The twins

2007-10-29T20:50:00.000-07:00

Seems like yesterday I was taking pictures of them their first day in this world, they have gotten so big, they both remind me in ways of their big brother Aaron. Little Ryan and Caitlyn are also getting such cute little personalities.

Happy 2nd birthday Aaron

Jason and Stacey engagement

2007-09-01T18:46:00.000-07:00

I was a little worried about the lighting because it was so cloudy this afternoon, but the lighting actually looks great. These two had a nice glow, young love it's a wonderful thing.

Happy Birthday Dad

2007-08-29T08:17:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was my dad's 66th birthday, he spent it in the hospital, we got to spend a wonderful week with him in Daytona last week. He's having 96 radioactive seeds implanted in him this week to burn the prostate cancer from him. Keep him in your prayers. What a way to spend your birthday.

Bride Ashley

Donna

2007-08-13T19:48:00.000-07:00

I’ve always thought Donna was beautiful. Having known her for the last year I realize how beautiful she really is. She was an NFL cheerleader, I think being a NFL cheerleader is more than just being beautiful. These women are smart, personable, professional, and most of all have big hearts. Notice the leader in cheerleader. Donna works for many different charities and is always giving. She’s currently raising money for the heartwalk that is coming up, if you want to help her out you can click on the link here. https://www.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=222555&lis=1&kntae222555=53A70811C97A4085B982CC84730F084E&supId=183467876

I’d like to give a special thanks to Donna, because she has helped me with growing my portfolio. Thank Donna

Karen

2007-08-09T18:21:00.001-07:00

It was the hottest part of the day when I had the photoshoot with Karen, I think I stayed and shot on the inside as long as I could, but I was just as happy with the outside shots, she was beautiful and just as sweet as she was pretty.

Alex

2007-08-08T17:58:00.000-07:00

Alex was my first shoot Saturday morning, right on time, the sun wasn't quite out, it seemed to linger behind the clouds but I think we still got some nice shots. The first shoot just went by too fast.

Jill

2007-08-08T06:11:00.001-07:00

If there was one word to describe Jill besides beautiful it would be graceful. She has a wonderful graceful moves. I really enjoyed photographing her.

Marissa

2007-08-07T05:02:00.000-07:00

When Marissa walked up I noticed her beautiful smile first, then those eyes. Don't let all this beauty fool you, there's lots more than a pretty face. When I finish with this series of beauties, I'll tell you at the end what they all have in common. Hope your enjoying seven days of beauty. I've sure enjoyed doing their photoshoots.

Kim

2007-08-06T16:29:00.000-07:00

Wow! Those eyes, that smile! Kim was fun, she moved, she reminded me of what it's all about being a photographer. I feel lucky to have been taking pictures of such a beautiful woman!

Darlene

2007-08-05T18:54:00.001-07:00

I'll be featuring some headshots I done this weekend. This was one beautiful woman. I thought she looked a lot like Eva Longoria.

Dena in my glasses

2007-08-03T06:43:00.000-07:00

I was home this weekend, had a nice visit with everyone. Here's my sister Dena wearing my glasses. More pictures to come from the weekend reunion.

Autumn

2007-08-02T10:48:00.000-07:00

My sis Sherry

2007-07-20T13:07:00.000-07:00

Sherry's love is special in oh so many ways
Now miles stretch between us and minutes turn to days. We've shared so much as children the tears, the joys, the pain
A lifetime spent together those memories remain. In times gone by we've pondered the paths our lives have taken
Knowing that in spite of this our love unshaken.
My sister's love is special in ways that are unspoken
Still that binding force exists our love unbroken.

Dena, Mom, and Sherry

2007-07-16T09:35:00.000-07:00

Picture I took of my sister's with my mom when they came two weeks ago. They are so pretty to me!

Jordon

2007-07-15T16:53:00.000-07:00

Well he didn't get to go on any of the slides but he still was a happy little fellow, but he didn't leave his mom's side most of the day. I hope I got his name right.

Asher turns 4

2007-07-15T16:26:00.000-07:00

Asher turned 4 this week, he got lots and lots of transformer's stuff. Although since it rained they closed the waterpark and didn't open it back up. But all the kids were really good, and enjoyed playing in the arcade and riding gocarts.

