We spent a couple of hours trying to keep up with the Witvliet kids this weekend. I’ve processed about half of the photos that we got from our time at Ford Park. I’m eager to post more of them soon. Unfortunately, I have some very important meetings to attend in Palm Springs this Monday through Wednesday, so I may not be able to post them until the end of the week.

Jill and I went back out last night to take some more 6 month photos of Madelyn. There were some things that I didn’t like about the first session so I was eager to make some fixes.
We started out in the park, but we were inundated by gnats. We lasted about 15 minutes. Then we walked over to the fountain at the university to see what Maddie thought of giant streams of water shooting up from the ground. She didn’t seem so impressed.


“What’chu talkin ’bout, Willis?”



I love Out-takes!

Welcome to all of you who are visiting this photo blog for the first time. If you’re a friend or family member coming over from the Mark and Jill blog, you probably know that I’ve been talking about and dreaming about getting serious about photography for a long time. Well, now I’m doing it.
I’ve launched this blog as a way for people to see my work, and as a way to keep me accountable for shooting several times a week. Thanks to Greg and Rachel, Sheila, and of course, Madelyn, I’ve been able to begin building a portfolio for others to see. If you’re interested in helping me continue building my portfolio, please let me know; I’d love the practice! I’m eager to do some senior portraits this summer as well as more children and couples. Call or email and we’ll set up a date!
Here are some of the photos that Jill and I took to celebrate six months with Madelyn. It was my first time using a flash and I’ve got some learning to do, but a lot of these turned out great.


I learned that babies aren’t supposed to have strawberries at this age, but we thought we’d make an exception for the photo shoot.


I love hats!

boom! She’s got to work on her balance yet.


At six months, Madelyn is already very reflective…

…and patriotic.


This one’s for Jill’s dad who loves dogs and gave Maddie this toy (I think).



Thanks for stopping by! Please be sure to let me know if you live in the Redlands, CA area and you’re ready to set up a date for you and your significant other, or you and your kids, or just you!

Come back soon!
