Marley

Today I had a photo session with a really cool teenager named Marley. Here are two images I really liked. These don't show it, but she has a great smile which shows in some of the other pics. These two are the only ones I had time to process.





Thanks for looking!

Karate Portraits

I am now doing portraits in a local karate dojo my daughter goes to, Bakersfield Budo. The instructors are really great with kids and offer classes for both kids and adults. If you are looking for something to keep the kids busy, especially with summer coming up, they are really worth checking out.

These are some of the images I from those sessions.















This one was a tough subject, he only had one expression!


Thanks for looking.
That's it for now.

Zombie Prom

My son Chris had been working very hard, along with a lot of other kids, on the Bakersfield High School production of Zombie Prom. Those kids put in countless hours on everything to put it on, along with having to keep up with their other responsibilities.

I went to see the play on Friday and have to say it was great!





























Thanks for looking.

Relay for Life

I was out at Relay for Life Bakersfield with my son's youth group at St. Philip's, EDGE.

The kids did a great job raising money which helped the Bakersfield Relay for Life event raise more money than any other Relay for Life.

I was able to capture some of the days events. And as a survivor myself, was glad to be a part of the event.

Survivors wore purple shirts. There sure is a
lot of purple in there.

The National Anthem was sung by a woman
with an inspiring survival story.


There were even Super Heroes on
hand for the battle



As night fell, the Luminaria Ceremony took
place.









That's all for now!
