Little Katie's Baptism

This weekend I attended my little niece Katie's Baptism at our local Little Flower Church. Ofcourse since I am the budding "Uncle Bob" photographer for the family, I was asked to come along as the official photographer. Someone compared my job for the day to that of the "cousin with a truck" who is always asked to come help on moving day. But atleast the "cousin with the truck" and I have something in common, and that is we usually get a free lunch out of the deal. So I obviously won't complain about it! Ofcourse, the photography itself is reward enough for the job (most of the time), as kids tend to be the Holy Grail for photography. Here are a few shots from the baptism, along with the after-party.

Summer Time Refreshment

Summertime has officially arrived everybody. I know, without me some of you would still think it was spring or even winter, but lucky for you guys I am here to officially announce the beginning of summer. According to the calender it is still spring, but the calender is absolutely incorrect. Summertime officially starts the first time you open a frosty cold beverage and it's taste is so refreshing that it's like nothing you've ever tasted before. Cold drinks in the summer are way better than any other time, and that's a scientific fact.

Now since I have no particularly interesting summer pics yet, I decide to do an impromptu commercial photoshoot in the living room of my apartment. Now if you've ever done an impromptu photoshoot in your apartment then you have felt my pain, because it is not an easy thing. When "the boss" gets home and finds you using her nice end table as photo prop, things tend to get a bit crazy. But it was worth it! Here is a shot of my very last Woodchuck. Now if you've never had a Woodchuck, then I suggest you try one, especially if you like cider! It has undergone some pretty extensive photoshop, and if you hover over it you can see the original image. The best part of photographing beverages is that you can drink them when you get to the editing stage!
