Hey parents, wanna know how to get your senior son excited about senior pictures???  Tell them they can get pictures on their dirt bike.  That is what Blake’s mom did, and it worked.  I had a BLAST with Blake.

This is one of my favorite shots…

This next picture will give you an idea of how high he was jumping.

We did take a few non-dirt bike shots…

Hope to see you next year when your brother gets senior pictures done.  I can’t wait to take pictures of his goofy smile.  :)  I think after last nights fun it won’t be too hard to talk him into getting his taken.

I love it when seniors bring props with them.  Brittany brought her super cool pink guitar and her mic.  She is an amazing singer.  It took us awhile but we got her to sing and my jaw dropped.  For a second I forgot to take pictures.  LOL

Thanks for the fun afternoon Brittany and gang.  I hope you guys never forget Brittany’s senior picture session.  I know it will go down in my book as one of the best times ever.  Oh and I am sure some day we will see Brittany on TV or hear her on the radio.  She is gonna be a super star!

Erin is such a fun girl.  I knew we were going to have a good time.

This last shot no one else will ever have.  My dad was moving cows past our house while I was shooting Erin.

Erin’s mom use to live on a dairy farm, so she was excited Erin would be able to see something like that.  Yeah we are such a farm family out here.  I got to help move another bunch of cows yesterday.

Got to start off with one of my favorite ring shots ever.  (and I can’t take credit for the idea Brian set it on there)  Isn’t Heather’s ring amazing.  I love it!

Quick animation I threw together, I should have had it repeat a couple times but am in a hurry because I need to leave so I will have to fix it later.  You’ll just have to hit refresh and scroll down real quick until I get back.

Thanks Heather and Brian for the fun afternoon.  Side note to all Brian’s friends… don’t fall for his cat joke.

Kid’s Quote Book Release Party at Starke Co. Library in Knox April 22nd 5pm

The books will be in my hands very soon!!!  I ordered one book, had Rachel look it over and make some changes and then put the order in.  So I should be getting them soon.

First off, incase you have no clue what I am talking about… I have created a kid’s book that is called…  ”No Fear”  The Silly, Sweet and Inspirational Things Kids Say.  It bring awareness to Neuroblastoma (the cancer my little cousin Maggie has) and it also has pictures of local kids and some questions we asked them along with what they had to say.  I am very proud of the book.  It turned out better then I expected.  I can’t wait to get it everyone’s hands.   So that is why I am making this blog post….

Thursday April 22, 2010 at 5pm central time at the Knox Library I will have a book signing for the kids that are featured in the book and of course the public is welcome and encouraged to support all these kiddos.  I want the kids to sign 2 books for me.  One will be auctioned off at the Starke County Relay for Life and the other will be auction off for the Starke United during their radio auction.  I know some kids are too young to write their name but we can just trace their hand or something fun like that.

Oh and if you can’t be there at 5:00 don’t worry I will be there until at least 6pm and if you need to meet up with me a different day then that is fine.   I would like to take a group picture of all the kids that are there, I would like to do that around 5:15ish, but that is alot of kids and not sure how that will go.  We can try though, and if it doesn’t happen no biggie.

I know you guys can’t wait to see the book, here is a picture.

LOL  Sorry that is all you are going to see until the release party.  Well, I might be nice and post some more pictures when I get the rest in, depends on what kind of sharing mood I am in.  I will tell you this though, every kid featured in the book is on the cover.

Oh one more thing… I got to see Maggie and her family at Easter.  It was so nice to have their entire family at one of our family functions.  Rachel and Maggie haven’t been able to attend anything since last Easter.

Starke Memorial Hospital’s operating room.

The staff was wonderful to work with.  Can’t wait to do more projects in the future.
