Danielle - Senior Portraits




Another one finished...I enjoyed getting to know Danielle. She has demonstrated great responsibility and works very hard. She has great plans for her future and I bet she will make them come true. She has been accepted to M.S.U. and Univ of Detroit. I wish her the best! One last thing Danielle, "Live the life you have imagined!" Thank you.

Michelle - Senior Portraits





Well it was extra special doing this portrait session! I had a chance to watch this young lady grow up! She was a helper in my Brownine troop eons ago. As a girl scout she achieved Girl Scouts highest honor, the coveted "Gold Award". This award is the girls version of the Eagle Scout Award. Last year Michelle had some obstacles to overcome but she made it through. I am very proud of her. Congratulations on your graduation! Thank you, to you and Grandma Pat, for choosing me for your senior portraits!

More Photo Enhancements...




Another image with the same effect. This is cool! Photoshop can do so much and I have so much to learn but I am learning it!

Photo Enhancements


This image is from Dave and Lynnea Lamberg's wedding. It is sample of what Photoshop can do. I have been working on this technique for quite some time and finally have it. It is feats like this that get me excited. Please post a comment and let me know what you think.

Flowers for Algernon




Shelby High School's Production Art Class presented "Flowers for Algernon" over the weekend. I went on friday evening and enjoyed it so much I had to go back and take pictures. For a small rural school we have some great talent. I have to give credit to our director Kristi Stariha who works very hard to teach her passion of acting to her students at Shelby High School. Very well done everyone! Enjoy the video and if you would like to view the images, go to my online proofing gallery.

2009 Mrs. Asparagus Queen Candidates

This year I have the honor to photograph the 2009 Mrs. Asparagus Queen Candidates for our county. It is truly a pleasure to spend some time with each of these ladies. It sounds funny but asparagus is serious business when you live in Oceana County. So serious that we have a national festival celebrating the harvest of it. Michigan ranks third in our nation for asparagus with our county (Oceana County) being number one in production. To learn more go to http://www.nationalasparagusfestival.org
