  • Valentine’s Day At The Vineyard

    I had the pleasure of photographing a whole bunch of the couples at my church on Valentine’s Day this year. My wife and I are a part of our Marriage Ministry and got to help plan this year’s Banquet. The theme that was chosen was “The Love Boat”. I originally thought about creating a giant…

  • Another Trip Across Idaho

    Another Trip Across Idaho

    I made my way through Idaho once again to call upon some of my customers. As is often the case, I had with me my trusty camera. Here are my 3 favorites from the week.

  • Our Puppy Named Rawley

    Our Puppy Named Rawley

    Our new puppy is very cute. Just ask my 5 year old boy, who approaches the puppy with “You’re sooo cute” every time he sees him. These brief glimpses of a calm and quiet puppy are really a lie though. I was entirely fortunate to catch just a few moments of calmness as he sat…

  • A Fire In Our Neighborhood

    A Fire In Our Neighborhood

    Flashing lights lit up our walls as we sat playing cards this Friday night. We were curious of course, so we stepped out to see what all the hubbub was about. It seems one our neighbors was out of town and their house caught on fire. It was quite a show. There were at least…

  • My Private Jet

    My Private Jet

    I had the privilege of doing some work on a privately owned hangar recently. The folks who manage the hangar gave me permission to take a few shots of the jet while I was there. It also turns out that one of the photo groups I participate in on Facebook is currently shooting a travel…

  • Early Cold Saturday Morning

    Early Cold Saturday Morning

    I awoke bright and early this morning with photographic intent. I’m usually an early riser, but with the purpose of beginning my work day. Finally, I have a morning when I can escape the schedule and sit in the dark and wait for the sun to show it’s beautiful face. I left with plenty of…

  • First Family Snowman

    First Family Snowman

    There have been a few snowy winters since my daughter was born, but I don’t think we’ve had any with snow good enough to make an actual snowman until now. So this was my first opportunity to pass along the skills I learned from my dad. We had a ton of fun rolling the snow…

  • A Sunday Near Christmas

    A Sunday Near Christmas

    As it nears Christmas time, I’m reminded how blessed I am. I love very much the family I was born into, and the family that I’ve built with my wife, but there are certain times during the year that remind me just how awesome my church family is. Christmas time is one of the more…

  • Monochrome Self Portraits

    Monochrome Self Portraits

    I was stuck working in Pocatello this week. Once again I found myself killing time in a lonely hotel room, so naturally, I got out the camera to play. I’m a member of a Facebook and Google+ photography assignment group, and last week’s assignment was a self portrait. I was thinking about how I would…

  • Gentle Fall

    Gentle Fall

    My camera has the capability of making some really beautiful video as well as still images. In order to use the footage though, it usually takes a different set of skills and for me, a lot of time to put together a great finished product. As a result, I don’t often take the time to…

  • Birds of Prey Flight Demonstrations

    Birds of Prey Flight Demonstrations

    My daughter had been given a family pass to the Birds of Prey Flight Demonstration as part of a previous field trip with her school, so we went on Sunday. It was so cool. The birds were big, beautiful and amazing to watch. The show was very educational and entertaining. Here are a few shots.…

  • A Fall Day At The Boise Zoo

    A Fall Day At The Boise Zoo

    We had a nice family outing to the Boise Zoo on Saturday. The weather turned out to be perfect. A little bit overcast, so it wasn’t too hot, and it wasn’t too cool either. Most of the animals were out to play or be stared at and the kids and adults all had a wonderful…
