Test 123

My first blog from the new iPhone 3G. The free typepad app is snazzy...along with about a hundred other apps from the new iPhone app store.

On another note, I'm about half way done with the 2007 wedding season. I'm a loser for posting so little, but things are insane busy. We have numerous sessions to blog everyday though, so perhaps I need to start that back up.

Lastly, Trager is getting all grown up. Here's a pic. Test 123

Kelly + Jarod: Wedding

A few bride/groom portrait sneak peeks...for all you photog buffs, the first is lit with a strobe off camera's right side, sun lighting the flowers, and reflecter off to the left creating the kicker light.

Trip to the....Zoo

A few Friday's ago Julie, Trager, and I went to St. Louis and met dear friends Ben, Michelle, and Caden at the Zoo. If you've never been to the St. Louis Zoo you really should go...voted by Parenting Magazine as the #1 Zoo in America, no joking. Caden and Trager are less than two days apart, and it's a complete delight watching these two take in the world. Pics....

Mr. Caden, strapped in, ready to roll.
