Culver Academy Volleyball Photos: CGA Varsity Volleyball vs. Oregon Davis
This was the second half of the evening with the CGA Varsity Volleyball team hosting Oregon Davis High School at Culver Academy. The games were fun to watch with the teams very well matched. I stayed for three games with the CGA Eagles winning the first game and barely getting beat in the two following games. I’ve posted a few of my favorites here; more photos can be found at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Academy Volleyball Photos: CGA JV Volleyball vs. Oregon Davis
This evening, the CGA JV and Varsity Volleyball teams hosted Oregon Davis. I posted a few of my favorite photos from the JV game. I’ve uploaded more photos at www.culverphotos.com. I didn’t take as many photos of this game because the JV team dominated in the games and quickly won them.
Culver Indiana Children Photographer: Lucy Turns 2
This weekend, Ginny traveled to Indianapolis to help celebrate our niece Lucy’s birthday. While there, she took some pictures at the birthday party. The theme of Lucy’s party was Mickey Mouse. Lucy loves Mickey and Winnie the Pooh. Every time we are there over night, she wants to watch Mickey or Pooh first thing in the morning. It’s like she wakes up thinking about them. Lucy’s friends from next door, Cameron and Mason, attended the party and gave Ginny some great opportunities. She said that she couldn’t resist taking a picture of the girls feeding Lucy’s new doll through the nose!
Kids aren’t easy to shoot, as they are always on the move. Just as you get your picture framed, they will notice something that distracts them and move out of frame in a fraction of a second. Even the fastest of cameras can’t get just the right shot when a child is on the move. Despite this, I think Ginny did a great job of shooting the kids at this party. She took 100s of shots, so I had a hard time choosing a handful for the blog. I also threw one in of Lucy in her new Colts jersey, a birthday gift from her aunt and uncle. Go Colts!
Bahamas Vacation Photography: Cat Island
For Ginny’s birthday, I surprised her with a trip to Cat Island. She had no idea where we were going until we reached the airport. It was a lot of fun keeping that one a secret from her. We arrived in Nassau where we had honeymooned about 14 years earlier. We spent one night there, and then we took a small (and I mean small) airplane to Cat Island. Cat Island has literally no commercial development on it. It’s considered and “out” island, in that it’s out there in the Bahamas. 
We had the beach there to ourselves, and we had a chef who prepared our meals. Each afternoon after lunch, the chef would ask what we wanted for dinner. She’d tell us what fresh foods they had on hand, and then she’d prepare these incredibly wonderful meals. We had no television to speak of, so we laid by the beach and read books. In fact, I read photgraphy books while Ginny read fiction for the first time in years. (Ginny is an editor and reads all the time, but she doesn’t often have time to read fiction.) It was, as Ginny says, “The most relaxing time I’ve ever had.” We highly recommend a trip to this part of the world if you seek only the sounds of the ocean, the dogs running down the beach, and your spouse. It was the best vacation I’ve ever taken with Ginny. She claims the same, so I’m sure we’ll be going back. I hope the photos reflect the beauty and relaxation we found on this trip.
