Murphy's Law

Hi friends,
Like most of you, we are getting back to a school routine after being lazy for two weeks.  The first morning was a little iffy.  While the boys consistently woke up at 6:30 during vacation (yawn!), they were still asleep when the alarm went off for school on Tuesday! Seriously! I'm thinkin' I don't heart Murphy or his stupid Law. ;)

Friday morning marks the first of many Photography Workshops and I am so excited!  Workshops will continue in February and March, including the following new class: 

This two-part workshop starts on-location where you will take photos in manual mode of various subjects all while getting hands-on attention with your camera and settings.  A model will be provided as well as a scenic location for landscape shots.  During the second day of the workshop student photos will be critiqued to help further enhance photography skills. Topics such as shutter speed, aperture, ISO, depth of field, lighting and composition will be re-visited. 

Having your work critiqued is one of the best ways to learn. It's something I did when I started, and still continue to do today.  You never stop learning or improving in this art!

On to the reason for this post.  The Nicosia family!  I believe it's a rare occurrence when you meet someone who makes you feel instantly at ease; someone who brings out the best in you.  This family is just awesome!  The kids are respectful, everyone cooperated and they are such a genuinely happy family...all that happiness rubs off on you! :)  Most dads rather be doing anything but a photoshoot.  The best compliment ever was learning that Todd was actually surprised when it was over because he was having so much fun! Here are some portraits of our time together...
