June 18 - Greg Jennings Foundation Camp

Here comes a series of out of order post dates. A lot has been happening since I last posted on June 9th! For example, last Saturday Jonny and myself had the privilege of shooting photo and video for an all day football and cheer camp put on by Greg Jennings and his wife Nicole, both awesome people.

I've been following Greg since I saw him play High School basketball against Benton Harbor in 2000 (he went to K Central); then while attending WMU, I followed his accomplishments and have been thrilled to see him become so successful and so grounded while doing amazing work as a wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers in the NFL. We were able to have a great conversation at the end of the day and I walked away with an even better view of him than I had prior to the event.  I have lots of photos from this day but here is one I particularly liked. 

July 9 - MAA Graduation

Last night we shot the Michigan Avenue Academy graduation ceremony. Had an awesome time, a lot of these people I have gotten to know through sub teaching and such, so it was great to see them come through and finish.

June 6th - Page and Josh pt 2

Here's another from yesterday.

June 5th - Josh and Page Engagement

There are two couples that I absolutely love that are getting married on July 2nd.
One of these two couples are Amelia and Josh, of which I did some photo work for last fall and a great time was had by all, well except Amelia. just kidding.

The other couple is Page and Josh. Page and I grew up in the same small town and ran into each other this winter at the South Bend Chocolate Cafe in St. Joe. At that point I had just brought my man Keegan Adriance on board to Rhino and, since I was already booked for a Amelia and Josh's wedding in Traverse City that day, I pitched the idea of having Rhino Media do her wedding with Keegan doing all the photo work. Thankfully she thought it was a spendid idea!
As bummed as I am that I can't be there for their wedding, I had an awesome time doing an engagement photo session with them tonight.
Here's just one of many to come.

June 2nd - the grill-out

My wife, brother in law and brother in law girlfriend all had a good old American time.

June 1 - the studio

This shot embodies what I would say as the biggest waste of our time that we've experienced in 2011.
No further details, let's just say - lesson learned.

May 31 - audio recording

So we are taking our audio up a few notches for some projects lately. Yesterday, Jonny and I went to Western Sound Studios to record his wonderful speaking voice in a more civilized manner.
and another shot of the Saniwax building, where the park trades center now resides.

May 30 - saniwax building

So sometimes I just take pictures of the building where we operate.
