Christmas Tree 2009

Well, it’s that time of year again and this year I thought I’d put up a little something of us decorating our tree. Check out the little video below and be sure to read the captions of the photos (all captions are below the photos). Enjoy.

We don’t really have a “mantle” so to speak, so our TV stand is going to have to do to hang up those stockings.

Some Things You Missed

Here’s a few things you’ve missed:

That day I made my her laugh

That one really late night

That place we used to live

That day we moved

That day I finally fit

That time we were small

That other time we were small

The day we played with friends

That day we got away

That night we just relaxed

That day at the beach

That day we picked a winner (or two)

Oh, The Joys of Weddings

I couldn’t resist. Hopefully this shot doesn’t work against me…no really, I have ones where they’re smiling too! “She’ll love it when she’s older.” – Quote from the mom immediately after I took this shot.

Hear, See, and Do – #11

HEAR: “The Meaning of Justification” By My Pastor, Scott Ardavanis
[audio:http://placeritachurch.com/home/140005082/140005082/audio/The%20Meaning%20of%20Justification.mp3]
I really do sit under some incredible teaching every week. Our pastor has preached on this subject before, but every time I hear it I’m reminded just how important justification really is. Click the play button above to listen to the sermon or go here.

SEE: “Autumn Scenes” on The Big Picture

If you’re not regularly reading and seeing The Big Picture, make sure and add it to your RSS reader. The photos they put together are fabulous (and not to mention HUGE) and I find that it regularly gives me a little overview of what’s going on around the world. This week they put together a set of photos called “autumn scenes” that just really bring out the full colors of fall. Definitely take a few minutes to browse through these beautiful images.

DO: Get Out and See Toy Story 1 & 2 in 3D!
We went last weekend and it was well worth it! Both movies are fabulous and are pretty much becoming Disney classics, and the way Disney has put together the whole two film thing is great. We’re talking two movies for the price of one! The glasses are comfy (and will fit over any regular glasses) and the films are hilarious–even if it’s your third or fourth time seeing them. We had the luxury of seeing them at the ArcLight theater (I even got a hot dog delivered to my seat), but if you don’t have one of those nearby I’m sure your favorite theater will do. There’s only 6 days left to see em’ so hurry up!

Had a little fun this evening with a friend’s 1967 Volvo. He’s trying to sell it, so we figured we’d make it look classy…not sure if the classiness came out, but we got some shots I’m digging.

For Me, Wedding Season Just Started

No Comments on For Me, Wedding Season Just Started

I’m trying to crunch through all the weddings I’ve been shooting of late and I’m honestly a little behind. But as I was making an initial glance at the most recent wedding I shot, these two images just kind of popped out at me. For the photos nerds, these are basically straight out of camera (and for the non-photo nerd, that just means I did something right).

All In The Family

Family

One of the great pleasures of doing photography is the time I get to spend with friends and families. Over the past few years I’ve been doing family portraits for various seasons and occasions, and I wanted to share some of them with you. For those of you who have been to my portfolio site, some of these you will have already seen, but there’s definitely a lot of unpublished shots in this batch.

:: warning: “shaymless” self-promotion below ::

Come September I will begin to schedule family portraits for Christmas cards and holiday events, and I would love to photograph your family. I try to keep my sessions short and to the point and I definitely try to make it fun for the whole family. Feel free to contact me at shay[at]shaythomason[dot]com and let’s get together and make some memories. Until then, enjoy these from my past clients:
