fidler family

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 22:05:43 +0000

last year over fourth of july weekend, i photographed the fidler family, and when rhona emailed me about photographing more fidler’s, i couldn’t resist! this ‘reunion’ had such a beautiful story behind it! (i’ll do my best to remember it exactly…:)) when the fidler kids were little, mr. and mrs. fidler would bring them to charlevoix during the summer, so for their 60th wedding anniversary, the kids surprised the parents with a family weekend in charlevoix! and for a family that lives all across the united states, this get together was especially special! i had so much fun working with the extended fidler family! we shared a lot of laughs and a beautiful walk down the charlevoix pier! mr. fidler actually reminded me a lot of my own grandfather :) enjoy these photos! they hold many precious memories!!

me: “look at each other!” mr. fidler: “oh hello there! boy you’re cute!”

mike, wendi and alexandra knoblock are a part of the way family if you ask me! the countless hours spent together boating and hanging out have added up to a wonderful friendship with a fabulous couple and their little girl! you may recognize them from the venetian festival blog post, wearing their infamous oakley sunglasses and pushing the world’s cutest baby in a stroller. it’s only been two months or so since those photos, and alexandra has grown so much! i’ve never seen a baby smile so much while eating peas and rice! the knoblock’s are a beautiful family, and i’m looking forward to watching their little one grow! love you guys!

t.way customs – chris paul auction sneakers

admin — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:33:55 +0000

my cousin tyler paints sneakers. he’s wicked good at it! this is an excerpt from his blog (t.way customs.net) about the design of the shoe. click the link to view more information about his trip to the chris paul auction!

“Inspired by Chris Paul’s on-court anatomy of superior court vision, extensive basketball IQ, and committed love for the game, these sneakers were freehand painted by T.Way to be auctioned at the Chris Paul Winston-Salem Charity Weekend on September 26, 2009. The originally all-white Nike RT1 sneakers were graciously donated by All City Kicks sneaker boutique (Grand Rapids, MI).”
