Portait & Family Photography | Jacob Vorpahl - OneBrightSpot.com — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:54:35 +0000

Jaxson is getting bigger. If you've been following my 365 photos, that's been evident. Like all babies, he's outgrowing his clothes, sometimes at a rapid pace. During Christmas, we were able to visit some friends in North Carolina who b...

365 2012/34 – Advice Jars

Portait & Family Photography | Jacob Vorpahl - OneBrightSpot.com — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:23:10 +0000

Ok, that's a horribly lame title for this photo. "Advice Jars"? I couldn't come up with anything else though. My wife, Sarah, was putting together some table decorations for our friend Janette's wedding shower. A friend of Sarah's gave ...

365 2012/33 – Sleep comfortably

Portait & Family Photography | Jacob Vorpahl - OneBrightSpot.com — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:14:44 +0000

I knew when I decided to do this 365 photo project again, Jaxson would be frequently used. That presented two important bonuses: I get to take a bunch of photos of my son in the first year of his life, and I get an easy out when I eithe...

365 2012/32 – Forget Voting Ages

Jaxson decided he wanted to cast his balot in the Florida Republican Primary. I didn't have the heart to tell him he couldn't because he was too young. Instead, I gave him a crayon, basically holding it for him, and put a napkin in fron...

RANT: Making A Difference

WARNING: Rant with deep thoughts ahead. Navigate carefully.

I have a confession to make: I used to be a police officer. I still am at heart. While I was in the academy, one of the officers who trained us sold shirts for a fundraiser. On the shirt was the phrase "Sheepdog". Sheepdog. That probably doesn't strike fear into the heart of many people. Maybe something like "bear", or "African Scorpion". Nope, it said "Sheepdog", and it said it for good reason.......

I had a few minutes during the day, so I wanted to see what kind of set up I could throw together really quick made up of from my pool of photography gear.I put up a quick shoot through background with a flash behind it (that's how it's...

365 2012/27 – First Roll Over

Portait & Family Photography | Jacob Vorpahl - OneBrightSpot.com — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:41:10 +0000

Occasionally, when I have no business that takes me out of the house during the day, I'll keep Jaxson home with me. It's just really hitting me that he truely isn't going to be as small as he is today, and he's only going to get bigger ...

365 2012/18 – Words Can Hurt

For today's 365 photo, I had a friend of mine named Tyler who I knew was spontaneous and fun-loving enough to help me out on a photo idea I've been wanting to nail.For Christmas, my sister-in-law gave me some intersting band aids in a f...

Today was 'first bike ride of the year' day, which also turned in to 'find all of your bike riding stuff' afternoon. I wanted to grab a shot of me out and about for today, and that meant self posing the camera on top of my Camelbak, hit...
