Introducing Owen Barabe

Tonight Lee and I had the pleasure of staying (babysitting is not appropriate for a young man of 5 years) while his parents attended a school function. We ate pizza, ice cream and cake. (well sort of, sorry Lee) and watched cartoons on TV. Owen played with Maggie and even took her for a walk to the park. All in all, we had a wonderful time together and are looking forward to the next opportunity to "hang out" Here are some cool shots of this handsome and smart kid!

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there. We all know how much we love all of you. Lee and I are particularly sad today because this will be the first full year that we will not be able to celebrate this special day with my mom. She passed away just over a year ago and we all miss her very much. So, if you have a mom, give her a extra special humongous hug for all of us as they are the ones that truly care for us when we need them. We love you mom!

Here is Nancy Siegel (Do you think this hair style will ever come back?)

Painted Portraits

As some of you already know, we have been transforming our original photography images into truly unique works of art using digital painting processes for quite some time. Here is one example of an image that utilized a very special pastel brush technique. Here are the before and after. I hope that you enjoy it!

This is the original image.


Here is the completed painted portrait.

Nothing new

Hi folks, not much going on today but I thought i would post a cute photo of our baby Maggie. Why is it they say that dogs look like their owners?

Hey, that's my chair!

Kristen and Chris's Engagement session.

Ok, I am going to try and remember the joke that Chris told me last night. "What happened to the pretzel when he went on vacation?" "He was Assalted!" Well, not what I would call typical Rodney Dangerfield material but I laughed and enjoyed these two very much. Both of them are very engaging and we are looking forward to their upcoming wedding in June. See you there!

Diego's First Communion

This past Saturday was the First Communion of our Godson Diego Farinha of San Jose, CA We truly enjoyed being with him on his special day and also the opportunity to record some special memories for his family. Here are a couple of pictures of this very special young man!

Always the ham for the camera!

He might be shorter than the others but he sure gets the girls attention!
