Baby Max - 4 days old

OMG... How precious is this little guy?!?!? Max is the son of Marcie and Erich (from my Jamaica wedding). Born September 1st, Max weighed 8 lbs. 1 oz, and was 20.75 inches long. He is Marcie and Erich's first child, and will definitely be a new photography subject for me for years to come.

Our first photo shoot of sorts with Max didn't really go as well as we would have wanted, but we did get some adorable shots of Max resting peacefully with his mom. I hope to be able to get back down to Indianapolis in the coming weeks and get more pictures of this little guy to share with you all!

Steve Poltz - 31July09 - South Lyon, Michigan

What can be said that hasn't already been discussed on this website about this combination... You bring Steve up to the Maylen's house in South Lyon and you are in for one heck of a night. This was the fifth show of Steve's at the Maylens' and the 3rd in 'The Barn', yet we still have a fair amount of first timers coming to these shows, who leave just blown away by the entire night.

It is not just Steve's music, his antics, his banter, or his wit that keeps people, like myself, coming back for more each time he comes around the Midwest. It is also the hosts, like the Maylens, the friends, like Modl and Chris Wolf and 'Frag' and Megan, and Lisa, and Charlotte, Nessa, Colleen, and everyone who travels from all around just to come see Steve. It is also the camping, all the tie-die, the dirt floor, the annual neighbor complaints, and the whole atmosphere in general, that brings us back. The food, and entertainment aside from the show that just leaves a lasting impression in our thoughts as we wait for the next time Steve comes out our way.




This show also marked the first time that Chris Wolf was able to grace The Barn's Stage as he was invited to open up the show for Steve, and Chris continues to entertain and win over fans every where I see him perform. It is always a pleasure to see Chris and Dianne and hear Chris perform.

Zane and Aspen

Not too often is a photographer such as my self lucky enough to be asked to photograph two of the most precious beings imaginable, but this was just the case when I was asked by a friend to come to Cincinnati and photograph Zane and Aspen. I was more than willing to make the drive down to Cincinnati, a second time even, for the chance to take some pictures of these two, and their proud, big sister.


I absolutely fell in love with these two as soon as I laid eyes on them, and as you can tell, the camera does not phase them whatsoever. I am REALLY looking forward to getting to document more of these two, their sister and family, as they get older. They were amazing to work with, and other than a little bladder control issue, not a problem at all. :)


Aspen was even gracious enough to help me out with getting a signature shot for advertising future child photography. If you lay a child on blocks, the blocks will get moved. If you present the right opportunity, you can make art!

I mean, com'on... How freakin' cute is that?!?!
