A few of Daddy's favorite things

This being my first post on the "family" blog, I thought I might start off with some comma splices, a few miss-spellings and many poorly worded sentences. So you don't expect much. Some of my favorite things are in my workshop. I have many power tools which provide hours of frustration and dashed hopes. I have better luck repairing cars. Outside of the shop, I am an avid hunter, focusing all of my activity on the elusive orange-speckled clay targetist (I shoot skeet). By far my favoritest hobby (and the only one I can currently afford) is photography. Today, Christmas came early in the form of a used set of studio strobes. Out of the box, I am impressed with the quality.
Here are some impromptu shots of Kiera and Jenn in front of the tree:

For comparrison, here is a shot without the strobes followed by the same shot with the strobes:





I still need to practice, so bring over your family, your pets, a blank CD and anything that might work as a backdrop.

I LOVE the picture of Jenn hugging Kiera... that one is destined for a frame! Or at least a scrapbook layout.

Great job Kevin... I can't wait to see more of your work. I need something like that too - I just did my first "professional" shoot for a family, and the lighting could have been better.
