    2018 Pumpkin Patch Portraits

    Another year and the kids grow older. Last year was a disaster – the twins did NOT want their photos taken. We didn’t get any good portraits. This time everyone was game and we got good portraits – at least the first time around. When we reconvened a little later, the kids were over the…

  • Scarlett’s recital

    Scarlett’s recital

    This year Scarlett did hip hop as her dance class and the instructor selected a Pink Ladies meets Hip Hop sort of outfit for the kids. Like last year I did a portrait session with Scarlett in her costume. Unlike last year, it actually came out nice this year. (Last year I rushed it and…

  • Easter at the Farm

    Easter at the Farm

    This Easter we went to the farm so they kids could hunt for eggs there and then enjoy the farm. Unlike my childhood, Easter’s pretty cold up here as you can see. It’s pretty ridiculous to me, considering almost my entire childhood consisted of going to the local park. Stella’s been enjoying horseback riding for…

  • Sam and Stella’s First Disney Trip

    Sam and Stella’s First Disney Trip

    Back in November we took the twins on their first trip to Disney. This time around Scarlett wasn’t as interested in the parades as she was last time, but the twins were REALLY into them. Surprisingly, both twins ended up warming up to the characters. Sam’s reluctance with Mickey on the first day made me…

    Eagles at Conowingo Dam (Jan 2018)

    For the past couple years (ever since my mom got back into photography), I’ve been trying to get her to come in the winter to go photograph American Bald Eagles at Conowingo Dam. They tend to be there from around November to about early January and I usually go in December. This year at the…

  • Playing with Snow

    First substantial snow of the season happened in December and it was warm enough for the kids to go play outside. A few shots from that day:

  • Thanksgiving Dominoes

    It’s always an honor to be invited to the domino table. and Scarlett got to be invited at night: And she did really well, winning one round.

    Playing with Water Outside (late fall 2016)

    The kids were having fun and I was shooting photos so I could have fun, too.

  • Apple Picking 2016

    As usual, we went apple picking in the fall. We ended up not liking the apples too much, but it was fun for the kids.

  • Columbus Day 2016 at the Park

    Columbus Day 2016 at the Park

    I took Sam and Stella to the park on Columbus Day (Scarlett was in school) and they were finally old enough that I could step back to take photos while they worked their way through the jungle gym.

  • A Fall Visit to the Farm

    A Fall Visit to the Farm

    Back in October, we went to the pumpkin patch to do our annual pumpkin patch portraits. Unfortunately, the twins were not amenable so we just did the other farm activities.

  • Halloween 2017

    Halloween 2017

    Jumping forward (I’m still generally working on photos from August because I’ve fallen behind with other responsibilities and playing some video games for Extra Life), we get to Halloween photos. Once again these awesome costumes were sewn by my mother-in-law.
