Throwback

 September 2001 Blue's Festival Laclede's Landing, St. Louis, MO

An old image from my school days at Webster.  This was shot on 35mm Fuji Velvia film for my Ilfochrome class.  I LOVED this film and making prints from it.  It is a process that is now dead.  I believe the film is still around but it is processed and then scanned into a digital file before printing.  I do my own scanning at home with an Epson V550 scanner and get mixed results.  I haven't figured out the trick to getting consistent excellent scans.  Here are two examples of the same image.  The first was scanned in as is and edited in photoshop, the second was scanned and published as is. 

Jensen's and family

Merry Christmas!  I'm going to be short on words tonight as we are leaving for Nebraska in the morning and I still have packing to do.  However, I really wanted to get the Jensen's preview blogged before I leave.  With their parents both in town for the holidays, we were able to get some photos of grandparents and grand kids along with mom and dad.  We met on Christmas Eve morning and beat the rain, sort of, it was raining lightly toward the end, but we found a porch and everyone braved the cool wet weather to get some great photos.  I had the pleasure of photographing this family together two years ago at Christmas also when Kate, the youngest, was just a baby, now she is almost 3!  I hope everyone is having a very Merry Christmas and enjoying family and friends.  I will be busy putting together my year in review slideshow, so look for that coming soon!  For now, enjoy the images from the Jensen's session.

Stone - Bentley Families

O what fun!  I have photographed this family a few times now over the years, before little Stone was even around.  Now he is almost two and definitely has his own agenda.  He was a perfect toddler running around and exploring, giving me lots of candid moments.  Thanks to the Bentley and Stone families for giving me the opportunity to see your family grow.  Here are some images from their session.
