Happy New Year!

Jan 9

Happy New Year! It has been some time from my last post, mostly because after a marathon editing rampage before Christmas, I ended up with a pinched nerve in my neck and took some time off to heal and be with my family over Christmas.  This time was extended a little bit due to several snow days this week, but things should fall back to normal next week.  We had a great show today at The KC Star’s Bridal Spectacular and met LOTS of wonderful brides and their families.  Thank you to everyone who stopped by.  My 2010 is really filling up, so if you are interested in securing Creative Video for your wedding film, give me a call or email soon.  There are not many dates left.

I’ve got lots of postings to share with you – a new year’s baby, a wedding, and a great big family shoot – but for now, here are my little ones celebrating the beginning of 2010!  Well, mabye not the beginning  – more like 9pm, but we still celebrated!

Well, these are just too cute!  We had a great fall day at the Nelson the other day, and while we were a little bit worried that it was going to be too cold and there wasn’t as much color on the trees anymore, it turned out beautiful!  We got some wonderful images and just had a great time!  Last year’s holiday session was done inside – I’m so glad we were able to get out and do these on location this time.  Next year we may just manage to get out before the leaves fall from the trees! Thanks for a fun day guys!

family ravoli-day!

Dec 6

Well, it is about time for a personal post.  I don’t do this very often, but really should post about my own kids more often.  Truth is, I take a crazy amount of photos and video of them and then never really get it edited.  I have STACKS of tapes and hard drives full of them. I figure I just keep taking footage and one day when I am all caught up I will edit it. 🙂 one day.

This is my latest exception – my first timelapse with the 5D – I am very excited about this media – and of course about the subject!  We have had this family tradition for quite a few years to make ravioli for xmas dinner.  It goes back to when my Mom was growing up and her Dad (Irish-Italian) made ravioli by hand for Christmas dinner. I remember going to visit and seeing pasta drying everywhere and my Grandpa covered in flour. So we have tried to match his recipe as closely as possible and put in a few of our own twists, and voila a old/new tradition is born!  This year we went to my Brother’s house – Audrey has become something of  a breadmaking wizard and it gets better every year!

So enjoy our ravioli day – I can’t wait for Christmas dinner!

more family portaits!

Nov 18

Man oh Man!  More, more, more! Another beautiful family on a very colorful fall day! We hit the Nelson Atkins on the most perfect day – I think this was after several rain-outs tho, so we earned it!  what a fun family – the kids are just one year younger than mine, and our boys go to the same school!  actually, this family won their session at the school’s auction last year – yes I will be donating once again – so if you are a blog reader and your kids go to my kids’ schools keep an eye out for the portrait session at the auction this year! Thank you guys for a fun evening – and I have to add that I went straight to Red Snapper that night for take out – it was yummy!

Another beautiful family in Kansas City!  Hard to believe it was this warm and pretty as we are finally experiencing REAL November weather.  Mabye snow tomorrow?  Really?  I would rather look at these beautiful images and feel the warmth!  Joshua is a buddy of my son’s and this is the second time I have gotten to take their portraits!  Thank you for letting me photograph you again!  I am partial to the relaxed (laughing) shots of Joshua – so funny!  We had a great time – thanks!
