The Longest Day - WPPI Video
Happy New Year everyone!
Some of the wedding photographers that I admire and strive to learn from were recently involved in a 24 hour challenge to create an online reality video for and about photographers. This reality show is the “appetizer”, if you may, for the 2009 WPPI(Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) Convention and Trade Show.
There were 24 photographers who were split into 2 teams, each representing a different charity. The charities are Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep and ThirstRelief. The goal was to make a short film on photography and include a public service announcment for the charity. These shows will be voted on and the winning production will earn $3000 for the charity it represents, while the other production will win $2000 for its charity.
If you want to know more details please visit F-Stop Beyond. Ron Dawson, professional videographer, is the creator of this reality series.

David, Karen, & Family
I've had the privilege of taking the family pictures for David and Karen for three years now which means I've been able to watch the boys grow up. In fact, when we started together, the youngest wasn't even born yet. This fun family is full of energy and playfulness.
David is an expert in sound, mixing and editing and such. Karen is a realtor with Keller Williams.
I love hanging out with this family!
Here are some of my favorite pictures from the day.
Their oldest boy is also a bit of a ham around the camera and really enjoys coming up with poses. "Does this look good?"
He now has his younger brother doing it too.
What photo session would be complete without a campfire scene?
The youngest still isn't quite sure about the camera, though he is so photogenic.
And their daughter is a joy to know. She loves to work with children and also volunteers quite regularly for The JESUS Film Project

Wanda
Wanda is one of my best friends, and I had the privilege of taking some pictures of her for her to use for a magnet for those who support her ministry. She is on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ, specifically working with The JESUS Film Project as the lady in charge of tours. Wanda is a lot of fun and has a knack for making folks feel like friends from the moment she meets them.
Here are some of my favorite pictures from the day.
This one is my favorite, and is the one she ended up picking for her magnet. It somehow caputres her personality in a way the others don't.

Linnea A
Linnea lives in Ohio, and has been dreaming of having her senior pictures taken at the beach. In fact, she is really an Ohio beach girl at heart, if there is such a thing. Thanks to a family vacation, she was able to have her dream come true.
One thing that made this especially fun to do Linnea's pictures is the fact that her father's name is Leif (pronounced "life"). So A Picture of Life got to take Picture's of Leif's Daughter. Okay, maybe it's not that funny.
Linnea's parents told me that Linnea means "full of life" and I must say that she was very aptly named.
We had the perfect weather at Cocoa Beach the day after Thanksgiving and spent most of our time at Jetty Park. The temperatures were ideal and there were very few people out.
You might be able to guess this from her photos, Linnea loves to act. We had a lot of fun, and she was a natural as a model. She is also quite a people person.
Here are a few highlights from our time at Jetty Park
This was my favorite from Jetty Park. While we were actually on the jetty, there were quite a few people around. One of the guys who was fishing there was teasing Linnea, but she was very good natured about it and didn't get flustered at all.
After we left the park, we went over to Ron Jon's Surf Shop. Linnea has actually spent quite a bit of time at the beach and she does surf. I was glad the employees let us take a few pictures there.
Linnea, you were so much fun to work with! Next time we should go to Hawaii for your photos!
