Week 08 - Jordan

A shot from the shelter. The girls that work there are great to work with and are equally great with the animals.

Week 8 - Nate

Sarah’s baptism was last weekend. After the main event, we had everyone over for snacks and drinks. Nila of course made cupcakes which she topped with chocolate crosses.

Week 07 - Jordan

Like I said last week, I recently started volunteering at the Humane Society. What you can expect from that is a lot of my weekly photos will be related to it. :-) In this instance, I decided I needed some practice with my technique. Kirby (my cat) was nice enough to hop in front of my camera and sit there while I tried some things out.

Week 7 - Nate

Inspired by Jordan’s cat pictures, I decided to try out my hand at a white background/flash setup. Sarah wasn’t wanting her picture taken, so I had to settle for one of her Valentine’s day presents – a duck from aunt Anna. I have a little ways to go before I get as good as Jordan, but not bad for my first try.

Week 06 - Jordan

Just this week, I started volunteering at the local Humane Society taking photos of cats and dogs that are up for adoption. It should be a pretty good challenge.

Week 05 - Jordan

David and I put on an introductory "flash 101" class the other night and this is one of the shots from when we introduced "gelling" and adding effects with gels. We didn't go all-out using it, but just wanted to give folks an idea of what can be done.

Week 5 - Nate

Just a quick 7-week photo shoot of Sarah.

Week 4 - Nate

I’m cheating a bit this week – I didn’t take any of these recently. This is the culmination of a project Nila and I worked on for a little over a year and finished this past December. We printed and framed Henderson for us and my parents, Holmquist for hers and Nelson for Maria & Jon and gave them out as Christmas presents. We have ours hung above the front door and it looks great.

Week 04 - Jordan

One of my favorite things we saw in Seattle was the EMP Museum and especially the Battlestar Galactica exhibit inside. It was just really fun seeing props and set pieces from a show I watched growing up (thanks, Dad!) and the newer series more recently. I'm sad that the exhibit is ending, but the one that will be replacing it sounds pretty neat, too.
