In Memory Of...

This week we went to the Erie Zoo with our grandchildren. As we walked through the exhibits we remembered that there were two less animals there now. Simba the lion and Mizar the polar bear both passed away this year.
Last spring Lorraine and I were able to photograph both of them with the Erie Photography Club. We had a special day when we went into the Zoo before opening time and photographed the animals.
This brings up a good point. When you have a photograph made, it's a memory. We don't like to think about this, but could it be the last memory of someone you love? Good reason to make sure you never put it off. Tomorrow could be too late.

Shelby at Three Months

It was a hectic day, and she wasn't feeling at her best. But Shelby came through with some beautiful poses! A great deal of thanks goes to big brother Lucas, who helped her to smile. Looking good....

Hannah

It was an overcast morning, Hannah was a little shy, and it all came together perfectly! We held the session in her back yard by a playhouse her parents had built. So why did it take me over a week just to get an image up on this blog? Because there are too many good images from which to choose. I literally have gone through them dozens of times, sorting, re-sorting, then doing it again to get the number down to a reasonable level for her parents to choose. Sorry Jane, but you're going to have to choose between quite a few beautiful pictures of Hannah!

A Day At The Beach

We had the opportunity to hold this session at Presque Isle State Park, on the beach. It was a fun morning and everyone had a great time. The weather cooperated also, which is a real plus! We really enjoy adapting to new locations for photo sessions. It gives everyone a chance to explore new possibilities for a great image.

Logan

Another great child model!
Logan was easy to work with, and fun too. I pity his mother, because now she has to choose "The Best" from all the images. That's not going to be easy with this little guy... I still haven't decided on my favorite, and I have had plenty of time to see them.

Shelby

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to photograph Shelby. Newborns can be challenging, but a lot of fun.
Did the images "work"? Well, my 5 year old granddaughter gave her seal of approval as soon as she saw me working on them.
What do you think?

Home School Curriculum Fair

Thanks to all who stopped by and talked with us at the Home School Curriculum Fair on Monday. We had a great day and look forward to serving your portrait photography needs this year.
We are happy to announce that Kathy Sheldon of Erie won the drawing for a 1/2 hour portrait session and an 8X10 portrait.
