What I would change...

This photo is definitely not my favorite photo from this shoot...but I do think it is cute.  I would love to get the guy to wear a different pair of shorts...something with just one color.

Skeedz

Zac is my oldest son, his nickname is Skeedz.  He is a very sweet tempered fun loving little boy.  He has also proven to be a great big brother so far.  Since I am a photographer, he is very used to getting his photo taken. Many times I partake in the fun, however, other times I am the person just out of sight capturing the memories of our family fun.

Agape

Agape- Unconditional Love, not based on performance or even whether it is returned. It is a love that gives even when rejected.

Fluffer Jum

This is my son Luke, fluffer jum is his nickname right now.  I used my 85 mm lense and available light which was coming from a window behind me in his room.  The two lenses I primarily use are the Canon 85mm and 100mm macro. 

Skandalon

The Greek word for "offend"in Luke 17:1 comes from the word Skandalon. This word originally referred to the part of the trap to which the bait was attached. 

I realize this has nothing to do with the photo I attached, however, I want to post a photo every day with SOMETHING educational.

My First Day with Macro.

Today was my first day really trying to shoot macro photography.  I am finding out again that I really enjoy working with available light, which did make things a little more challanging today.  So far I am happy with a few of the images I captured today, however, I realize there is much much more room to grow in this field.  I used my 100mm Canon Macro lense to capture this image.  Please, if you have any tips on macro photography I would love to hear them, as this is a new adventure for me.  Thanks!

Meet Ayden, He has Leukemia

This is Ayden, he is our next door neighbor and one of my Son's best friends.  He is almost three years old and was just diagnosed with Leukemia a few days ago.  We went to the hospital as soon as the doctor said he was well enough.  He used to be over here every day jumping on the trampoline, riding power wheels and romping in our backyard. Now he is hospitalized for at least six weeks, has a port in his chest, and will be receiving chemotherapy for the next three years. I am going to ask his parents if I can continue to document his recovery through my photography, since this was a first visit I did not take many photos as he was still very ill.  Please pray for our friend and I will try to post a new photo of him every once in a while to keep you all updated.
