I love Christmas time. Not only because if the real meaning, and celebration, but because I get to spend time with my whole family, and its not just dinner. It’s a chance for us to catch up, and this year, since my parents have the far for sale, a chance to grab fun photos around the farm, and log that part of the legacy in the books.

Family photos like this can be captured anywhere you would like. If there is a place that is important to you and your family, or those special in your life (i.e. friends, girlfriends, boyfriends), give me call.

So we started with a family photo, and then I got some of my mom and sisters together, and my mom and dad.

The three girls that never come in and out of my life :) and aren’t afraid to torture me when a new one enters.

I love these pictures of my parents! It shows their personalities so well, and it captures nearly two decades of winters on the farm.

Ellie and Krista live in D.C. now, so it was nice to grab a few portraits of them together on the farm.

Krista and dad used to spend mornings rowing on Donegal Lake, but since it was most likely frozen, this was a nice fun tribute.

Since winter is just around the bend, I’m getting ready to launch my new winter lifestyle sessions, where we spend a day skiing, sledding, hiking, snow tubing, or anything else that you like to do in the winter, and capture you and your family having a fun day together.

The idea came to me when my parents put the farm that I grew up on near 7 Springs Ski Resort, and we really dont have photos of this time in our life. So this fall, when we have the whole family together, I am going to work on creating a book to commemorate that segment of our life, before the next step begins.

So that is what I am proposing to families coming into the area from Baltimore, MD., Washington, D.C., Virginia, or as close as Pittsburgh, etc, for a weekend of fun in the snow at ski resorts locally, (7 Springs, or Hidden Valley) or any place that is meaningful to your family, i.e. a camp, other resort, cabin, or local Western Pennsylvania Park, etc.

After the day of shooting is finished, I will be producing a custom coffee table book for you, to remind you of that time in your life, before it passes by.

Anyways, here are some photos that I have been playing with from downhill mountain biking yesterday at North Parks free ride hill Dr. J.

This first one is me taken by my buddy Ray, even though I am cut off, I love the photo. Typically I dont like any heavy processing, but with these photos it gives it more of a gritty look.

The rest of these were taken by me, using an off camera flash, camera left, with a Nikon D70, Pocket Wizard, and a slow small aperture lens.