Jacksonville Florida Fireworks on the 4th of July St John's River

2007-07-05T10:37:00.001-07:00

These are just a few of my favorite out of 100 shots that I took for the 4th, the last one I just did as a negative of the original , thought it looked pretty cool. Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July.

Gabriel with his mom and dad

2007-06-30T11:02:00.000-07:00

This is the little fellow I thought was like a little angel with two pictures one with his mom and the other one with his dad. Isn't he just the cutest little fellow.

Gabriel

2007-06-27T20:43:00.000-07:00

Gabriel, what a beautiful name, like the angel. This little boy was just so sweet. He had got a little sun at the beach before the birthday party. I thought he was just precious and I enjoyed watching his mom and dad with him and how loving they were with him, and their 3 year old little girl too.

Happy First Birthday Jacob

2007-06-26T10:13:00.001-07:00

Here's looking at you kid

2007-06-26T07:11:00.000-07:00

Went to Mike's nephew's 1st birthday party this weekend, there were lots of babies, I couldn't resist taking pictures of this little fellow, more baby pictures and birthday pics coming later.

Brandi

2007-06-25T09:54:00.001-07:00

Thought I'd spotlight my cousin Brenda Gail's daughter and her photography website over at http://www.freewebs.com/brandihickey/ Check it out. She's very talented. I guess Nana gave us some of her artistic talents. Nana could draw, paint, sew, do ceramics, just about anything. I can see a little of my Nana when I look at this picture I took of Brandi at the last reunion we went too.

Autumn and Rere

2007-06-14T11:52:00.000-07:00

Well I havn't been posting because about a month ago right after Mother's Day my back went out, 2 torn disc, 5 bulging discs compressing on a nerve. After many doctor's visit's and 18 shots, and 2 procedures, nerve blocks, I'm feeling better and on the mend.

My sister came up this weekend and brought Autumn. It did my heart good to see her, she kept me laughing

Little Fisherman Ethan

2007-05-19T20:02:00.002-07:00

What a little sport Ethan is, he stuck to me like glue while he was with me, he doesn't let me out of site for long, he thought he was something out there fishing. We played lots of fun games, like hide and seek, and hot and cold, I enjoy being a kid while I'm with them, I sure am going to miss not being with them all for Myrtle Beach, S.C. this week with Daddy and everyone. Sometimes I just don't understand why things like this happen to my back especially at a time when I'm supposed to be enjoying life, well I am happy for the weekend I did get to spend with them.

2007-05-19T20:02:00.001-07:00

Eli by the pond

2007-05-19T19:54:00.002-07:00

Eli has grown so much too, he's such a little man without the long curls, I thought this was an interesting shot of him by the pond, it was one of his serious looks, I got a lot of him smiling big, and making crazy faces but I like this one, he wasn't as happy that I brought a new big camera because it was so big that Uncle Derek didn't let him play with it as much as his old camera, he and Autumn both were asking where my old camera was. Eli was full of questions, he even told me I didn't play with him as much as I used too, and when I did, he would sometimes say

B-O-R-I-N-G to let me know he wanted to do something else. He's quite good though since his little brother Ethan is attached to me like glue.

2007-05-19T19:54:00.001-07:00

Autumn

2007-05-19T19:20:00.000-07:00

She keeps growing faster and faster, she's becoming quite an independent little lady. I miss watching her grow from day to day or even week to week. I like the way this black and white turned out of her.

Happy Mother's Day

2007-05-17T16:55:00.000-07:00

I went home for Mother's Day, I spent the night with my mom on the first night I went home, she cooked me meatloaf, we sat up and talked till midnight, got up early and had a wonderful breakfast, this is one of my favorite's of her that I took of her and my sister Dena, two mother's. I have a feeling my sister Sherry will be a mother soon as well, just a feeling. She's already like a mom with Autumn though.

Happy Birthday Sherry

2007-05-17T16:46:00.000-07:00

Monday was my sister's birthday, I took this picture of her and Autumn on Mother's Day. For her birthday I gave her me with a bad back. They sure look pretty.

Aunt Evelyn's 90th birthday

2007-05-17T16:41:00.000-07:00

My grandfather's sister's 90th birthday was this weekend. I got to see a lot of my cousins I havn't seen in a while so that was really nice. It was also mother's Day, and my sister's birthday this weekend, my back also went out this Monday, herniated disc they think, I'll know more later after the results of the MRI.

