Vacation Photos, Part 2

Oh yes, much more calming & soothing! This is the part of the vacation we enjoyed. On the last day, Wednesday, we were able to spend several hours on the beach before we left town. It was beautiful & Joy & I had such a great time being with one another. My wife really is a gift!

Question of the day: If you were to print one of these pics & frame it for your bathroom, which would you choose?

Vacation Photos, Part 1

The Green Gecko

Although I will spare you the events of how our vacation went awry (for details, read here), I thought I would share some of my favorite pictures. The house we rented, The Green Gecko (side note: if you read the link above you will understand why we found it ironic that the green gecko was painted puke-green), was situated on a beautiful wildlife preserve on the beach. I managed to get a few good pics during the 1st day while it wasn't raining.




Part 2 of Vacation photos reveal that we did have a few glimpses of beautiful weather! Stay tuned.

RJ & Jessica, Part 1 of 3

So... as I told you in my "appetizer," RJ & Jessica's wedding was incredible. Leading up to the wedding we were all in doubt about the weather. Weather.com was saying 90% chance of precipitation pretty much all day Saturday. The potential problem was figuring out how Jessica & RJ were going to get married out on a dock in the pond. I was thinking, "Well, this is going to officially be my first wedding shoot in the rain." But... the sun prevailed & broke through the clouds. I couldn't help but think that God was hookin' us up. It turned out to be a beautiful day to take pictures & I cannot believe how perfect it was for lighting. What do you think? (click on any image to enlarge it!)

RJ & Jessica's Wedding

A few words sum up RJ & Jessica's wedding:

• unpredictable
• spontaneous
• surprising
• perfect

I began editing the pics from Saturday's wedding & you will not believe how perfect the conditions ended up being for photography. I mean... my jaw dropped when I saw some of the landscape pics. Well... I could go on & on, but why don't I give you an appetizer!?!

Grace Elizabeth DeBusk, Part 1 of 2

Yesterday was a trip! I started off the day at Prospect Elementary School in Cleveland speaking to the 5th grade classes about photography. I had the students stage some action shots & we laughed alot! Plus, I answered questions, the most popular being, "Have you ever take pics of anyone famous?" I tried to tell them that I was famous but they didn't believe me. I know... kids just don't understand. But, I did get to show them some pics of Tiger Woods that I had taken at the Masters this year; they were impressed. 

Then, at 3:30 pm, Grace & her mom, Kerri, came by the studios yesterday for a studio session. We had a great time running all around the studio. But... I did manage to capture some really great pictures that characterize Grace's personality. Grace runs on a full tank of gas! Or at least she did yesterday. But, I think she likes me. I was able to capture a few hugs in the process. Score! If you would like to see all the pics, register at:  http://www.pictage.com/653393

Ladies & Gentlemen, let me introduce you to Jonathan Thomas Bohannon. On April 7, Jonathan entered the world at a lean 6 lbs. 5 oz. & 19 inches long. I had the pleasure of shooting a newborn session with Jonathan on Monday with his mother, Kim, & his big brother, Isaac. We used my home as a studio & captured some great photos of this little guy. Here are a few of my favs:

After shooting some pics in the studio, we took a trip to the park for some fun in the sun! Well, actually, it was overcast, but nevertheless, it was fun!
