Everyone love their children and think theirs are the best. I’m not different! Here are some photographs of my amazing children that we took in November for our holiday cards. Now that everyone has seen the cards, I can put out the images!

All three. This is a 30x30 gallery wrapped canvas on our wall.

All these are really just the tip of the iceberg. I could easily have put in another 20 images!

I took a walk with my family at the Mill Creek Town Center. We each had a camera and took some images. Here are a couple I took and one by my nine year-old, Kyler. I will add some images from the rest of the family in the next couple of days. I’m helping each of the kids to process their images, so it is taking a little more time for them to get ready.

Ky loves old cars, so he took an image of this old mustang as we walked by

I really liked this leafless tree.

For the photo-oriented, I shot with a 5D and my new 50 1.4 Sigma. I am very impressed with the Sigma 50 1.4. It is much sharper than the Canon 50 1.4 at f-stops more wide open than 2.0. The Canon is pretty good at 2.0 on and it is a toss-up there with a tie or slight edge to the Sigma at every f-stop I have tried. Ky’s were taken with an old point and shoot. He’s nine.

Janet and Mike were married at Bastyr and had their reception at Anthony’s in Edmonds. I had a great time at their wedding last weekend. Here is just a single image taken on the foggy afternoon in Edmonds.

Here are a few images of some recent wedding and portrait books and albums.

This is a senior portrait book.

This is a 16×12 album with fantastic 32 inch wide page spreads.

As I mentioned a while back I am on the current judging panel for the ISPWP. I have now looked at all the images and finished up my judging. It was fun. It was hard! It will be a couple more weeks before the results are up!
