Meeting a WWII Pilot in a Vintage B-17 Bomber

As I go through life, I consider myself lucky to meet true American heroes who actually made a difference for our country. One such person is Roy Reid, a highly decorated World War Two veteran and B-17 pilot.

I just happened to be there the day he showed up to take a ride in the Liberty Belle, a restored World War Two Boeing B-17 bomber. To be truthful, we did not talk much, and as he later joked(?), I had that damn camera on him the whole flight. It's true.

On the flight he brought his logbook showing now infamous entries of missions and being shot down at Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941. To learn more about Col. Reid's story, in his own words, listen to this interview from WarBird Radio.

His daughter also shared the trip and I know it is one that she will never forget. This would be the first chapter of the story. There would be more to come with he and his family.

Pregnancy Photos

My friends were very close to having their second child so we got together to commemorate her very large belly. I only say this because the rest of her was so tiny. These were taken about 1 week before little Tyler was born, and Lexi was a real trooper. Click on the photo below to start the slideshow.

Christmas and Birthday Photos for Danielle

Danielle just turned one year old, and wow! is she growing. I have known her parents, Josh and Michelle for a long time, and we came up with a plan to take photos of "Dani" indefinitely for many years to come. Children grow so much the first few years that it is important to document them at this time. Everyday is an adventure through their eyes.

We took some photos of of her birthday outfit and Christmas dress. She was a real trooper hanging in there for a long time for a small child. Her father, Josh, deserves an Oscar for "Best Comedic Performance" because he made a fool out of himself trying to get Dani to smile. I think it worked.

Check out Danielle in her First Birthday Gallery here.

Chilly Holiday Photos

I met my nephew and his family early one morning in Town Center in Virginia Beach, Virginia for some quick photos for their holiday cards. The weather had been pleasant until that morning when chilly winds started blowing hard enough to make me feel like my jacket had a hole in it. We were all cold so we cut the session down to just a few moments. Brrr....

Digital Doctoring on a Corporate head Shot

Recently I was asked by a client to retouch a corporate headshot photo that I took of her. I usually touch up minor skin blemishes and fly-away hairs, but this request was more than that. She told me that in the past year she had suffered severe medical issues resulting in a weight gain that she was uncomfortable with. I can relate.

When I get such requests, I have no problem tweaking the image to make them happy... after all it's their face and a lot cheaper than plastic surgery. We all just want to look good.
