Venetian Parade

July 26, 2008

Although I have been celebrating Charlevoix's Venetian Festival for two and a half decades, this year is the first time I've ever attended the parade.  This shot is one of my favorites from the day.

Jones Family Portrait

Chicago
June 13, 2008


What a fun photo shoot!  The Jones family asked me to join them for an afternoon on beautiful Lake Michigan.  Such a nice (and photogenic) family!






Thank you so much for the fabulous job that you did on the photos!  I think that this is the FIRST! TIME! EVER! that I have in my possession any good shots of Ross smiling.  (You know, the real, natural smile... Finally!)  You captured the 'real' him.  Thank you!

I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed meeting you, having you spend time with us and appreciated your talent as a photographer!

Holy Family Lutheran School Grand Opening

Holy Family Lutheran School
June 3, 2008



I was honored to be asked to document the grand opening of this very special school for these very special children.  Be sure to check out the video to get the full effect of the day.  

Thanks to J. Winter Productions, Holy Family Lutheran School has a permanent record of one of the most joyous events in our school's 23 year history.  Your video captured not only the euphoria of the day, but also the spirit of the School, it's students, faculty and supporters.  The laudatory emails and phone calls the Holy Family staff has received is a testament to your talents!
