So today I noticed that Google had a different pic up about Perseid Meteors and how today was the ‘best’ time to watch. 60 to 120 shooting stars an hour I saw reported on the web. Well what do you know it was clear out so Renee and I got in the car and went off to find the darkest spot in the boonies. We found a housing development that was far out from Nashville where we laid down on the comfortable warm pavement radiating heat from the now set sun. We watched the starry sky for about 30 mins and only saw 5 meteors. One was magnificently bright and long, felt like it was so close to the earth. I took a few pictures, although nothing with a trail in it. ;) Maybe next year…

We’ve known Amy and her photogenic family for some time now, and it’s always a pleasure to snap shots! We traveled down to their new home last week to talk some needed pictures of their growing girl Sydney. She’s such a bunch of smiles; it was great to be able to capture this moment for Sydney. I was preparing the photos for Amy and while looking at the first 2 shots below I thought, “How cool would this be if I had pictures like these of me romping around!” When Amy and Trent came to pick up the prints, seeing their joy made me realize once again why photography is so important and worth it!

Renee’s sisters visited along with Michelle’s 2 little ones. I took the day off on Friday and we all headed to the Nashville Zoo! Lions, tigers, bears… oh my. Well more line Elephants, Giraffes, and Wild Boars! Long day in the sun… :)

It’s alway wonderful when in the middle of a Tennessee winter you get the luxury of running on open beaches in Florida for a living.  Here are a few shots from my time with the Bolsingers out on Clearwater Beach. I’m excited about this year and all that it has to offer.

Not much to this video, it’s just the fact that it’s one of the first I was able to put together with my new 5d mkii!

These are some great friends of ours who have three gorgeous kids.  Check out the quality of this video!!
