Peter the Great

I am finally getting around to posting a few shots of my son Peter. He was born April 7th and has been keeping Karin and I very busy. Here are a few from the hospital...the first one is about a minute after he was born:



More pictures will be coming soon.

Allison

It's been an eventful week, I became a father on Tuesday morning and Karin, Peter and I are doing great. I don't have any pictures of Peter yet, but don't worry, this blog will soon be filled with his pictures. For anyone who isn't interested in pictures of babies...don't bother coming back for a few months. Anyway, Karin and I went over to my brothers house the other weekend and I took some pictures of Allison that I wanted to post before Peter takes over this blog...so here they are:

One Last Picture

One last pregnancy picture.

Into The Wild

This post is way overdue. Karin and I went to Alaska in September for 9 days. We flew into Anchorage, rented a car and drove down to Seward for a few days, then drove up to Denali National Park, then back down to Anchorage for the final 2 days. We had a good time for most of it, but it certainly wasn't the best timing for the trip...we found out a few weeks before leaving that Karin was pregnant...and during the trip she got to experience morning sickness every day. That, along with the rain in Seward and Anchorage and the fact that we both got sick for the last 2 days of the trip kind of put a damper on our trip. While is wasn't the greatest trip of our lives, we definitely enjoyed seeing Alaska and will be going back at some point. Here are a few shots from the trip (the colors were amazing!):
Karin next to a glacier:


We lucked out and were able to see the top of Mt. Denali (Mt. McKinley to the lower 48...but in Alaska it is referred to as Mt. Denali), only about 20% of people who visit it get to see the top:This will probably be the last post before it is loaded with baby pictures, so I hope you enjoyed the landscapes!

Dumbarton Oaks

I have been wanting to check out Dumbarton Oaks ever since I read my friend Matt's blog about getting kicking out while trying to do an engagement shoot(if you don't read his blog...you are missing out...not only is he an amazing photographer, he is also a very good writer). You can read about it here. Anyway, last weekend Karin and I decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather we had in the Washington area and take a walk through the gardens. As usual, Matt was right, the place is a photographers dream and fortunately we didn't get kicked out for taking a few pictures. Here are a couple of the shots that I took:
I am looking forward to returning when spring comes around and the garden is in full bloom.

New Addition on the Way

I haven't posted a blog in a while (this seems to be a recurring theme with this site)...but things have been busy lately. We are preparing for a new member. He should be arriving early April. I took this picture the other day after work with my new toy the 5D Mark II. The camera is pretty amazing...this was taken at ISO 2500. Trying to take a picture with the first 5D at an ISO over 1600 was pointless, the image would be much too grainy to be used. Anyway, pretty exciting stuff.
Hopefully I will get some new images up soon.

Katrina and Derek

After much adieu, here are some shots of my cousin Katrina's wedding. The wedding was held at Innisbrook Golf Resort in Palm Harbor Florida. We had a beautiful day, and everyone had a blast.

November Wedding...Part 1

I have finally had some time to start looking at the images from my cousin, Katrina's wedding weekend (I haven't even picked up my camera since that weekend). Derek and Katrina got married back on November 8 in Palm Harbor Florida. Here are some images from the rehearsal dinner, which was a very laid back evening at the Tarpoon Turtle (http://tarponturtle.com/) right on the water (just my style!). Not surprisingly a lot of the pictures are of the kids...

I hope to get some time in the next couple weeks to go through the actual wedding day pictures and put some up.
