  • A Family Portrait in Ephrata

    UPDATE 12.10: The final prints have been made and hung in the clients home. I’ll add a photo below of the main print, which ended up being a 70in framed heirloom canvas. The two other scenes were both made as 36in heirloom canvas for other areas of the house.

    What a great looking family. And they did a great job as this was no easy task. I just had the privilege of making a portrait of all forty two of them. I won’t say it was easy, but I good a hearty challenge. The planning started well in advance, meeting with Mr & Mrs Chamberlain and then visiting their farm various times to layout and plan the portraits. I even chatted with a few of my mentor photo elders before photo day, discussing options and getting ideas. When the time came, I didn’t even have an assistant, but planning ahead made things come together almost perfectly.

  • Our Little Cyrus Is Growing

    Cyrus is nearly 9 months old. I don’t post about him as much as I should, as I have hundreds of pictures of his antics. He’s soooo cute. Crawling now, he cruises everywhere squeaking and cooing to himself as he discovers new thing on the floor to eat, and sweeps it with his little body. Out little bot is growing up. When I get home he get’s exited and gets a huge grin. Then we go lay on the couch and he cuddles with me for a few minutes before he gets back to exploring.
