    Hartlein Family

    Saturday, August 28th, 2010

    I had the wonderful opportunity to meet and capture an evening with the Hartlein’s in Troy’s Township Park. Here are some from our time together…

    Easter Session

    Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

    These beautiful kids all take after their dad (just not in the looks category)…Here are some Easter shots from the local park.

    Harris Family

    Monday, April 5th, 2010

    Last fall, I had the opportunity to hang out with the Harris family.  I played Little League and High School baseball with Donald, the father, and we all attend church together.  I am posting this session now because I had some major blog issues and I finally had the time to fix them.

    Wilson Family

    Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

    Last Sunday, I had the opportunity to hang out with Ann, Keith, and their son Ben. We walked around the park and took in the beginning of the fall color. Here are a few favorites from their session.

    Oney Family

    Friday, August 7th, 2009

    A few weeks back, I had the pleasure to hang out with the Oney Family…unfortunately, a strong storm wanted to hang out with us as well. I took about 4 or 5 shots (in the lightning) before we decided to reschedule and barely beat the storm as we raced back to their car…yes, their car. I locked my keys in my truck right before a major thunderstorm (i’m a genius…). Luckily, the Oneys had enough room for me in their vehicle until my wife could drive up and bail me out. We rescheduled a few days later and everything went great!

    Phelps Family

    Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

    Last week, I had the opportunity to shoot a family session with some friends Sarah & Jesse and their son at the SIUE Gardens. Jesse develops software applications for a company out in West County. When I have a computer problem above my head, he’s the guy I go to. Sarah is a teacher in a wonderful school district…Triad. See if you can spot the deer in one of the pictures…it was cool to be able to capture it.

    A few weeks back (before my blog died), I had the opportunity to hang out with the James family for a few hours.  Here are some pics from our time together.
