Annie Junior, presented by the junior high at Saint Catherine of Siena in Fort Thomas, Kentucky.

Typically I only show my own photography here but I offered to post photos shot by Doug Lonneman so the parents and students could see the shots he took during a dress rehearsal on January 19th. I have also included two additional galleries I shot for them.

If you would like to download the original files for these photos, click on a thumbnail and when the large version  of the photo opens, roll your mouse over the upper left-hand corner of the photo and select “Download Original”.

Erinn & Jamie’s Wedding, Holly Specht Photos

09.22.09

This is the last of Erinn & Jamie’s wedding photos. This gallery was shot by my sister Holly Specht and brother-in-law Eric. Holly offered to help out by shooting here at the house while the girls got ready and as the other family member always with her camera, Erinn was happy to take her up on the offer. Thanks Holly & Eric!

You can see the entire gallery here. Enjoy!

3 Days, 3 States, 7 Skateparks

09.09.09

skate

I should have edited and posted these long ago. I took my son Michael and nephew Parker on a skatepark trip through Columbus, Wheeling and Pittsburg from August 6th through the 8th. These are 2 of the close to fifty “multiple exposure” shots I captured over the 3-day trip. I’m posting this right now because I feel guilty I’ve not processed all the photos for Michael yet.

Stay tuned….

Erinn & Jamie’s “Pro” Photographer’s Gallery

09.09.09

OK, so everyone wanted to know who was going to shoot Erinn’s wedding since I was going to be a bit busy that day. What most of them don’t understand is that you couldn’t pay me enough to shoot a wedding. I prefer shooting things that I can re-shoot if I mess up the exposure!

Ron Baker from Nashville, TN was the photographer for the ceremony and reception.

You can view the entire gallery here. Enjoy!

Erinn & Jamie’s Wedding Reception

09.03.09

Let the party begin! Here’s my shots from the reception. Looking at the photos and talking to the guests, I’d say evryone had a great time. After all the “official” stuff the place started rocking and didn’t stop till we made the DJs close down the music. Everyone danced like crazy. Maybe making 2 additional beer runs because we ran out twice had something to do with it. Not sure.

See them all in this gallery. Enjoy!

Erinn & Jamie Pre-wedding

09.03.09

These are shots at Jamie’s house and our house of everyone getting all “prepped up” for the special day.

You can see them all in this gallery. Enjoy!

Erinn & Jamie’s Rehearsal Dinner

09.01.09

I am typically the uncle/friend that shoots candid photos throughout weddings and receptions, but this time I was the father of the bride! I told myself early on to not get out of control shooting throughout the weekend of my daughter’s wedding and think I did a pretty good job being the dad and not the photographer.

This gallery of shots are from the riverboat cruise rehearsal dinner and a few from a small party afterwards.

I’ll be continuing to post photos from the weekend so please stop back soon. I will also be posting photos shot by others (my sister, Jamie’s dad and the “paid” photographer). If you would like to know when photos are added, just sign up for email notification in the column to the left.

Here’s the entire gallery. Enjoy!

Proud Grandpa

None of my kids have really shared my interest in photography. But my grandson Braylen seems to have the “bug” for shooting. Maybe someday we’ll go out on one of my all day Saturday shoots. I’m so proud of him!

Poppy Mountain Bluegrass Festival 2008

09.22.08

After just getting back from Poppy Mountain Bluegrass Festival in Morehead, Kentucky, I figured it was time to post the photos from last year’s festival. These have not been posted until now because friends at the festival this year asked that I share them. Sorry for the delay in getting this gallery together, but better late than never huh?

See all the photos here. Enjoy!
