I was very happy to be asked to photograph the Louisville Science Center’s annual fundraising Gala again this year.  It was so much fun last year, and this year definitely didn’t fail to live up to expectations.  They always work hard to make sure that it is not only a very classy and prestigious event, but also a lot of fun.  With hands-on science experiments throughout the museum, both a jazz lounge and a dance band, silent auction, fabulous food and drinks, this is a definite must attend event.  And for a great cause too!  I am always thrilled to work with the Science Center.  I do a lot of weddings there as well, and it is just an all around great facility for fun weddings, receptions, and events.

I am so behind on my blogging it is shameful. This fall has been INSANELY busy for me, but that is a wonderful thing! I have so many beautiful weddings and engagements that I will have up soon, but I had to do a quick post to share the incredible experience I had today.

I was contacted late last week inquiring about availability for a VIP event today. It turned out that the VIP was the First Lady, Laura Bush, who was scheduled to visit Lincoln’s Birthplace National Historic Site. The National Parks Foundation, in partnership with The History Channel’s Save Our History Campaign, kicked off a fundraiser event called “Give a Lincoln for Lincoln” to raise money for Lincoln related historic sites and in conjunction with the upcoming Lincoln bicentennial. (That’s a lot of Lincolns for one sentence!)

I was pleased to pass the Secret Service’s muster, and was granted all access during the event. I had a special Secret Service pin, as opposed to a regular press pass.  I was allowed to shadow the White House photographer, which meant I got to be much closer and have more access than the other media. It was really amazing; I got to walk right along with her as she toured the park and participated in several activities with local schoolchildren. I felt like a VIP myself!

Here are a few photos from the day that I wanted to share. It really was an incredible experience, and I am so grateful I was asked to be involved!

(Oh, and to those who know me, don’t worry, I haven’t turned republican on ya

Just a couple from the 4th of July George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic concert down on the waterfront last week. I’ve got several more great shots and some good ones of JJ Grey and Mofro too, but I’ll have to get to those later. I’m so behind on my blogging! I’ve had a wedding pretty much every weekend for the last 2.5 months, so I’ve got a lot of catching up to do. I’ve got the next 2 weeks off, so look for several posts and lots of new pics coming soon.

I just realized that it has been over a month since I’ve posted–hope somebody is still out there! For way too long, I have been neglecting my website in favor of posting new photos from each shoot on this blog. This past month or so, that trend has pretty much reversed–my new website is finally live!!! (well, it’s not finished, but IT’S LIVE!!) I’m still building the galleries and getting all the info up, but I figured that having an unfinished new website that more accurately reflects my current style was better than having a site up that reflected what I was doing, oh, about 3 years ago, ya know?

So I’ve definitely been keeping busy, even though I haven’t been active here. Along with the usual craziness, I had the most fabulous time last week at OSP Indy, a 3 day workshop in Indianapolis. OSP is the most amazing forum on the web, full of the most talented rockstar photographers in the country (and elsewhere!), who also happen to have the most incredible generous giving spirits I’ve ever come across. I owe so much to my friends there for how much my business has grown over the past couple of years, and also how I’ve grown, learned, and challenged myself as a photographer.

As an example of how wonderful these people are–I had a bit of an accident last night (understatement) and broke my workhorse lens–it fell on a brick floor out of my bag. And I’ve got a wedding this weekend. And Murphy’s has already rented their comparable lens for that day. And the repair shop has a 6-8 week backlog (#%$#%#!!). So as I’m considering what to do in a state of near panic, I posted for some opinions on OSP. Within minutes, I had so many responses and suggestions, and incredibly, 2 people who I’ve only “met” online offered to let me borrow their similar lens for my wedding this weekend. Does it get more amazing than that?? People are really, really good. Photographer people anyway Just kidding.

But anyway, thanks also to my good friend Ryan for listening to me wail about it today and chauffeuring me around town to camera shops to consider my options. Long story short, my fancy new lens will be here tomorrow, and my old lens will hopefully be fixed in 6-8 weeks (@#$@%#@$@#$!!!). I’m actually coming out ahead lens-wise, so all is well that ends well, as usual (although my pocketbook is a bit lighter…).

Enough chatter, on to some pictures! The following is just a sampling from what I shot in Indy. Man, what a blast we had! I heart my OSP peeps!!!

Oh, and GO CHECK OUT MY NEW WEBSITE AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!! Comments always make my day

I’ve had the kids out the state fair twice so far, but we haven’t made it to the midway yet. We plan on going back later this week and letting WC ride a few rides, so I should have more pics later on. On Thursday, I was thrilled to run into Geri, Jenny, Markie and Mike, and all the associated kiddos and grandkiddos. Wesley was so happy to have other little kids to run around with. He didn’t stop talking the whole time I think, which is typical. Geri was walking along holding his hand, and she kept looking back at me, laughing, and making that “chatterbox” motion with her hand

Here are a few cute shots of the kids. I’ve been experimenting with some new color effects I just got, so the color in some of them is over the top, I know. But I was just playing around for learning purposes, and they don’t have to be perfect. The kids are cute enough as is.

Adeline was having fun petting the goat, until she realized that he was eating her hair ribbon!
