Garage Photos

Set up some lights in the garage and took some goofy pictures of the girls. There are some cute ones too.

Rosie

Thought we should put up some updated pictures of Rosie. We have to take her in and have surgery on her eyes. She was born with too much skin on her eyelids and the lashes are tucked inside againsts the eyeballs. She didnt grow into them as we had hoped. But the doctor says it is an easy procedure.

Leah and Me in Makeup

Leah thought it would be fun if her and I did each others makeup. Both results are scary but for different reasons. A hairy guy with makeup doesnt work for obvious reasons, and my cute little almost eight year old looks far to mature with that stuff on her little face.

Kids playing

Just some fun of the the kids playing and running in the family room.

Ruth's Photoshoot

I got a new camera a couple of weeks ago. The Nikon D90. It was a trade for some work I did for Garret. So I set up the flash in the living room and took some photos of ruth and Jessica.

Christmas

We had a fun Christmas this year. I was able to take the week off from work. Even though the studio was closed anyway from the 12 inches of snow. We had fun playing in the snow. It took Ruth quite awhile to get used to this mysterious new substance on the ground. But once we let her take a few rides on the sled she was hooked. We went to My parents for Christmas eve with been and Christie and all the girls and then on Christmas day Jessica's Dad came up from California and surprised the girls. We had a hard time keeping that a secret. We weren't sure he was going to be able to come because of all the snow. It has been a fun week. Enjoy the photos and videos.

Coraline

They have a new Coraline movie site that has some fun stuff to look at in your free time. The site is goofy and requires some codes. But the behind the scenes videos are worth the effort. There isnt anything with me in it, but there are some of my shots hidden randomly in there.

Here is the trailor with a few of my shots.

Girls at the Park

Leah singing in her school play. (Video Included)

Leah and her classmates performed their yearly Christmas performance. She was 'truly' the star. She has changed in the last year and instead of crying and fleeing the stage, she seems to come alive and really enjoy performing. Which makes me excited. Every filmmaker needs a steady actor on call. Hee hee.
