McCreary Family Portraits

I had the shot in my head weeks before the shoot. Dave playing his guitar like the crazy man he is and his family looking on in bored disbelief. Now I just had to convince them. I’ve know the McCreary family for several years now. We go to the same church – the South Weymouth…

Lily Challenge – Final Entry

  It is with much regret – as well as many well-intended pleas – that the Lily Challenge has come to an end. The first couple of days after it was over, it was a weird feeling not to "have" to take a picture of Lily. But don’t worry, I won’t ever stop. Promise. I…

Lily Challenge – Week IV

I can’t tell you how many emails, Facebook messages, and direct requests I’ve had to keep the Lily Challenge going after the end of March. As much as I’d love to and as much as I appreciate the many kind words you have all sent my way, the Lily Challenge will end in two days….

Lily Challenge – Week III

I’ve made it through another week of the Lily challenge! I guess since I’ve done it for 21 days straight, it is officially a habit. At least that’s what I remember being taught a long time ago. The best part of this week was celebrating Lily’s first birthday. Dorothy and I really can’t believe she’s…

Lily’s First Birthday

A year ago today, our lives changed forever. At 6:45 a.m. on Thursday, March 19, Dorothy gave birth to our daughter Lily Grace Turner. Our lives haven’t been the same since. We’ve had so much more joy, so much more love, and so much more laughter each and every day. Lily has a smile that…

Lily Challenge – Week II

Week 2 has already come and gone! I can’t believe it!  Even more, I can’t believe I still haven’t missed a day.  Don’t worry though – there’s still 17 more days for me to miss… Here’s a look back at week 2 in the challenge. Day 8 – Look!! This photo was taken at Dorothy’s…

Lily Challenge – Week 1

   One week down in the Lily Challenge!  In case you missed my previous blog, the short and sweet version is that I’m taking pictures of Lily every day this month and posting one per day on my Facebook page and then adding them to my blog once a week.  Working on discipline.  Who knows…after…

2009 in Review – Part V

    For our next to last installment of our review of 2009, I thought I’d share my favorite engagement photos with you. For me, engagement sessions can be a whole lot of fun. They’re really a "getting to know your photographer" session more than anything. And because there aren’t 200 or so guests waiting…

A Daughter, her Dad, and Discipline

 My life changed forever on March 19, 2009.  Our daughter, Lily Grace Turner, was born at 6:45 a.m. that morning.  She was the first (and still is) the only grandchild on either side of Dorothy’s  and my families.  Without a doubt, she’s my favorite photography subject.  Yup, I picked a favorite.  Deal. Now to completely…

Five days – no internet.

  Most people these days (myself included) would look at the title of this blog and immediately go into panic mode.  Generally, I would too.  And I think I was pretty close to being there last Tuesday when I realized I would be without the internet the rest of the week.  I was pretty convinced…
