Finn – 11 Days Old

Robb Shirey — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 23:05:36 +0000

O.K. so i’m the world’s worst Dad. I haven’t posted any new pictures of Finn since he was 2 days old! Everyone has been asking for new pictures and we have been patiently waiting until his Jaundice subsides some. For those of you who don’t know Jaundice is defined as “a condition in which a person’s skin and the whites of the eyes are discolored yellow due to an increased level of bile pigments in the blood”. Essentially he was yellow! Finn is looking more human like in color so we made him model a bit. I’m sure this won’t be the last time.

Happy Birthday Finn

Today I am happy to wish my new son a happy birthday. Finn Matthew Shirey graced us with his presence at 11:17 on Wednesday, January 13, 2010. Believe it or not, he was born on his due date! Mom & Finn are doing great as well as are Dad and Big Sister Camille! Help me in wishing him a Happy Birthday! I have a feeling you will be seeing more baby shots of him here in the near future.

Happy Holidays from the Thorson Family

Robb Shirey — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 19:38:28 +0000

Good friends of mine asked me if I could take some family portraits of them as well as come up with a holiday card for them to share. The girls, Cali and Ava, were very into the whole picture thing. They wanted to try a million poses both together and as individuals. Both girls were dressed head to toe in Crew Cuts by J.Crew. I decided to use my grey paper background to give them the J.Crew catalog look. Below is their card, what do you think? Cute right?

Lume + Lux Product Shoot

My new friend Ivy contacted me to help her with some product shots for her e-tail website http://www.lumeandlux.com. Ivy hand picked the model and her assistant diligently went to work steaming all of the apparel. It was nice working with a model who knew how to pose and just jumped right in. A few hours and 20 or so outfits later we were done, take a look at a few of the images we captured.

Carried The Bag

My new friend Yvette asked me to do some portraits so she could freshen up her website and newsletter. She is the owner of www.carriedthebag.com. Check out her images and her website.

Portraits of Emery

The wonderful world of Facebook has brought me back in touch with a friend from highschool. Kelly was in the process of putting together a portrait wall of her beautiful children and asked if I would be willing to photograph her daughter. Emery was excited to get started. Mom was telling her to “smile with her eyes” and to move this hand, move that foot… Apparently, mom had done a bit of modeling in the past. I was happy that she was there to help me out.

Pelotonia 2009

Robb Shirey — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 19:51:59 +0000

Well, sadly Pelotonia 2009 is half over. Most of the riders were working on 25, 50 or 100 miles today but a handful (about 500) will be getting up at 6:00am on Sunday to finish for a total of 180 miles. It was inspiring to see the mass outpouring of support and commitment from the staff, volunteers and riders this morning.

Friday night’s Opening Ceremony included a video tribute to cancer survivors. As soon as it’s posted online I will post a link. It’s well worth watching.

Here are a few images from Friday and Saturday.

Balloons and Tunes 2009 Wrap Up

Robb Shirey — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:03:28 +0000

Well, the Baloons & Tunes 2009 is a wrap. I missed the Friday night glow and the Sunday night flight but I was at the gates by 5:30 both Saturday and Sunday. @BeulahPark offered such a great setting for the Saturday night glow. This was one of the shots from the east side of the pond.

Sunday morning provided quite a few opportunities to make great images. None of them topped the “dip” that Volito decided to take.

A little Southwestern Flare

I liked how the sun flare mimicked the sun design in the balloon.
