The Birth of Lainey Coltman-Slideshow

Here is the video slideshow of Chad and Kelli's birth. Welcome Lainey Coltman!

The Birth of Lainey Coltman

This was an UNBELIEVABLE experience. Chad and Kelli Coltman had their baby Monday night at Hoag Hospital and i had the opportunity and priveldge to photograph the delivery. I was pretty nervous. I would say unless you have a child, you have never witnessed a live birth, and TV and movies don't do it any justice other than frighten you or distort the drama of a birth. Life truly is a miracle. Kelli and Chad were so calm and collected during the delivery and Lainey came out glowing and beautiful.
Thank you two so much for giving me a chance to do this. I can't wait to do it again.

The Murphy Fam, the Packers, and some Brats.

I just had a KILLER weekend in Green Bay. My buddy Troy Murphy who i know from RockHarbor moved to Green Bay and became the chaplain for the Packers, my all time favorite football team. It was life-long goal to go to a game. Well not only did i hit up a game, i was in a warm box seat, away from the -3 degree weather. We all hung out at the Tail Gate Party before, where i met the Mayor, Jim Schmitt, and had some Wild Turkey to stay warm at 9:30 in the morning. It was epic.
The day before i hung out with the Murphy's at their home and then snapped some sweet photos of the fam. Troy has a beautiful family with FOUR girls, all super cute. Thanks Troy for a great weekend. I can't wait to come back.

I drove by a breathtaking snow-covered field with the setting sun in the back that I HAD to get the fam in.


Beautiful Fam. Good job Troy! (and Trish!)


THis is a fun shot, even though its a prototypical "run to the camera" shot...


This is a fun one.


The girls.


I love this shot.








Troy being a stud.


Two of my favorite things. America and the Packers.






The Mayor of Green Bay and I enjoying some morning grub.


FULL stadium, ofcourse!

Wylan at DISNEYLAND!!!!!!!

Wylan is one of the cutest babies i have ever seen. He is even dubbed "Fake Baby" because he is always so docile and smiley. (Donna might disagree with this.) We had a great time at Disneyland walking around snapping tons of fun shots. It was Wylans first time on the tea cups, and on Dumbo. We tried to snap a few on Pinocchios Adventure, but it was way to dark. I pretty much sat alone in my own car and and "enjoyed" the ride. (which is pretty dark and scary i might add...) Wylan was great all day! Later we ate clam chowder together and Brian and I had a chance to hit up Space Mountain. We went on a Tuesday afternoon, and the longest we waited was like 3 minutes on each ride!

Givin' the Sword a tug.


The Carousel was fun. Even though people were looking at me like i was a stalker as i snapped away every time they went by me on the sidelines.




This is my favorite set of shots. Brian is a GREAT Father. i hope to be as loving and fun as him to my son one day.






I get sick just looking at this shot. Tea Cups. Boo.












The Quintessential Christmas Tree shot.




Doesn't everyone remember doing this with their parents???
