Misawa Newborn Photography - Jacob Wolfard

So, we're running a little bit behind around here...Sarah took these photos a couple of weeks ago and we wanted to get them online for all to see. The pictures are awesome and fun. After looking at these pictures so much, it is crazy to see tiny little Jacob. He looks grown up and Micah's age in some of the pictures (just way more hair than Micah). Enjoy the pics...and a big Booyah shout-out to Cuda and Krystal, your son rocks.

Surin Young - Misawa newborn photos

We are really loving taking newborn pictures. Here is one of the announcements that we created. We have started to get referrals from friends to our photography business and it is so much fun to have people call because they saw other pictures we have taken. Surin was three weeks old when these pictures were taken. She is so precious.

Misawa Family Photos - Ulrich's

We took photos of the Ulrich's on Tuesday. They wanted photos taken before Jim left for training followed by a 6-month deployment. We know Jim and Julie from our Sunday night Bible study and had a blast taking family photos for them. Hope you enjoy!

More Aoni...

The Romantic Aoni Onsen....with Micah

So while Ryan was on re-constitution for two weeks lots of people took small local trips. We decided to do something romantic...well, as romantic as you can with a eight month old. We went to an Onsen about three hours from here. It normally would only take and hour and 1/2 but due to winter road conditions many roads are closed. Aoni is nestled in the Hakkoda Mountains and as you drive up to it you can see Mt. Hirosaki, which is beautiful. We had lots of fun and Micah loved the outside baths. They weren't to hot due to the winter temps. so he was able to stay in a little longer. There was no electricity, so our room was lit by oil lamp and heated by a kerosene heater. We watched them fish our dinner out from right behind our room. Fish on a stick...YUM(seriously) I was brave and tried everything they offered, unlike Ryan, I didn't lick my plate clean. We had a tremendous time and we hope you enjoy the pictures we took. Sorry we didn't capture our meals, we kept forgetting to bring our cameras.

For you GPS capable folks that are interested in checking it out and think the directions from ITT are not so great, the onsen is at N40 34.286 E140 43.758 and the parking lot that they shuttle you from in winter is at N40 34.839 E140 41.245.

New Website!

So after the same boring website for the past couple of years, we've finally ditched the old look and dropped a couple of dollars on a better looking and functioning site. I've tested the site with Safari, Internet Explorer, and Firefox. So far no problems (please let me know if anything doesn't work). If you have a slow internet connection, this website will take significantly longer to load, but we hope that everyone enjoys the new look! So check it out if you have a few minutes...and if you know anyone in the Misawa area that needs photography, tell them to look us up. The link is: Cross Photography. The music is from Daniel Ho, licensed through Triple Scoop Music. Enjoy!

Family Ski Trip - APPI

It seems that everytime I post something, we've already done two or three things since, so...here it goes Fast and Furious (just like on the bus ride up to APPI). I'm going to get caught up now...so here goes.

I know what you're thinking...and yes, that is Micah strapped on for the ride...and it was COLD! It snowed pretty much the whole time and the wind blew perfectly sideways all day. The weather finally got nicer as we were leaving. We got lots of strange looks from the Japanese and American people on the slopes. Despite everything, Micah had a great time and we've determined that next ski season we'll have him on his own skis (hopefully).
