A couple weeks ago I was hired by a friend to do some photography for his business. He and his dad train dogs and run a kennel in Albion, IN called Boberosa Gun Dogs. They wanted some pictures of their dogs and kennel to use for the new website that they are having designed. So I had to get up early on a Saturday morning but it was worth it. The lighting was awesome and I got a lot of good shots (as far as I can tell). I don’t really know much about hunting or training dogs but they said that I got some good photos. It was pretty cool and I learned a lot. And they said I might be able to do it again. If it works out right I might take some photos of dogs on a regular basis for their clients. Here are a few of the photos I like:
Christmas Photos (from church)
Every now and then I get asked to take some photos at an event that our church puts on. About the first week of December Crossroads had their Christmas music program. There was a lot of good music and the kids put on a good show and I took a few photos of all the action. They wanted mostly photos of people coming in and a few of the band but the shots of the band are more exciting so take a look at those:
Family Portraits at the Park
Even though we learned a lot by taking pictures of a baby it was nice to get back to a family with kids that wouldn’t start crying every few minutes. We photographed this family at Bonneyville Mill park on an overcast day in October. Here is a small sample of the photos that we ended up with:
They were a great family to work with. They were a lot of fun and we got a bunch of great shots. We got some good individual photos of each kid and some good shots with all three kids… I should have put up more but I had a hard time deciding. Now I know how they feel when they say that they are having a tough time deciding which they like. At least they aren’t saying that they don’t like any of them…
Into the Realm of Baby Photography
In October my wife and I were asked by some friends to take some photos of their son. Though we didn’t have any experience (or idea about) taking photos of very young children we decided to give it a try. We spent most of the time at the park and also took a few at Fashion Farm and a couple at their house. It was a little cold so the poor kid probably didn’t want to be out there. He wasn’t extremely cooperative but we still got a few good shots of him and the whole family. Check out a few of the photos below:
West Noble Invite Shirts
Let the mass update begin…Â (stay tuned for a steady stream of updates about what I’ve kept myself busy with the last few months.)
I was asked to do a shirt design for the West Noble Cross Country Invitational a few months back. I can’t take credit for the color choice. I designed it in black and white and then the fine folks at Shepherd’s Shirt Shack did the hard part – choosing a color and printing the shirts. I didn’t get to take a picture of an actual shirt so the picture below is the black and white file turned color. In fact those might not even be the right colors but it should be close enough to give you the right idea…
