Spellbound Baseball

My nephew's little league team has a stylish color scheme going on. Oh, they play some good ball, too. The Mets won their little league championship yesterday and luckily I was there to capture the action. Way to go Mets!

Hiring me to come and shoot your son or daughter at a sporting event can make a unique alternative to traditional portraits. We can even squeeze in a few more traditional portraits before or after the event. Pricing is similar to traditional portrait pricing. Contact me for more details.

The Wrestler, Part Two

A few weeks ago, Joe, his brother James, sister Kellie, my mom (who was visiting) and I got to play parent to Joe E. at a wrestling meet in Stillwater. Kellie was watching him while his parents were on vacation. Joe, James and I were there to take over parenting duties at wrestling, which was good because Kelllie got a little squeamish.

On the ride home he fell into a pretty deep sleep. One minute, we asked if he was okay; the next, we found him like this:



Ah, to sleep like a child...
