Salute to a Soldier

A friend and coworker of Jeff's found out recently that he will be deployed in the fall. He will be going to Afghanistan and will be there for quite some time. Devin and his wife have had a 1969 Coronet Super Bee for nearly 10 years, yet, haven't found the time and money to make their dream come true. A group of his friends got together and "stole" his car to overhaul it for him. They had several people contribute time and money to the effort and the result was incredible. The car turned out fantastic, inside and out, front to back, it is amazing! After an extremely long two weeks (for the build team and Devin), the car was revealed to Devin on Saturday night. Here are a few shots of the car.







Along with the reveal of the car, I decided to create Devin a custom magazine cover featuring his Super Bee. I took the cover picture about 4:30 on Saturday afternoon when the car was finally complete. The reveal was scheduled for about 6pm so you can imagine panic trying to get everything complete!

Lucky Number Seven

The latest addition to our family arrived late last week. This makes a total of seven grandchildren on my side of the family... thus the title: Lucky Number Seven. My younger brother and his wife welcomed a handsome little boy, Zackary. Here are a few snapshots from the hospital, I am hoping to get to their house one day this weekend and take some more "professional" type photos. I haven't had the chance to experiment with newborn photos and I'm ready for my chance. Poor Zackary... he's my little guinea pig!







This weekend I also have the opportunity to go along with a professional friend of mine to take newborn photos. I have really gotten addicted to photography and wish I was better... what better opportunity than to be able to shadow a professional and maybe learn some tricks of the trade!
