Way back in August we left Las Vegas and went back “home” to Michigan for a vacation. While we were there, we did portrait sessions with our sons, our nieces and nephews. You know how they always say, “Doctor, Heal Thyself”… well surprisingly I don’t have a lot of photos of our sons! And, when I do take them, I rarely do any post-processing. So, this year I decided to finally do full processing on some photos and give them as gifts to our family.
This series was taken (obviously) on the banks of a river in Michigan… although for this first pic you can’t really see the river!
Out over the river, some selective-coloring done to this one…
Sun was harsh that day and I didn’t bring my entire set-up from Las Vegas so I had to make due… but here’s another of our little one…
Our older one just had braces put on about 2 months prior to this shoot, and of course was a little self-conscious about them, so no luck getting him to smile…
A few days later we went to Jeremy’s parent’s house (an old farm) and got a ton of photos in-and-around their old barn. This was one of my faves…
And this one, too…
Here’s our sons with two of Jeremy’s nieces…
Oh, look for a very special announcement tomorrow!

Jeremy and I recently were asked to be involved in an organization called “Autism Speaks“. It’s a national not-for-profit organization, and (from their website), here’s their cause:
“We are dedicated to funding global biomedical research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and cure for autism; to raising public awareness about autism and its effects on individuals, families, and society; and to bringing hope to all who deal with the hardships of this disorder. We are committed to raising the funds necessary to support these goals.“
When Jenifer from the Texas Station chapel and banquet/reception/meetings department asked us to volunteer our time to Photograph and DJ for this amazing event, we immediately jumped at the chance! I normally don’t brag about the volunteer work that we do for not-for-profit organizations but I wanted to post this to help promote the Walk and also to support Autism Speaks.
A few days before the event, KVBC (the Local NBC affiliate) came to our office, along with Megan and her mom. We met Megan at the kick-off dinner and she aspires to be a radio DJ… so we invited her to be our “guest DJ” during the Walk. Here she is, being interviewed in our office, standing next to one of our smaller DJ setups.

And here’s Megan and her mom during another part of the interview:
Jeremy is going to kill me for posting this one, but here he is being interviewed. According to him, “thank goodness they only used my voice” during the actual news piece that aired the day before the walk!
Here’s a few shots from the Walk itself, my instructions were to get pictures of “people smiling, having fun”.
I also needed to get a shot of Geoffrey from Toys-R-Us, since they are the National Sponsor… here’s him with the local reps!
They had a bounce house, and I was able to sneak this one of this beautiful little girl with AMAZING blue eyes! Look close, see proud daddy in the back?!?
Megan trained with Jeremy for a few hours and was very excited to play for the crowd. This shot was taken just before the walk. What you don’t see is the 1000+ people sitting in the stands at Sam Boyd Stadium… Megan got very interactive, and got the crowd to do the YMCA dance! She was AMAZING! Jeremy commented that even after 18 years of DJing, he still gets nervous in front of really large crowds – Megan took it all in stride!
A posed shot we took for Megan, in her D. Jay’s Entertainment shirt that we gave her as a gift.
It was an absolute honor to be involved with this event and with Autism Speaks. We hope they will allow us to be involved again next year!
