Whale Watchin'

I took my two sons on a whale watch a couple years ago, not knowing that Oliver (age 3 at the time) was legally blind. He could see a foot in front of him and that's about it. Poor little guy couldn't see all the beautiful whales and the feeding frenzy we witnessed that day. But he still pointed and smiled with the rest of us. Since he got his glasses I've been making an effort to show him all the beautiful things he didn't really "see" before -- things we thought he was seeing like the animals at the zoo, rainbows and whales. So Summer 2014 is kicking off with a whale watch! 

   

HAPPY SUMMER EVERYONE! Hope you see and do everything you hope to. 

   

Good-bye Spring. Hello Summer!

New work for Family Fun!

Ollie's garden!

So you didn't think you had to watch Ollie's 'Gardening Tips' series huh. You might want to rethink that. THIS is the lettuce he grew in his garden. It's twice the size of mine. And yours too probably.

New work.

Lots more to come. Happy June!

Scouting GREEN GRASS

Hey so I need a yard to shoot in next week. We have this awesome assignment for FamilyFun magazine. We're looking for a nice, suburban yard, with a nice driveway (maybe nice garage doors, that kind of thing) and an uncluttered backyard with flat areas of green grass for playing games. There's another game that needs to be played on the driveway. There's a little money to be made here if you can let us take over your backyard May 15th or 16th. Email me pics or post here asap. Thanks a bunch!

Welcome Spring!

My two sons and I are going to sell our very own vegetable and flower seedlings in a couple weeks to raise money for their Boston public school. The four year old helped me sow the seeds, throw dirt at the cat, and sing to the seeds and my six year old is in charge of advertising - here's his first poster. 

   

Animals, grown-ups, shoes and now food?

[ new work for FAMILY FUN MAGAZINE ] I've been shooting a lot more than just kids lately: animals, grown ups, shoes and now food? What's next, cars?  
   

A couple more tearsheets.
