Amazing Football Feats Continue

Though it was raining and slick out, there were still some pretty incredible moves to be caught at Friday's game between River Hill and Howard High. Here, number 4 continues to go the distance.

Miss Savannah Turns 1!

Amazingly, an entire year has passed since the arrival of Miss Savannah into the world! I was able to spend some time with her on her birthday weekend this month. These are a few of my favorite shots of the visit:


Since I won't be there to see her on Halloween, we had a little preview of Little Miss Lady Bug. She does indeed look as cute as a bug!


This is just a beautiful serene shot, with a little tongue poking out.


This is a great close-up of her mouth - she now has 3 teeth, two of which are visible here. Can you just tell how soft that skin is?


This one has a personal pull to it. This Tigger outfit a gift to Savannah's uncle Mark when he was a baby and it's been passed down. He looked just as adorable it in as well.


I love the fun side she is showing here. It was a fun filled weekend and she was a delight to spend time with. I noticed a marked improvement in willingness to look at the camera since her 9 month shoot.

I'm Back

I didn't realize how long it's been since last I posted on the blog. I haven't been taking many pictures, which is sad. Soon I will be posting more of Savannah (for those of you who follow that darling girl) and there will be some wedding images in the near future too. But, football has returned and I got three fantastic shots last Friday at the River Hill/Long Reach game. I was fortunate to be in the right spot at the right time when one of our star players made a couple difficult catches.

The Happy Family

Here are some images from the Jefferies Family photo shoot at a park near their home. It's tricky to get a nine month old to actually look at the camera, but sometimes it's okay when they don't - you can still see their personality!

More of Boise

On Saturday, we went to a beautiful park in downtown Boise for some family portraits. It seems that every time I visit, I never get a shot of Daddy, so this time, I made sure to get some. Got a nice one of Mom too! They love their little girl. Next post will have some family shots.

Part One - Savannah in June

I recently had the opportunity to visit my daughter, Jillian, in Boise, Idaho. I'm still processing the many images I took while there, but I have finished the "first" part - and wanted to post some of my favorites. Here we see Savannah in her kiddie pool, waking from her nap and her first visit to the park. They're both sweethearts and in the next post you'll get to see her daddy too!

On this visit I shot with all natural light - I didn't even take a flash with me. It's all about finding the existing light and using it. It gets tricky with reflected colors (like in the pool or on the colorful playground) but it can be done!

Basketball Never Ends

I never knew about the year-round world of club basketball, but am learning. We just started a new league, playing in Montgomery County, MD. The gyms aren't air-conditioned after school hours and are kind of dark for shooting. So, it's another learning experience. Below are two shots taken at Wheaton High School from our second game this week.

I like the body lines of the shooters (Evan and Randal). Evan is all stretched out and reaching and Randal is all coiled, ready to release the ball. They're both outstanding players and the team continues to grow in skill.
