Senior Portrait With Style!!!

It's Senior Portrait season! We're off to a great start for the year, I'm so stoked for all the upcoming photo shoots. It's so much fun hangin' out with these kids, shooting in some sweet locales and getting some fantastalicious images.

Rollin' Thunder

Summer is fast approaching, and with it come those fast moving thunder storms that remind us just how insignificant we are when compared to the mighty forces of nature. These photos were taken from West Grand Traverse Bay, facing Traverse City. This huge system moved across the sky at around 50 or 60 miles per hour. You can see that within a few minutes the clouds have blocked out the stars.

 This image was taken last year from the south end of Elk Lake. This storm brought with it an amazing lightning show, the likes of which I had never before seen. Unfortunately it also brought with it a Tornado that took a man's life.  

Bryan & Kim

The first Engagement Session of the year went really well. We only had about a half an hour to shoot but I feel pretty satisfied with how it went down. We went up to this great little sweet-cherry orchard just as the sun was about to set. The cherry blossoms are blowin' up right now! Here are a few of my faves.

Robin is Graduating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My brother Robin is about to graduate. He has been attending school at the adult work center for many years now and it is finally time for him to hit the road runnin'. He has all kinds of exciting plans for his graduation party (he's been planning and inviting people for about four years now). I had an absolute blast with him the other day, making some really fun pics. He's such a ham!

False Alarm. . . .

On day last week I was driving home and saw a huge plume of smoke rising into the sky. Curious as I usually am, I drove over to see what was going on. It turns out that an old farm near my house was able to do a controlled burn in a field next to their barn. They were making a new pasture for the horses. At any rate it made for some serious imagery, it looks much more dramatic than it was

Day Tripin'

Mrs. Weber and I have had a hankerin' for a drive-and-hike trip. We start with the drive since my homeland of Leelanau County is about a half an hour from where we live. Call me set in my ways but on days like this I can't think of a better place to visit. Pyramid Point is part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and offers an awe-inspring experience that should not be missed by anyone who wants to see all that Northern Michigan has to offer.

Of course we brought the dog pack with us as usual (Dugan the collie and Timber the brown muttly one).

First spring B.B.Q!

We were invited to our friends house over the past weekend for a little "sun soakin', great food eatin', good friends hangin', Bar-B-Que. What a great time. Of course their daughter, 15 month old Audrey was too irresistable not to snap a few photos
