Making Room by Ryan Wentzel

This young man has been losing quite a few teeth lately, but he’s just making room for more.

The Wonder of It All by Ryan Wentzel

The world is an amazing place, especially for a one year old.

One of my sons has quite the talent for making silly faces.

What Are You Looking At? by Ryan Wentzel

My soon-to-be 1 year old has started to enjoy the swing at a local park.

I haven’t done much with portraits since purchasing my camera. I think the main reason I’ve been avoiding them is that doing good portraits is hard! Recently I was inspired to learn how to take better people shots so expect more faces on this photoblog in the future.

I have 3 little models available 24/7 so I’ll have plenty of opportunity to shoot.

My son doesn’t like to have his picture taken so I’m not sure how I got this one or why he cooperated, but I like the way it turned out.

My son wasn’t tall enough to reach the water fountain, but he didn’t let that stop him from getting a drink of cool water on this warm summer afternoon.

I crouched down near the water fountain and began clicking away. I think this shot best captured the moment.

My wife and I recently took our kids to the San Diego Natural History Museum. I’ve lived in San Diego for 15 years, but it was my first visit to the museum. Each floor featured great exhibits like a collection of beautiful autumn-themed photographs and a selection of fossils found in the San Diego region. This skeleton was not found in San Diego, of course, but it certainly made for a more photogenic subject than most of the fossils.
