Re-post! So you have probably already seen the photos below. That’s because this is a repost of those. I’m still working on a few things for the new blog here so bear with me as it’s a little different from the setup I’ve had for the past three or four years.

NOTICE Internet Explorer Users:
The navigation at the top is not as broken as it may seem. There is an issue with some code overlap that should be fixed sometime on Monday. My buddy that put this whole new design together isn’t able to get to it until then. This may be the kick in the pants you needed to switch to Firefox! :)
Anyway, in order to use the navigation, instead of mousing over the textual menu items, move your mouse up directly over them almost to the top of the website before you get to the gray areas of your browser window. The little lights will twinkle and you’ll be set until it’s all fixed come Monday.

For Christmas last year my siblings and I gave my mom a trip to Lexington, Virginia with all her kids. We haven’t all been there at the same time since 1997 which was sadly for my granny’s funeral. Before that, I’m not sure how long it had been. When we were little kids, we’d go up at least once a year if not more to visit my granny. Below are a handful of my favorites from the trip…

A few shops in town.

My nephew Garrett is identical to my brother at this age. I need to post some scans.

The door to “Stonewall” Jackson’s house. This is the house that my mom was born in. I think that’s pretty cool.

This is the steeple to the Presbyterian church. It’s my mom’s church that she went to growing up. Sadly, it burned a couple of years ago and has since been rebuilt. It’s really quite pretty.

“Stonewall” Jackson’s grave. My grandmother & grandfather are buried in this beautiful cemetery. It so peaceful and interesting to see so many very old graves. Many Civil War veterans are buried here as well.

This is a miniaturized view of the pancake joint where we had breakfast. It was right across from the hotel. Nothing special, but it’s fun to make things into models sometimes.

My sister-in-law, fiancee & sister all climbed to the top of the half pipe to hang out while I snapped up a million shots of my nephews skating.

Gaige (nephew) dropping in on the monster half pipe. I think it was about 8-10 feet from the ground to the coping. He’s pretty awesome.

And the of course there is a group shot of the whole fam-damnly. here we are at Goshen thanks to the trusty tripod.

I’ll have more messages for you tomorrow to be sure.

Hello folks. I’m upgrading my site. It should be back online in the next day or so. Sorry for the interruption, but thanks for your patience.  Everything may look a little off if you are using Internet Explorer.  Firefox is much better, but mister designer will be bringing everything up to full browser compatibility soon.  Again, thanks for your patience.

News first…tomorrow you may notice a change or two around here. I am not expecting any real downtime, but there may be a period of funky business with the blog and the website. Once the new site is up, I’ll dedicate a full post to it. In the meantime, I’ve got a few photos from this past weekend.

I recently had the pleasure of shooting a wedding for a friend of mine with a friend of mine. It was in a beautiful little wedding chapel in Mt. Pleasant. I had no idea the place even existed. Lee is a very fun person and really makes the job of photographing her easy. Here are a few of my favorites. I’m sure a slide show will be up shortly once I get with Dave for the rest of the photos.
