Default Finally got to #100.

Howdy all. I've thought about my 100th post for a while and it's a milestone for me. I thought that I'd have some really inspirational post that I'd be able to WOW you with. Anyway, without getting mushy, I thought I'd share with you that which inspires me most... My children.

Here's three shots from a shoot I did this past Thursday evening. I shot them with the expressed intent of replacing what I consider dull and lifeless school pictures.

I really hope you enjoy them

Amber -


Alyssa -


Alden (AJ) -


Thanks for looking

Cheers,
Steve

Thanks Sox. For sure, I've been blessed with great kids. Fortunately for me they're all at home in front of the lens. AJ is quite the ham.

Thank you, sir. The group shot is next on the list. In the words of Don Henley... One of these nights. One of these crazy, old nights...
