Skatepark

Alison, Kiran and I decided to take photos at the Midland Skate Park. We had so much fun and the kids were really excited to have their pictures taken! I'd love to go back and shoot at night with all the lights on. I think that is our next shoot~






















East Indian Dance Recital

These are photos from my friend Kiran's Recital. It was wonderful! The costumes were so colorful and beautiful. Kiran sang at the recital.


















Water Drops

Thanks to my friend Kiran, I shot these water photos. He is the photography master!!!!!

Thank you to my friend Mark for taking Evan and I up in the balloon on Easter Sunday!

















I took a 2 day workshop with Preston Jones at the Alden B. Dow Home on May 2, 2009. It was so much fun! We were all over the place (climbing the chimney, on the roof......).

This project was in the works for the last couple of months of class. We had to do a 15-20 minute presentation that consisted of 30-40 images. With the help of my friend Kiran, the idea for my project was born.

I made a new friend while doing this assignment. I really wanted to capture the launch of a hot air balloon for the air and fire component. I was in contact with Mark from Saginaw who is a hot air balloon pilot. The first try was too windy so he inflated (I learned rather quickly not to use the words 'blew up' LOL) the balloon for me while it was tethered so I could take pictures. The second try (Easter Sunday), was successful and he was kind enough to let my son Evan and I ride along. The balloon that I shot from the air was another person's balloon.
