Classics at Car Show for Kids

DAVENPORT, Ia. – I recently had a chance to shoot the 2010 Hooters Car Show for Kids, a fundraiser for the Children’s Therapy Center of the Quad Cities. The event – organized by the Quad Cities Cruisers – was a HUGE success hosted by the Davenport Hooters restaurant. I shot this event last year, and there was no doubt this was the place to be in the QC if you love old cars. There were nearly 250 cars spread over the Northwest Bank parking lot (top and lower levels) and spilling into NorthPark Mall’s lot.

Here’s a glimpse of some of the classics that were in the show.

During the show, participants got to vote on their favorites. The top 12 will be featured in a 2011 calendar, and the cover will be the car chosen as the Kids’ Choice Award. The calendar is currently in the beginning stages of design, and is expected to be out later this year. Proceeds from the calendar sales will also go to the therapy center. Stay tuned for more on this after the calendar comes out!

Cheers,

Elliott’s Newborn Announcement

I had an opportunity to design a newborn announcement for Elliott, whom I did a session of, along with his family, not too long ago. His mom, Linda, picked out the design, photos and the accompanying text for me to work with – and this was the end result.

I got to see Elliott again today. He was bigger, swaddled and asleep in his swing – and looked so peaceful… I couldn’t help but wish for a second I was in his place. Asleep.
