Saturday Morning Breakfast

Last Saturday morning was one of those perfect mornings that helps lead into the perfect day. It was started with a good ol' American breakfast all done outside on the grill. 




We had grilled beacon, potatoes, and fresh garlic to go with our eggs. 
It was perfect. One of those breakfast where there was actually a little too much food for all of us. 
 Btw, this isn't really a food blog... but I can't help it! 
I didn't know we were going to have such an awesome breakfast when I posted about the 
awesome ice cream place (Mr. Freeze) last Friday. :)

Ice Cream! I.LOVE.THIS.PLACE

Dear Mr. Freeze,

You are probably one of my favorite Ice Cream places in the world! And judging by the lines that are always 10 feet out the door—make that four doors, it's everyone else's favorite too. I've been coming to see you as long as I can remember! Thanks for making the best ice cream every!


Our favorite place


Outside... right before the LONG lines got there. We only have to wait just outside the door.



Waiting our turn to order. 



Blake and Shane getting a little goofy... long lines do that to them. 


Too many choices! 



Lots of flavors!



Finally placing our HUGE order! :) A moment of excitement for sure! 

Blake has his. 

Bryce with his.


Ahhhhh. Yes! This is my turtle sunday with pecans. Oh was it good! 

It was so good I took two pictures.


I took three pictures.

I took four pictures .... then I ate it because I was making myself TOO hungry.

The proper way to eat an ice cream cone.

Port Clinton, OH. Playing around with Flash

So I was chillin' with my bros and Sister-in-law last weekend trying my hand at some of the stuff I learned in Chicago at the Showitfast Freedom tour for photographers that Thursday. It was pretty fun!

It was right in the middle of the day and as we all know, light in the middle of the day is horrible. Well, it was time to play around with my flash and see what I could come up with.


After I had a few successful self-portraits it was time to try it on the family. 



Starting with Blake



Then my oldest brother, Shane



Then Blake again, 



This shot has nothing to do with a flash... but I thought it was a cool sign. I don't know why. lol.

Flowers for you.



I got this lens a few months ago... back when dogwoods were still in bloom but forgot to post this. :) 


Shallow depth of field—I LOVE it. I'm using the Canon 50mm 1.4/f lens here for this image and loving it. I'm heading out to do a unique photo session tonight with a cool couple to get some .... um ... well, it's going to be cool and I don't want to ruin the surprise. :) Let's just say it's going to rock the socks off the guest at their reception. I am so excited!!!

Quick announcement... I commit


The canvas here is 16x20"


Guys, I feel so guilty for being so bad about posting recently. Trust me that it does mean good things for you all. I've got tons of images in the works to be showed off. Last week I was able to resort to a coffee shop all day long for two days straight and got over 480 some images edited and ready for print. That's crazy outrageous. I love it when I can get in a creative mood like that. I think my clients like it too actually. LOL.

Here is where the announcement comes in. I've changed a few of my standard photography business commitments for this year. Since the beginning of this year I decided to try turning around all the images from a wedding in 30 day or less and with success. Yes, that's hard but I've heard a lot of complaining from a lot of brides who were bummed that they had to wait 6-7 months before they saw their images. This made me feel really bad for them. I used to promise a 60 day turn around. But since wedding photography is now my full time job, I want to up my overall quality and customer service in my business. It's now time to come out and just say it publicly. What good is a commitment if nobody knows about it? So there you are, I commit.
