Capturing Autumn ~ Grasses

Fall is such a colorful and beautiful time of the year... So many yellows, purples, reds, and oranges.

But, personally I enjoy seeing the many shades of tans, browns, and golds that often get overlooked. The best example of these colors are displayed by the many different grasses I see in perennial beds, along highways, by forests, and at the edge of water...

Capturing Birds ~ Black-Capped Chickadee

I know... I just posted an image of a black-capped chickadee within the last couple of weeks. But, while working at one of my gardening clients homes this past week I was able to capture one again.

I love working at this client's house because of the number of chickadees, nuthatches, and titmice that visit a feeder at the front of the house. They don't seem to mind me working close to them either.

I'm hoping to have an opportunity to capture a titmouse and nuthatch while working there this week.

Capturing a Chickadee ~ Happy Memories

If there is one bird that I can say is my favorite "childhood bird," it would have to be the black-capped chickadee... It always brings back so many memories of the house I grew up in on Harlem Avenue in Monmouth, Illinois.

We always had a bird feeder outside a large window by our family room, and more along the woods that lined our backyard. I remember watching many gold finches, cardinals, sparrows of all types... But my favorite to see was always the chickadees.

I love happy memories... It's amazing how a photo, new or old, can always bring back those happy memories.

That is why I'm a photographer... To help others, and myself, hold on to happy memories.

Capturing Michaela ~ Olympia High School Senior 2012

While shooting a family session the other night, I took advantage of some remaining light to capture the oldest daughter of the family, Michaela, a senior at Olympia High School. Some family sneak peeks will follow very soon, but first here are a few of Michaela...

Thank you, Michaela, for giving me the opportunity to capture your beautiful personality... I'm looking forward to our next shoot sometime soon (hopefully).

Capturing the Burchams

It was a little windy, but we made it work... However, with five beautiful kids and a loving mom and dad, how could it not work?

Brian and Val have been friends of ours for several years... I was thrilled when they asked if I could take portraits of their family. Here's a quick peek at the end result...
