here is the evolution of a small family photo. i was just setting up the tripod checking the lighting, and looking back at the photos its pretty funny because people show up in the photos kind of one by one, t hen all of a sudden everyone is there...its funny.

this is doogs. i like her yup.

the originals, these are my uncles and aunt, and my grand parents. merv and dennis are holding hands, who would''ve thought you'd see that on the internet. oh silly brothers.

Here we are!! this is the crew, all 50 or so of us!

lil Mack

This is malachai, my cousin ben who is about 6 months younger then me made this baby with his wife... they make good babies.

Lance and Elijah

i like this picture because it looks kind of oldschool, just a random candid.

Aimee and Elijah? i'm not sure...

This is Eva and brother in law Lance

This is my beautiful sister aimee and my niece Eva. they're both gorgeous.

there's something about the love of a family that really bids people together. this is my brother steve, giving my mom a hug. steve joined our family when he was 16. i was 11. he's been a part of our family ever since. i always prayed for a younger brother, then i got an older one. thanksgiving this year has really reminded me just how amazing my family is. i love you man.

we were sitting outside eating our ice cream and we saw this girl playing with this blocks on chains, swinging them around. courtney wanted to go try them - so we all dared her too. she went up to the girl and asked her if she could try, - turns out these blocks are supposed to be on fire... oh well, looks like she's having a good time,

the crew - from left to right - honorary cousin jessica, lando, honorary cousin chris (jess' husband), aundre, doogie, cousin russ and his wife joy.

ok where to start? lets start here, back in August. my whole extended family (about 300 of us) went up to whistler to all meet up and reunite. doogie came along. here are a few shots from a trip to the fudge shop. mmmhm.

more kids... this is Anna, she is my brothers daughter, she's pretty rad, here she joined me on the couch for naptime at grandma and grandpas. napping is one of my favourite pastimes at this grandma and grandpas house, nice and relaxing.

doogs and aundre just hangin around. My Cousin Russ got married and this is a shot of us inbetween. I think my mom has some pictures of the wedding on her blog. check it out if you like,

soo many babies. My family is growing faster than i every would've imagined. here is my sister aimee and her too little babes - Elijah and Eva. I'm not sure who is who in this picture. I like to think that it's Eva who is crying and screaming (cause thats what girls do) and Elijah is just sleepin - chillin and relaxin, cause thats how we roll. holla.

same light, from direct. again, no editing

this is sunlight. i didn't edit this picture at all. cool eh?

so my company did a big production this last weekend - for a freshfire ministries conference. we provided all the production and lighting. on saturday a band called 'kids in the way' performed. here are a few fun shots from that.

look mom, i can climb!

she also throws balls at me and my camera. sigh.

this is a fun one. doogie jumps. a lot.

so, i'm finally using my camera again. this is up on the ol' eagle mountain... some park, with some friend, some summer night. you know, the stuff that makes life worth it. i love sun spots in the lens. makes me feel like there's more depth then what we see with our eyes,

so, for those of you who know doogie and aundre, you may be familiar with this. an excited doogie thinking that she can beat up aundre. she thinks its funny, i think of it more as abusive. anyways, pray for me ok?

megs, matthew - who is single, megs is workin it i think... - and doogie.

doogs - you got a lil shmutz on your shoe there...

i even found this amazing cowboy hat made of paper! it was free! they were handing them out in these dispensers in the american bathrooms! thanks america!

this is when we went to see matt wertz and dave barnes - to lovely singers. this is doogie and her sister megs. we had a lovely trip.

checking out the pics on the camera,

rapper pose.

aundre and doogie.

courtesy of a wonderful photographer who rides co-pilot in my passenger seat from time to time. this was when we were on our way to see the fireworks on the 4th with doogie and her friend danielle. it was a B-last.

Here is a thing from an old bible assignment i did in highschool. I did 20 or so pages similar to this one. I was supposed to write an essay, but didn't feel like it. - too ADHD. So made a 'creative' essay. heck yes.

This is my sister aimee. She is gorgeous. She is also currently bigger than a house. She's goign to have twins. in 2 days. (its not her due date, but guess) June 3rd is my prediction. This is a picture of her on the weekend she told me that i was going to be an uncle to their kidio. i'm pumped!

ok, so first thing is first. - we are not going to go over the fact that i haven't blogged in almost a month. I have 3 pictures for you to enjoy. I like the texture in this one. caught this on a walk around mill lake.
