Disney World 2010 :: Lucky Soda – Iowa Photographers

This trip started as a family vacation that culminated up to a wedding we photographed on Fort Myers Beach, Florida. Goodness it was hard to come back to cold weather. As a person that does not enjoy flying I was ridiculously stressed out having all four of my children along for the ride. The flight actually went super smooth. Absolute no complaints. But I feel our littlest (Clare – 2) had quite the challenge at Disney World. She didn’t want much to do with a stroller and didn’t really care to walk anywhere. We had tantrums mixed with fits of laughter as well as little children’s “ooh’s” and “aaah’s”.  I, myself had not prepared my body for all carrying, walking, standing, waiting, mixed with more waiting and totally paid for it the next day. The kids had a blast though. We hope the kids will have fond memories and forget all about Dad’s heart palpitations and near-cardiac arrest after review of the price for food at the park. $8 for a dinky hot dog? Really?

My Trip to Los Angeles, California :: Lucky Soda – Iowa Photographers

Joey Early and I had an opportunity to spend a weekend in LA. It was incredible. We didn’t sleep. Seriously. We were out there during Halloween and met some incredible people. Met up with Bill over at Richard Photo Lab and he gave us a grand tour of Los Angeles. We ended up spending an afternoon down in a marketplace that felt like we had arrived in Mexico. Great people and some really good food. There was also a visit to Venice Beach where we ran into a commercial photographer for Converse by the name of Michael Khachadoorian. Check him out. Wicked good photography. The whole trip seriously felt like a blur.

Jess & Pat :: Fuji Neopan 400 B&W :: Lucky Soda Iowa Wedding Photographers

All shot by Sarah during the workshop with Jonathan Canlas. A wonderful couple. I’m absolutely blown away with what Sarah captured. There is an image in here that once it was scanned made my heart skip a few beats. Sounds a little silly but there is something about beautiful imagery that shakes my soul. Thank you again Jess and Pat for being our wonderful models for the afternoon.

Thanks again Jonathan Canlas for being who you are. We loved having you out.
