Easterlings

I was approached by my friend and co-worker, Annie, a few weeks ago about doing some maternity photos. She and her husband Josh are expecting a little girl at the end of May. I had never done a maternity shoot before, but for friends, why not give it a shot. So I went over with little-to-no-expectations of how it would go. It ended up being a lot of fun. I think I got some good shots too. Not bad for my first try.

West Family

Our friends, the Wests, invited me over to take some family photos for them. Joe was on leave for R&R from Iraq so they wanted to capture some memories of the time he was home, especially since Jackson, their son, is growing up so fast!

Wedding Logo

A friend from college asked me to create a logo for her wedding this October. Here is the final design.

Logo ReVAMP

I coach tennis at a local high school. When I asked the A.D. for a logo to use on our sweatshirts that I was designing, she sent me a LO_Res image of (what appears to be) a scanned patch! I couldn't believe it was the only logo they had on file. Anyway, I took the liberty of creating my own version in illustrator so I could use it freely. Here are the before and after images.



I have yet to figure out why the baby falcon is holding a club with a spike through it on the original. Also not sure what the stethoscope looking contraption is coming out of the little guys...ears...? Do birds even have ears? Who knows. One of those logos that are so odd, they are kind of cool (in my opinion).

Short Family

On our trip back to the midwest, I was able to get some family photos of the Shorts during our stop in Northwest OH. Here are a couple from the shoot.

Eric and Angela's e-session

Over our Christmas vacation in Michigan I had the opportunity to photograph Eric and Angela's engagement session. I will be shooting their wedding this summer and probably won't see them until then so we snuck in a couple hours between the snow/rain showers in downtown Grand Rapids. It was great to see you guys again and hang out for a bit. Looking forward to July 10 already!

The Nordgrens

Here are our friends, the Nordgrens. I had been promising to do a photo shoot for them for some time (since their anniversary in September!) and it finally worked out to do a quick one this weekend.
