Here are some images from our school spring photo sessions. These are always fun as you get to see the changes in the kids from year to year. I love the expression of the boy in the bottom image and yes we do have one of him looking straight ahead and smiling!!
Here is courtney's senior images. I love the one with the blue in the background. Her sister went with us and kept us entertained. By the way Lauren ...Harley's are classic
I photographed the wedding for the parents of these kids 7-8 years ago. The Dad had these images made to surprise Mom for Christmas. I called and asked how the surprise went and He said, "It went even better than I expected!" She was thrilled to say the least. I saw his mother-in-law today and she said that she couldn't hardly look at pictures without crying.(just so you know... that's a good thing)
This is Brittany and I used to photograph her when she was 6 or 7 years old for dance recitals. We went to her aunts house and did some of these that are by the barn. The seesions where we go somewhere that the senior wants to go always turn out great.
Here is a mission style table that I started some time ago. The table is made from Wormy Chestnut. The American chestnut tree was one of the most widely known trees in the US until and blight was brought in from imports and now there are only a few known trees left living. Old chestnut many times has holes in it where worms have burrowed through the wood. It actually makes the wood desireable. This was some wood a friend of mine gave me from trees that had been pulled from the KY River and then dried and sawed into lumber. This was basically the scrap that he had left from projects he had built so this was not the best quality but it was cool to be able to use it.
I have several projects that I have started and never finished. I am going back and trying to finish up some of these projects. I finished a small blanket chest and now the table. I love Stickley "mission or craftsman" furniture. I can remember the first time I saw a mission Prairie chair and settle(which is a long wooden couch with arms and back with cushions to sit on). I thought it was some of the coolest furniture. At the time I thought it was a new design someone had developed when it actually was a design that was close to 100 years old.
this is an image of Tim Farmer and his band "The Dells". They play 50's music(Elvis, Jerry Lee, etc.) This was a shot that they will use with different backgrounds for posters etc. Tim Farmer is the host of KY Afield. The rest of the band is John Welsh- Guitar, Courtney Welsh-drums, Tim Sharp-bass, and Jason Miller-keyboards.
Here is a promo clip for KY Afield from YouTube.
This is a clip with the self proclaimed "Moron Brothers" You will love their houseboat.
I was coming back through town on my bike(the pedaling kind) and saw all of these motorcycles out front of the bar that just opened and thought I would try to take a couple of photo's. I was able to get away just before all the bikers came out to break my neck thinking I was one of those FBI/police/narc spy types.
