#613 Taking Advantage Of Your Surroundings...
Hi Everyone-
Today's images were shot on our recent family trip to Walt Disney World. More specifically they were shot in Disney's Animal Kingdom.
While we walked through the Dinoland section of the park I noticed this orange and green wall that seemed to go with the clothes that Cree had on that day. She was really ready to keep moving so I was only able to get one shot off while she was fully engaged with me. Then she gave me the I'm done look and walked away.
Later on in the day while we were walking around in the Asia themed area of the park I noticed a very cool wall outside of the restrooms. Conveniently for us it had a bench built in. So we stopped and played around for a few minutes and got the images of Tonya and I with Cree.
One thing that I always try to do when we are traveling or even out and about in our own area is to look for cool backgrounds and textures that I can incorporate into fun images of the family.
Have a great day!!

#603 A Few Seconds of Fun
Hi everyone-
Yesterday, which was day three of SNOWMAGEDDON 2010, everyone was home so we got to play a little, have a nice lunch and take a few pictures before I headed in to work for the night.
During all of that I was outside trying to expand the road and driveway back to its normal size with the snow blower. While I was outside Cree decided that it would be nice to get all "beautiful" for daddy.
So while I was gone her and Tonya painted her nails and she put on her pretty dress that I got her recently in Nashville. When I came in she very daintily showed off her beautiful dress and nails to me.
Of course I had to get a few pictures. However she wasn't really in the mood for any posed "pretty" pictures. This was more of a fun goofing off kind of day.
So here's a few from our 5 min photo session. They were all lit with natural light from the kitchen door. I was actually outside kneeling on the deck and Cree was in the house. I wasn't able to come in because I had on my fire gear which was full of snow from my little project. But it seems to have worked out ok.
Have a great day!!

#538- It's Yorkfest Arts Festival Time!!
HI everyone-
Hope you had a great week! Starting tomorrow at 10AM the Yorkfest Arts Festival gets underway along the York County Heritage Rail Trail in downtown York. I'd like to invite you all to attend!
It's rain or shine and it looks like we have the chance to get a little wet tomorrow. But not to worry there are a ton of great artists as well as food and entertainment.
This year I am located at KING STREET and the Rail Trail. This is a bit further down the trail from last years spot. I am on the creek side. Just look for the huge battling elk photograph and you'll find me!
Hope to see you there! If I don't have a great weekend!
Today's image was shot this past week and I love it. We had a slot of fun shooting these images and this was one of my favorites because it captured a great moment where we went from fun to shear terror and back to fun in less than 30 seconds. It also sums up how I feel while I rush around getting all the last minute details taken care of for the show this weekend.
Have a great day!

#434- Birthday Wishes and Looking at Fishes...
Hi everyone-
I want to start off by wishing Tonya a very happy birthday! I hope you have a great day. You mean the world to me, I love you!
We shot these images over the last weekend. Cree was looking out the front window watching the fish in the pond when I came in the room. I thought the light was good so I quick grabbed the camera and asked her to look over to me. The rest, well she came up with that on her own...
Have a great day!
