JOHN - So as everyone probably knows, this is my litle brother Joshua. Joshua is a football freak just like me. He is about to start his long career in this sport. He was so exited the day he got his gear. He actually slept in his gear untill try outs. Before tryouts, he has to practice so he drags out his big brother John to huck some footballs at him. After a while, we have a bunch of kids helping out the "superstar". These extra kids gave Joshua a chalenge and gave me a chance to step away and get my camera. He had played football for a few hours now and was finally getting tired and as a result, he started to get tackled a little more often, and the picture above shows the result of a beaten Joshua.
and this is a result of a well rested superstar.
JOHN- Haha Mom's going to shoot me for this. Well , we were almost done with Jake and Suzannah's after wedding shoot. My mom had this great idea where each of them were going get there favorite ice cream, smash it in eachothers faces, laughs, messiness, and woohoo some great shots. The only problem was that we couldn't find any ice cream shop.  Meanwhile, I wanted to take advantage of the time looking for other funny shots while they kept looking for ice cream stores, "Thanks Mom". I saw an old, dirty, nasty statue of a pig that looked happy for some reason. I didn't know why it looked so happy, but I have this gorgeous bride with me, why not have her come and kiss him on the cheek while her husband smiles unknowingly on the other side. Who wouldnt be happy!
Oh, and we never got the ice cream shot.

JOHN-So this is right after the wedding of Ray and Leiloni. During the wedding, it was raining so we were not able to do anything creative, after the wedding we knew we had to do a second photoshoot.
Sure enough, they want some more shots, and we were proud to take them.
The next day I take Ray and Leiloni to the railroad right by the Truckee River, This was actually the first set of pictures from this shoot. I sit them down and set my camera up. I ONLY WANTED TO GET RAY AND LEILONI IN THE SHOT, but that dang dog wouldnt move, what do know, it turns out to be my favorite shot of the day.
