Forrest vs Gravity

Here are some outtakes from a recent family & kids photo shoot in Edmonton.  (take that SEO) 
My son Forrest, all dressed up in his baptism suit, practicing his levitation skills.  

 

What else can I add here...stop motion photography, studio photography...that sounds good.  Learn photography at the Canadian Photography Learning Centre.

Proof of Life

Yes, I'm still alive and capable of creating new blog posts.  But with the Twins still not sleeping through the night, a pet dinosaur (3 year old Son) and a steady amount of teaching photography classes on evenings and weekends....I just haven't been able to scratch up the motivation for a blog update....until now.

These are a selection of images from the last year or so.  Enjoy!

Twins Update

Wow...if anyone ever tells you that raising twins is twice as hard as raising a single child...slap them.  It's at least 4 times as hard.  It may be a lot of work, but when I see those two little faces smiling at me, it's all worth it. 

It's hard to find the time to photograph them, besides quick shots with the family P&S (point & shoot) camera.  But I recently got a new professional camera, and what better way to test it out, than to shoot my twins (and their big brother, of course). 

So here are a few new photos.

 

We lovingly refer to them as our 'Toe-headed' children.  Hopefully the girls will be able to grow a nice head of hair, but judging by their brother, it's going to take a while. 

Portraits

Here is a selection of portraits I've shot...I won't say recently because I've been lax at updating the ol'blog...but here they are.








Not really a portrait...but I thought it was cute.

Birthday Party

Here are some photos from Forrest's cousin Reid's 1st Birthday.

My wife made these great (and fully edible) 'Shark Cupcakes'

Forrest doesn't crawl yet...but he's very good at getting around via the log roll.

Outside in the sun, he had to borrow a hat...it's a little big.
This one is still big but it looks a little cooler.
Piggyback ride from Uncle Mike.

Six Months Old

I took these shots on the day that Forrest was six months old. He is in his Jumper...he loves jumping....and thank goodness because it keeps him occupied and out of trouble while we make meals for him and ourselves.

Easter at the Farm

We celebrated Easter out at the Farm with plenty of family, which always makes for great photo opportunities.

This is Buddy, a very old Black Lab...the prototypical Farm Dog.

Go Fly a Kite...
It wouldn't be Easter without a few card games.

Here are some wide angle shots around the farm...with some experimental processing applied.
