to recognize the ways in which I`ve conquered the world. Once I started to do that I felt I had even more energy to move onto another project, my photography! With that said I’m excited to share with you my summer fun photos.
My cheeky monkey!
The catch light in this pic gives more depth to Jilly's dark brown eyes.
Daddy and Liam having fun.
Okay, I know his hats not on right but I absolutely love the colors in this shot.
MONKEY!
RAFFIE!
I love this pic of daddy and Liam, such fun! :)
My version of Rembrandt lighting using ambient light. (notice the triangle of light on Liam's left cheek)

Quinn's 1st Birthday!
Yay! It's my birthday today!
Everyone was happy to see Quinn.
Liam was getting some play time on the silly snail.
Hanging out with mommy.
It was such a sunny day, thank goodness for Quinn's new sun glasses.
Mmmm, Ice cream cake!
Quinn thanks his mommy and daddy for such a perfect day! ;)

Easter Dinner, Yum!
Cooked to perfection!
The lamb was amazing, but what you really have to try are the Brussels Sprouts. I never thought I would say this, but I think they are my new favorite vegetable.
If your interested to see more of what my bro is up to check out his site at: http://sgriffithscatering.com/menu.shtml. Who knows maybe he can help you out with your event! ;)

ROBINIKKI - Specialty Bike Shoot
The story behind the name is that the creator of these bikes has two daughters, you guessed it, named Robin and Nikki.
I used an off camera flash for these pics and really like how it created a nice sheen look to them.
One thing that remains the same are their frames, which are made of titanium.
I like the coloring of this shot, not sure what the spokes are made of but if I had to guess I'd say wood.
One thing we focused on were the welds and how smooth and clean they appear.

Reigniting the flame
With that being said, here are a few photos from 2010 I dug up, enjoy!
How could anyone say no to this cute little guy? He so knows how to play up his cuteness.
Fun in the sun with family friends. I absolutely love how the sun highlights her hair, and creates almost a halo effect. She was running down a really steep hill and concentrating on not falling, its so funny how some children stick out their tongues while concentrating. Ha ha love it!
This photo was taken during a OCF course instructed by Kurtis Kristianson. What an amazingly fun experience! I learned a great deal about lighting that day. Can't wait to try out that technique again. . .once I get lighting equipment. ;)
Just a random Halloween photo of a mini pumpkin, I think it's the colors that really draw me to this.
Cutie little Josephine on her 6 month birthday, she was doing so well with sitting up and standing on her own!
Such a happy little girl! ;)
