Pix Along The Way

Year number four (for us) in the books at the Ohio State Reformatory (a.k.a. Shawshank Prison) and a good road trip for Isaac, Gideon, and I. I took a different approach to the shoot this year, but still got some classic images of the boys. Special thanks to Brent Watkins and the PPO for your hard work and dedication to hosting this event year in and year out and if you've never taken advantage of this opportunity, you are definitely missing out. Have a great rest of your week!

Happy Mother's day to all the Mom's out there; I hope you're enjoying your day! I can't believe she is a senior already, but Eden's year came and went super fast! Thanks to the Clinton Humane Society for allowing us to photograph on her stomping ground.
