Humane Society stories always make me so sad.

Life is So Unfair…

This little one threw a mini tantrum today when it was time for me to leave her house on assignment. Apparently while I was photographing her dad for a portrait, she had run upstairs and put this tutu on for me to take her picture 🙂 I was more than happy to oblige.

Weddings…

I have been shooting weddings for about three years now, mostly in the summer, and have been going through some of my wedding archives, trying to put together some sort of (actual) website/ book so I can market my work better. These are a few I decided to throw up on the blog since nothing notable has been going on in the last week or so at the paper. Shooting a wedding is a nice break from the daily grind in news and it has been refreshing to go back through these.

Blizzard…

For the past several days West Michigan has been dumped on by over 12 inches of snow. This of course, has meant weather photo hunting for me, which has included being stuck in four ditches, falling through one snow drift and one very crispy notebook with the names of subjects completley running together.
