I went to a speaker at that lame-o photography conference that only the non-cool kids went to and he talked about how he 2nd shot a wedding and only took 50 images, to prove to himself that he could do it, and how much more carefully he composed and exposed the images he did take. Can't wait to see your shots!

I really, really love these. :) I'm excited to see what you got!!! Though, I'm sure you did fabulously! :) I've made myself take only a certain amount of shots before -- I definitely see differently, and seem to be more careful about what I am capturing.

um um um um ummmmm.......... I LOVE THAT FIRST SHOT!

Love them both! :) Quality, not quantity, I always say when speaking about photographs and food.

LOOOVE that first shot. E is getting so big! *sniffle* how they grow up!

One of the best self portraits ever, in my humble opinion. Love these shots.

I'm with Kelli on the self-portrait. Love it! Really glad you chose the first one for the warmth image, too. The second one makes me feel cold because of the shade. :)

Hey Zak, thanks for joining the Rebirth assignments. And yes, that self-portrait is very unique, way to go using a different perspective.

Love the last one... Cool hat BTW! :)

I love backyard fun. I have the fondest memories of my kids there.

You have such beautiful children!! Looks like you guys had fun! :)

Oh my.... your kids are just adorable Zac! When my boys were that same age they used to adore 'bucket baths' out on the lawn on warm summer evenings. Your youngest looks so much like my son Eddie at that age... pale skin, bright blue eyes and white blonde wavy hair. You've got me reminiscing with these beautiful shots.

I can't kelp but giggle when I see these. The look on your boy's face with that water pistol in his hand is so priceless! What a beautiful bunch you have there Zak!

Giant buckets are made of WIN!!

1.) I love your doggy, so cute!

2.) OMG are you freaking kidding me with these shots?!? I love your kids' eyes, they are amazing. And I am in AWE of the one with your son lying on the grass, laughing. Those eyelashes! That face! This needs to be a huge canvas now!
