Kayla's Senior Portraits

Time for High School Senior Portraits! Kerry and Kayla went out last weekend to get portraits done for school. They went to Portrait Innovations in the west end of Richmond at Short Pump Towncenter area. The session didn't take too long and they took just under 100 shots with different poses and props and backgrounds. Personally I think the pictures came out great with Kayla smiling. I have included a few samples here that I touched up a little with Photoshop CS3 and I think they came out great.

Can't believe she is actually on her last year of high school. I remember when I met Kerry back in 1997 when Kayla met me at the door at the young age of only 5 years old. She used to be soo cute!!! (Just kidding Kayla, you are still cute!)

Another Toy To Add To The Family

Well, Kerry and I have talked about it for a while and finally pulled the trigger almost 2 months ago. We decided to get a boat so we could have some room to carry things and friends or relatives. I have had the jet ski for about 2 years now but it is limited in carrying anything. I have a blast on it when I am riding it but the boat will be more practical. Don't get me wrong, I am not planning on getting rid of the jet ski as of yet so we'll see what happens in the future with that.

The boat is a 2001 Maxum 1800 SRL 4.3 Mercruiser. I think 18' is a good all-around size for just 2 or up to around 6 people. Kinda sucks on the gas from what I can tell but it gets the job done. The guy who owned it before apparently took care of it pretty good so there is not a whole lot that is needed to be done other than cleaning. Kerry and I have already done most of that and will continue to keep it clean.
