Crashed Hard Drives and Senior Portraits

This is my lovely niece, and this is also one of her Senior Portraits.  It's difficult to take a bad photo of this kid. :) She makes my job easy.

VERY shortly after I last posted about aaaallll of those photos I needed to download and edit, my beloved MacBook Pro took a turn for the......exploded?  My hard drive is currently in California with Drive Savers, on life support, and hopefully giving up the photos trapped on it to their capable technicians.  I had most of my stuff backed up on disc, but there's a very, very important series on there that hadn't yet been uploaded or put on a disc yet.  If I only get those back, it will be worth it. Please keep your fingers crossed, and say a little prayer to my MacBook's hard drive soul, floating in the in-between, to GIVE UP THE PICS ALREADY!!! Seriously folks, I've had 5 different computer pros spend a total of 17-20 hours so far, trying to retrieve the data. 

Luckily, I hadn't yet downloaded these pics of my niece, from my camera card.  And my mom is sweet enough to let me hijack her computer for several hours today so I could edit them.

Time Flies!!

WOW!!!  It's been over a month since I posted any photos!  I'll get to downloading some event, first day of school, and vacation photos soon.  I've got a full card in my camera and a lot of edits to do, to make room for some senior portraits I'll be shooting tomorrow.  Don't give up on me yet, content to appear soon.

40th Birthday Cake Frosting


I am VERY curious how long it took to get the black cake frosting off of all the kids at this party!

MPHS Class of 1990, 20 Year Reunion


This year, I've had my first real experiences with event photography.  What a KICK!  Seriously, it's hard to believe my luck as I wander around capturing moments like these above. Watching people laugh, reconnect, and generally enjoy themselves is a great way to spend an evening!

Anniversary Portraits






This is my lovely friend Sheri.  She's celebrating her wedding anniversary today, and wanted photos for her husband as a surprise.  The shoot was at Jennings Park, which is a great location, and we had a lot of fun!
