family portrait

not often we're all together and sitting still, so i grabbed a family portrait ... the ole "Hail Mary"

i love you ... bye

jenna learning new words just about every day ...

a good day

after playing in the snow until we couldn't feel our fingers or toes jack and i sat next to the fire ... drank hot cocoa and watched a christmas movie on the mac (thanks rob). a good day!

here comes santa claus

a little late getting this up here, but the bosch's went to see santa last weekend - jack was pretty pumped up about it. we practiced sitting on daddy's lap a few days before so he would be up to the task. when asked jack said he wanted "big cars, big trucks and suckers ... lots and lots of suckers" jenna immediately tried to jump out of his lap right after she got a good look at him ... a little early for her i suppose. merry christmas everyone ... and a happy new year!

what i've been doing

a co-worker saw me in the hallway today and said "bryan! where've been!?" people never get used to the idea of photographers actually going somewhere to take pictures. last week i photographed airport volleyball as they lost (unexpectedly) in the state quarterfinal match. the star player (pictured) fell down to her knees and let out a heart-wrenching scream/yell. i felt her pain and got a little chocked up myself. shot a rehearsal tonight for the nutcracker - simple foot photo, but i like it. the week before i met laura, she turned 100 on the 13th. i can not tell you how many 100-year-olds i've photographed while at the evening news. too many to count. i think that's pretty amazing, so many that i can't count them all.

lost in leaves

wasn't it 40 degrees on Tuesday? what the??? today it at least 65. spent the afternoon raking and playing in the leaves - i loved that when i was kid. well, the playing in the leaves part anyway.

jenna

after trick-or-treating downtown grand haven i made jenna sit for a portrait in her costume
