Editorial Work . . .

I had the opportunity to shoot for the MB Herald earlier in the summer. It was for an article on leadership development in the annual report of the Canadian MB conference of churches - you can see the photos and read the article here.

Pastors Kevin & Dan were easy going subjects, and it was great to hear a little bit about what was going on at their church. As a former HR consultant, I loved the area of leadership development (LD) so it was especially gratifying to shoot images that illustrated an article outlining some LD.

My favorites from the session:

Grandparents, parents, children, siblings, cousins, in-laws . . .

Every once in a while I have the opportunity to document a wonderful thing - the gathering of extended family who are usually separated by many kilometers, by countries, or even by continents.

Mr. and Mrs. T enjoyed the company of both their grown children and their families this summer. Here are a sampling of some of my favorite images from the shoot:













Thanks everyone, for allowing me to be a little part of your gathering!

An interesting sky last night - and my house model earning his pay in candy.

The U family visited us for their yearly portraits.

The tween & gracious big brother:


The always easy-to-photograph gentleman:


The beautiful princess:


And last, but definitely not least: the little man. He gets three photographs published because his individual portraits have eluded me until now:






The whole family:


Don't worry kids, the I'll publish the portraits of your parents a little later this month. Thanks for the visit - I can't wait until next time!

Miss B is halfway through her second year, and her mother came to see me to commemorate the occasion. You can see her when she was a few days old and when she became one here.

She's so grown up, and has her own ideas about how she wants her image made. This is one of my favorite stages of childhood that I have experienced with my three kids (although I guess every age has become a favorite so far), and I have the grey hairs to prove it!







I knew the session was over when she asked me: "Mooore Miiiiiilk, pease."
