I have to post this. My 21mo old boy Nathan cracks me up! I promise you, we did not teach him this. :)

Happy New Year everyone! I can’t tell you how excited I am about 2009 and all that we have going on. It’s going to be a great year.

Here’s one good reason to be friends with a photographer. :) Todd Pellowe and I did our annual family photo session trade (I shot his fam, he shot mine) and I couldn’t be more excited about the pics! Thought I’d share a few…

Man I love our boy Nathan.

Nope, not gonna do it!

Goofing off.

Look who I found sleeping in our studio… My son Nathan is supposed to be working on his Olympic high jumping records… but ahh, I caught him sleeping on the job.

My wife Cheryl, son Nathan and I just got back from a wonderful vacation up in New Hampshire. My grandparents own a huge peninsula up there with cabins on Lake Waukewan… which was where we stayed for the past week. The purpose? Sort of a family reunion and of course, to celebrate Nathan’s 1st birthday.

In honor of him, here are a few photos from the week.

Mmm. I always get my detail cake shots. ;)

We have a golden… but this is my Dad’s golden. In honor of all goldens (the best dogs on the universe)… here’s a pic of Henry relaxing.

Henry has a watchful eye. Always looking for food scrapings falling off the table.

There’s something about my boy and light. Since he’s my first… it may be just a baby thing. But this boy is crazy about light. He’ll probably be a photographer like his dad one day… cause light is the most important element of photography. :)

Mom try some!

Yummy.

A couple of fun shots outside. Man, is he cute or what?

Such a sweet boy!

Ah, the scenery was beautiful. I miss it already!

Ok. Back to work now… :)
