To this day, this is one of my favorite family portraits I’ve ever taken.

This was printed on a 30×40 canvas in a beautiful black frame. They also used it for their Christmas cards. On the cards they wrote, “Same shirt, different day.” I thought it was a fun idea!

These 6 kids were some of the nicest I’ve ever met. When the session was over, they all offered to help me clean up! I was very impressed. This portrait s actually a composite image. They were all in the same photograph, yes, but I had to switch a few faces, heads and even entire bodies. The little girl on the left I traded out her face with an image where she was hugging onto her mother’s arm. The face of the little boy in the front was changed and the boy laying on his stomach on the right was swapped into this portrait because in the original, he was laying on his back. We photographers are always chasing after the “perfect portrait” and swapping faces, heads, arms, etc. is just one of the many tools we now use to get closer to that “perfect portrait.”

Have a great weekend everyone!

This passed weekend, Kendra and I went up to St. George, Utah to attend a family reunion. I won’t say much about that other than it isn’t much different than any of your family reunions; food, talking, food then goodbyes. What I do want to talk about is my stay at the hotel. I’m not about to plug the Holiday Inn or anything. I just noticed something…something rather strange. What is it you ask? Well, proceed 3 lines down to find out!

Welcome back! Ok, so what I noticed about being in a hotel is that every single time I stay in a hotel, I always end up watching these three things on TV.

1) A Dennis Quaid movie.

It doesn’t matter which one I watch because there’s always 3 selections to choose from and they’ll play multiple times during the night.

2) A pastor of some sort.

Now, I have my own faith but for some reason if there’s a pastor on tv and I’m in a hotel, I will devote at least 15 minutes to listen to what they are selling. This weekend, I listened to a pastor try to sell me faith for $1,000.

3) Workout DVDs.I seem to always be eating pizza, burger or a bottle of high fructose corn syrup whenever I’m in a hotel and lo and behold I ingest a good 30 minutes to 22 hours worth of workout advertisements. Be it the P90X, Insanity workout, Brazil Butt Lift or a machine that not even the most health conscious supermodels look good doing. Maybe I’m just jealous… sigh.

It’s a very busy and fun month! Last Saturday I photographed a young couple’s wedding day portraits. I can’t help but feel a little old in comparison. It’s been amazingly windy the passed few moths in Vegas and lo and behold it was quite windy on their special day too but we made the most of it. Here are a few from the day…

And just for fun, here’s a little project I did for my friend/2nd mom/Mary Poppins fan Wendy who designed her own cookbook of her favorite cookie recipes to give to her family. She had me design the cover for her and this is what we came up with.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go write my 6th grade English teacher a letter explaining why I began my previous sentence with the word “and”. Thanks everyone!