Aunt Evelyn lived right by my grandpa, my dad and aunt grew up right beside her and her two children Kyle and Marie. I was lucky enough spending every weekend with my grandparents and I remember walking up to her house many times on that old dirt road, she was always hard working at something but she always made me feel like a guest and very welcome. I loved her so much growing up. I was a little sad when I went to her birthday, because I realize how I havn't visited her as much as the years go on. She's still as beautiful to me though as she was when I was a little boy!

Green Eyes

2007-05-08T17:59:00.000-07:00

Kristen has the prettiest green eyes, thought I'd take all the color out of everything but her eyes, wow.

Wind blown

2007-05-05T11:06:00.000-07:00

The wind was blowing pretty strong! I'm not sure why, it's a simple picture, but I love this one.

Flower girl at the beach

2007-05-03T10:28:00.000-07:00

They are just too fun to watch. I don't think her mom was too happy though that she ended up laying in the sand and doing angels in the sand, like angels in snow in her little dress.

Saturday Shoot with Laura

2007-04-18T18:14:00.000-07:00

Saturday we had a wonderful photoshoot for Laura's senior pictures. She was such a beautiful girl. We had a great time with her and her mom. It was very laid back, we even found a nice manmaid waterfall over by Sawgrass.

Beautiful Bride Coral

2007-04-15T16:56:00.000-07:00

The wedding was Friday, it was such a beautiful wedding, got some great shots. Coral was such a beautiful bride. The wedding was very touching, and I got chill bumps during many parts of it.

Engagement shots of Coral and Josh

2007-03-25T17:07:00.000-07:00

Just a few engagement shots from this past Saturday of Coral and Josh. The soon to be bride looked beautiful. These two just look so happy and content together, they have that chemistry. You can just see the love and respect in their eyes for each other.

Big Brother Aaron

2007-03-19T19:56:00.000-07:00

He just keeps on getting cuter! This was taken last weekend when my family was down and they got to meet little Aaron and his little brother and sister the twins Ryan and Caitlyn.

Solitude

2007-01-15T20:08:00.000-08:00

Seems we're all looking for it these days, I got up early for this shot, she was the only person on the beach, waiting in stillness, both of us waiting for the sunrise. I like this quiet shot of her, almost as much as the beautiful sunrise we both witnessed that morning.

Brother's

2007-01-09T18:58:00.000-08:00

These are two shots I took of Asher and Jacob at Mike's mom's Christmas party, these two are the cutest kids. I'm so glad Mike is getting to know them.

You are getting Very Sleepy

Ethan

2007-01-03T18:44:00.000-08:00

Little Smiley, he's funny and says cheese everytime I point the camera at him, and closes his eyes, I have to wait and take the picture a second or so after he says cheese so he will open his eyes.

2006-12-27T13:11:00.000-08:00

Two days before Christmas, we hit the peanut field, and this is Ethan eating a peanut. I sang them the song

"Ate a peanut, ate a peanut, ate a peanut, just now"

Jacob

2006-12-20T18:09:00.000-08:00

This is Mike's nephew Jacob, he's just the cutest little thing, with that black hair and blue eyes. I like this shot I got of him even though he's not smiling.

Christmas present for my sister Dena

2006-12-14T17:01:00.000-08:00

I'm getting it all framed for them, thought it turned out good, I want to get some good ones of everyone at Christmas too. I want to get some of Sherry and Mark. I have really been believing lately that they are going to be getting pregnant soon. I just know in my heart I'm going to be an uncle again, I hope I can be there when the next one comes.

Little Casey

2006-12-14T16:51:00.000-08:00

He's only one month old, so I got to take his first month's picture, Casey is my cousin Gina's little boy. I fades around the sides with the soft effect, I kind of like the way it turned out.

Reflections of Autumn

2006-12-12T13:28:00.000-08:00

First she was sticking her tongue out at herself, then she smiled. She she just looked into her blue eyes and I got this shot.

Another one of Sherri

2006-12-07T20:34:00.000-08:00

I like the way this one turned out too, she's got the greenest eyes I've ever seen.

Grace

2006-11-13T19:16:00.000-08:00

Beauty and Grace, this sweet lady was at the birthday party this past Friday, it was the last picture I took of her, I hugged her and gave her a hug on Sunday when I left. She passed away last night. She is our friend Theresa's mother. This is the first person from our church to pass away since we've been going.

