With the kids away at Grandma’s, I’ve been shooting a lot of portraits lately. This is my friend, neighbor and fellow photographer, Terri Vruggink, making her 2nd appearance on the site. The last time she was featured, she’d recently returned from Haiti while shooting for a non-profit. However, the earthquake hit while she was there and the story changed. Her work from that experience will be on display at Fountain Street Church during this year’s ArtPrize. Don’t miss it.

How to Remove Bugs From a Windshield
How to Remove Bugs From a Windshield
I was shooting detail shots of a truck, and I was about to clean the windshield when a grasshopper jumped on the glass. I think he’s making fun of me.

Tom & Ellie
Tom & Ellie
These are my friends, Tom and Ellie, who are recently engaged. They asked if I’d take their picture so they’d have an official engagement photo. You see, Tom and Ellie ride and race bikes as much as I do, so their pictures always feature some form of Lycra. This was a nice change.

I was shooting portraits today and I ended up at Founders after. (surprise) I had a lot of nice shots, but this is a favorite and it wasn’t even planned.

How does your garden grow?

With all the rain we’ve been getting, it grows very well.

Unlike last year when hardly anything grew, this year’s garden is much more encouraging.

The best part of living in a small town where everything is within walking distance is sending the boys to the library. It’s only a mile a way, and they love the walk. Then they walk through town to stop at Mary Anne’s and buy candy for the walk back. The best part is the 3 hours of silence that I have in the house while they are gone.

I’m not a fan of the Ripstik but Cam loves it – that is until he crashes.

Ever since living in Colorado this is the vehicle I want to drive. I make sure to walk by it quickly since it’s not polite to stare.

Ducks Don’t Speak English
Ducks Don’t Speak English
Luke can tell a story. He’s very animated, and has great comedic timing. Most of the time he has his head in the clouds, but really I think he’s working on his stand-up routine.

The Last Game of Season
The Last Game of Season
We’ve been playing baseball or t-ball since April. It’s safe to say I’m happy the season is over.

Karl is a professional cyclist who rides for the United Healthcare team out of California. He’s originally from Tasmania but now lives in Grand Rapids. Usually Grand Rapids doesn’t draw athletes here because of the brutal winter. He’s a good guy and now considered a local. This race (Grand Cycling Classic) is probably the only race he doesn’t have to travel to short of riding his bike to the start.

Some days you just want to jump in the pool to cool off. Other days you want to jump in the pool through a kids swim ring.

I really wanted a creative portrait for our 17th wedding anniversary. Yep, this will do fine.
