Merry Christmas everyone, we hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday season!.

So last night we went to  Jeannie's aunt Betty's house for our first Christmas get together this year. We had a great time seeing a lot of Jeannie's family. Good food, great company and a little football talk makes for a great evening. While we were there I took some pictures for Jeannie's family, wish I had brought more than just my 18-50 lens and a 430ex flash...used some nice light coming in from the window for my main light and bounced the flash in manual to balance with the ambient...could have done better with my triggers and an umbrella, but part of being a good photographer is being able to produce shots in less than optimal conditions.

Looks like a late might, watching the weather as reports come in...forecasted snow totals just keep going up...as of right now the last report was 5-9" expected in my area with up to 3/4" of ice expected south of here in Louisville KY. Soon as there is anything to take a picture of I will post some up!

So after weeks of putting it off I finally broke down and reworked my logo into something I feel is more professional and that I hope will go a long way in building brand recognition. What do you think?

Problem is I have never been able to find a grid that was made just for hot shoe flashes that were affordable. Well, I happened to stumble across these guys, Honeycomb Grids , and they have the perfect products to use for your hot shoe flash... you can but them ready made or DIY, in addition to grids for flashes they have grids for beauty dishes and strobes, as well as gobos, snoots and wraps. So if your in the market for a quick, cheap grid solution check these guys out.

Sorry for the lack of any posts over the last week or so. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I took a little time to relax and not do anything but catch up on some reading I have been meaning to do. I took all of last week to read the Harry Potter series and finish up some Christmas shopping. Anyhow, I am back and wanted to post up a few things...Today we went to the local Christmas Parade and I took a few pics of that, had fun standing in the snow with the family and watching the parade go by. Seen a few faces I knew riding along in the parade and a couple of the kids that attend the day care my wife works at were in the parade as well.

Went out Friday and took pictures of our great nephew for his 1st birthday, Always fun to take pictures a of a fussy and tired 1 year old! lol. Now I am busy editing pictures from a session we shot of two couples a few weeks ago down on the fossil bed on the Ohio river across from Louisville KYand then I will be making a book for one of the girls. Sometime in all this mess I need to take a picture of our puppy Bella and our cat Furball and start making our Christmas cards so we can get those ordered. Like I said, busy, busy, busy!
