Gotta love kids...

We took the kids out for a quick photo shoot (big mistake... hahaha) because we needed some new portraits of them. I wasn't able to capture even one image with all three of them so I will have to be happy with what I did capture considering they didn't want to be there in the first place. Oh well, they'll get over it. hahaha

Becca + Labor = Hours in the hospital

As a lot of you know, Becca is 9 months pregnant and the baby is breach. We came to the hospital today to see if Becca's Dr. could turn our baby. The baby turn was successful and now we wait. Looks like it's going to be a Friday the 13th baby... we can't wait to see if it's a boy or a girl.


Ready?

Still haven't picked a name so if you have a good one that you would like to share please leave it in the comments or email it to us.


Hopefully I will be posting baby pics soooooon!!!!!!

80's madness

This past weekend my family and I went to a birthday party for Becca's sister. The theme for the party was... you guessed it the 80's! As soon as I heard about the party I knew what I was going to wear... the hunt was on!

Here are some silly shots when we were looking for glasses. I can't believe these styles are cool again... what's happening?


This is what happens when you let a 4 year old dress herself! She thinks it's pretty funny to cross her eyes... I hope this phase passes soon!

Heidi tearin it up!

My HOT pregnant wife rockin out! She is going to be having our baby this Thursday!!!

Here's the birthday girl... so old she needs magnified glass to read. LOL

And here it is... the Miami Vice suit that my AWESOME wife found for me. Thanks babe!

A sunny Sunday afternoon at the park.

Wow... yesterday was such a beautiful day! My family and I took the opportunity to go to the park and play in the sun! I've been working so much lately so it was nice to take a break and have some family time! Here are some quick shots of the fam.

All I want for Christmas...

New York Day 2

After being up for almost 36 hours straight we were able to get a good night's sleep last night. This morning we started another busy day in NY, this time we headed for Greenwich Village, Ground Zero and the Statue of Liberty. I can't believe how many things there are to see and do in on this tiny little island. I'm in a conference for the next two days so we wont be doing much during the day so I'll be getting some night shots for the next couple of days. I think we are going to try and make it to the Empire State Building tomorrow night at sunset so that should be fun.

Here are some images from today.
Us on the ferry on the way to see the lady.

Here we are with Lady Liberty.

Another one of us... but hey... it's our vacation right?

Here she is in all her glory! (no photoshoping... this is how I shot it)

This is what lady liberty wakes up to every morning. The NY sky line from Liberty Island.

This is an image Becca took of a memorial that some kids put together across the street from the hospital where the wounded were taken on September 11th 2001.

This is part of a memorial on the exterior wall of the building housing Ladder Co. 10 directly across the street from Ground Zero.

Home of all the great men and women that make up Ladder Co. 10

I don't even know what to say about this one. The feeling that came over Becca and I as we walked up to the empty hole is indescribable. I didn't even want to photograph it, all I really wanted to do is pray for those who lost their lives and their loved ones on that dreadful day.

Right as we got off the ferry after returning from Liberty Island it started pouring rain and hail. If you look closely you can see the rain still falling in the next images. These are grave stones in a church near Ground Zero.

New York Day 1

Wow... Yesterday was crazy! I was pretty nervous about coming to NY, I wasn't sure what to expect. I had heard stories about "Be careful with this..." and "Be careful with that..." and "Watch out for this..." but I haven't felt like that at all. Yeah there are a lot of people EVERYWHERE but nobody really pays attention to anyone else. It has definitely been a cool experience so far.

We have a busy day today, we are going to try and make it to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Ground Zero, Greenwich Village and the Empire State Building. I have a conference Monday and Tuesday so we are trying to get in all that we can! Our next trip to NY will definitely be a more relaxed one.

Here are some images from our first day... feel free to leave comments!

Becca Chillin.

Maybe we will do a top 10 list of all the things we loved about NY...

Reflecting on Radio City Music Hall.

One of the cool residential buildings that we passed by.

Becca and I in Central Park... as we were walking Becca says to me... "We should probably hold hands." That has been the joke ever since. LOL

Windows on a random building.

The Apollo Theater in Harlem.

One of the many churches.

Every Mac lovers dream... mmmmm

Hanging around Time Square at night with NY finest!

My 6 yr old + My Old D1X camera

I've been wondering for a while what I should do with my old camera/paper weight and then it hit me when Ayden started asking if he could use Becca's camera. I pulled the old D1X out of the camera bag... dusted it off and put an old lens on it and let him loose. He wanted me to pose for him and I gladly obliged... as you can probably imagine I am ecstatic that he is showing an interest in photography. If you remember our 2007 Christmas card, he took the images of Becca and I for the card.

These images were taken at mid day in our back yard so the lighting isn't the best. Considering this camera weighs about 5 lbs and is pretty big and bulky I think he did a pretty darn good job... what do you think?


Here is a shot of him working the beast! He's even doing a little camera tilt.

Friends and fun

Isn't it crazy how life works? I went to high school with Dustin and Sarah almost 15 years ago and didn't really hang out with them too much. Now, so many years later our paths have crossed again and it seems like we've been best friends this whole time!

Last weekend they invited us to join their family in Bear Lake. We had such a rad time hanging out and we even made it to the beach one day for a quick shoot. The weather was cold and the rain came in on Monday but that didn't stop us from having fun!

Dustin and Sarah looking HOT!


Becca being a little sinful... rockin out.

I'm bringin sexy back... yeah! Check out Sarah laughing at me.

Gotta love those freckles!