Loving Father

2006-11-05T10:18:00.000-08:00

I took this at a birthday party yesterday, I just loved the way this one turned out.

Brothers

2006-10-27T17:49:00.000-07:00

I watch these two together Eli and Ethan, it still seems like yesterday, Eli was 2, and Ethan was being born. They are very different, but they really get along great, Eli is a really good big brother, I think Dena tells him he has to be a good big brother like his Uncle Derek was. I hope they will grow to love and depend on each other more as they grow, who knows maybe they will have a little brother or sister one day, but I think Dena and Andy are fine with two. I'm praying for Sherry everyday that she will be blessed with a little one.

Sherry

2006-10-26T21:41:00.000-07:00

It was right before I left, usually Sherry is always the last to say goodbye, I took this right before I left to come back home to Jacksonville, then she left Autumn to say the goodbyes, Autumn blew me kisses the whole time I was driving away. There is always a sadness when I have to leave.

Great Aunt Mary Jo

2006-10-26T20:02:00.000-07:00

This is my great aunt Mary Jo. I took this of her Sunday at my home church's 90 year anniversary, the one my great grandparents helped start.

Cousin Betty

2006-10-25T17:39:00.000-07:00

She's actually my mom's first cousin, but she made the Kilgore reunion fun for me, she was one of the main reason's I was wanting to go, she and I have been sharing research for years now. She's such a sweet and good lady. You just feel good when your around her. I like the way this one turned out.

Lilly

2006-10-18T16:36:00.000-07:00

I've started doing something new. I walk a lot lately, and I always bring my camera. This lady and I ended up on the same side of the street walking home, she greeted me with a big smile. We actually had left a place at the same time, I told her because of my back hurting, she said she had left for the same reason, and started going into the pain blocks and a few of her ailments. With camera and passing flowers I asked her could I take her picture since we were both walking home. After that she opened up. She was a retired nurse for a nursing home, she had messed up a disc helping a patient that had fallen. She tried teaching school for a while also, but the pain go to be too much. We only walked three blocks before I turned off to my place, but it was a nice three block walk. I shook hands with her told her my name, and she told me her name was Lily.

Aaron

2006-10-09T07:38:00.000-07:00

He took five of his first steps this weekend. It was so awesome. Then he took four, then he got tired, and said no more, and sat down.

Round Robin Challenge ABC's of Autumn

2006-10-03T20:28:00.000-07:00

It's been quite a while since I've done the Round Robin, so I wanted to get back into it. This was kind of hard, especially since I just couldn't think of anything that started with V.

T.J., author of Photo Inclusions: Every Picture Tells a Story. I'll let her introduce it:
Topic for October ...oh that can only be one thing.
=ABC's of Autumn=
Using the first letters of your first and last name. Here's mine....
D is for Dazzling display of color
V is for V formation of Geese and very nice weather

I just realized I'm a few minutes early posting this, sorry guys.

LESSONS FROM PAPA
It was a magic world I lived in as a boy, stepping onto the boat with Papa was always an adventure. Papa understood me and he always played along with my imagination, he went on my adventures with me. Sometimes he would sit me on his lap and let me steer the boat, with the engine roaring he would whisper in my ear that we were flying. As the wind blew through my hair I would inch my way to the front of the boat. I felt as if I was flying, I would be right up front almost feeling the wind would lift me into the sky. Looking into the water hypnotized me, and then a splash of cold water would hit me bringing me back to reality. Every time I would look at Papa he would be smiling back at me as much as I was smiling at him. When we finally did slow down and throw anchor, he would make our fishing trip magical, telling me of all the fish that lived underneath us, he said there was a magic fish and if I could catch him he would grant me three wishes. He was a gold mackerel. As Papa baited my hook, I would cast my line and sit with anticipation of catching this magic fish. Spraying lemon juice on my head for luck, we would sit and talk about things. As a flock of geese flew over our head, Papa would tell me to look, if it isn't the Bird family of V....'s flying over, that the V stands for well our last name. He told me to really watch them, how they fly together in that v, all going in the same direction. He would say if one falls out of the v that it is harder to fly because the wind that the wings of his brother or sister goose helps him fly. He also wanted me to notice how when the lead goose gets tired they change positions. The brother and sister goose takes turns. And how the goose in the back is always honking keeping them at their speed. Funny thinking that papa was trying to teach me a lesson way back then. I'm thinking about my grandpa tonight as you can see.

