senior session :: cameron

tuesday i had a senior portrait session with a young man named cameron. i would define him as an achiever. he has worked hard over the years to attain many of his goals . . . 

one of his goals to achieve is be a designer for digital animation . . . 

yet another is to design video games . . . 

in order to do this achieving he needed to invest in this computer. of course, when he came to show this to me at our shoot . . .  i loved the color . . . RED!!  

 it just happens to be my favorite color too, cameron.

 . . . but what achievement was most impressive was the fact that he has become an Eagle Scout one of the most highest achievement a young boy could receive from participating in Boy Scouts. Cameron is from troop 290.

we started off the evening with photos of cameron and his car . . . 

then his motorcycle . . . 

then a few around town

 . . . later headed down to the Gerald Ford Museum, Grand Rapids, MI's own 38th President of the United States. He too was an Eagle Scout . . .

we ended our session with cameron showing his RED computer off . . . 

cameron good luck with all those achievements that you will receive. i have no doubt that you will rise high and to master them all.

and thanks again for a great night!

Wedding :: Tony and Rachel

little girls dream about being a bride someday . . . and then when those little girls grow-up and find that they are in love it's hard to believe anything else matters in the world. 

love is euphoric . . . there's an energy . . .  emotions . . . obsessions with one another  . . . we go to sleep only thinking about each other . . . feelings of just spending time with each other . . . holding hands . . .  kissing forever . . .  

tony and rachel were married on july 30th. a blissful afternoon of excitement, nerves, and finally embracing those dreams she had as a little girl.

the getting ready . . .

some of the details . . . 

the first glance . . . notice tony keeping his eyes closed while his bride comes closer . . .

just but a moment frozen in time for the two of them . . . 

their wedding party was supported with love from friends and family . . . 

just seconds before the ceremony . . . 

given away  . . .

evening full of fun . . . 

 . . .  and then credit to my second shooter who just happens to be my son.

an artist in his own right. check out what he is working on . . . thanks evan!

rachel you were breath-taking . . . don't tell your mom but i cried as i watched your dad walk you down the isle . . .  no longer a little girl . . . dreaming of her wedding, but a grown woman in love with her man of her dreams. best wishes to you both!