Kilgore's the beekeepers

2006-10-03T16:27:00.000-07:00

This past weekend I ran into my mom's first cousin at a birthday party. The highlight to me was the lady in the picture. We caught eyes when we were in there, and there was something familiar to them. I saw my grandmother's eyes. She smiled. It crossed through my head that she was related to me. Well when she came up to me it was like she looked at me and said hello, and before she could ask me how we knew each other I told her I think we're related. She covered her mouth, and laughed. Her father and my grandmother were brothers and sisters.
An interesting thing I found out about our Kilgore ancestors, these were my mother's mom's family. Was that they were beekeepers. I remember my Nana's brother Uncle Joe we called him, I think his name was Jodie. He had many hive bodies out in his fields. I remember my Uncle Joe but this is the only thing I remember talking to him about, because it was one of the only thing that really interested me. I hung out more with his wife Aunt Doris and their daughters and grand-daughters and grandsons. I remember there being a lot of women in that family. But they all worked as hard as any man. Anyway this whole beekeeping thing seemed interesting. I wasn't crazy about bees or getting stung, so I was amazed that he actually kept them, and he'd say they were his bees. I asked him about it and why he did it? And he said well, my father did it, and his father did it. My brother Gene does it too. So I guess it's a family thing. He showed me the hives, I was scared at first cause I thought when he opened the boxes they would just swarm out and attack like in the Killer Bee movies I had seen. But they didn't. I remember other things he told me. I wish I'd listened more, because he told me about these boxes he made for the bees, and how he made special chambers like one just for the queen of the hive, and he explained it all to this little boy that was me. I really don't remember much more than that, but I do remember this, I loved to eat honeycombs or the wax on top of the honey because I had asthma and it was supposed to be good for asthma. I loved anything I could learn about insects, not sure why they interested me so as a child and teenager. My project was Entomology from 6th grade till 9th grade in 4-H, I would usually win in District Project Achievement, but at State I only won once. Anyway getting off the subject. Anyway I remember bits and pieces of it all, but not really much. I asked him how he got his bees in the first place and he showed me something that I will never forget. He took part of the honeycomb full of honey, and put it in a jar. We left the hives and just walked for a long ways. Somewhere out far. I remember my 3rd cousin Greg being with us. He had red hair and freckles like my Uncle Andy. He took the honeycomb out and put it out on this old log. Greg and me played and ran around and looked at the hogs and the rest of the farm, then we saw Uncle Joe waving his arms, we came over and on the honeycomb was a bee. He said these bees here communicate,this bee will go find it's bee friends and within a hour or so there will be more bees here. And they will just keep coming till a whole swarm is here. They will carry all the honey back to their hive. Well these were actually probably bees from the hives we had walked from, but he said this is an example of how got his bees. I then asked him did he ever get stung, and he said more times than he'd like to remember. That was it, then it was off with cousin Greg to play until we heard our moms calling us to tell us "The Wizard of Oz" was on, for some reason my mom wanted me to see this movie with all my Kilgore cousins. I often think of things when I was young, and apply them to today. I think about Uncle Joe, one of my Nana's favorite brother's and his childhood stories about his bees. Wouldn't it be great if we were like these ole bees. Are we telling others about the One we have found? The spirit has filled me with much good news, I think that's why I like sharing it in my blogs, just like those bees. Don't remain silent if you feel something you are supposed to share. Let it out! Honey is like Jesus, bring the bees to the honey! This one's for you cousin Linda!

I'm not sure why I love this picture I did of my sister Sherry but it's always been one of my favorite's, she's usually either hiding from my camera or posing. But this one I got of her when she really was in a moment of thought, she didn't even see me catch her with the camera when I got it, she was million miles away. Autumn reminds me so much of her.

Autumn is growing so fast, she's turning into such a little sweetie. I took this of her on the balcony, and played with the color, kept her eyes the original color.

I thought I captured two totally separate emotions, the one in color was the beginning to a fun day, and little Asher was so happy, the one in black and white was towards the end of the day, and when we told him we would have to leave the park, and all the fun he was having.
