Quad Squad

This image was from a story about a woman who is expecting quadruplets after many tries and disappointments in trying to get pregnant, both before and after conceiving the daughter pictured here ("Quad Squad" is her term, by the way).

Natural portrait light

This is from a story about a local woman (thanks to The Onion, I can't say "area woman" with a straight face) who helps those who have lost homes due to natural disasters. I loved the natural light of her house.

Barbershop

Top: Barry Yingling hangs out at Doug's Barbershop on the last day of 2011. Stumbled on this feature on the way to make a building mug which happened to be next door. The John Deere clock and the vintage Coke machine were killing me with their color and general awesomeness.

Bottom: Girl Scouts compete in a cookie balancing contest.

Learning to Drive

This was from a story about driver's ed and was tricky because of all the reflections and just my position in the backseat (and also having to fight my carsickness!). Cheyenne, 16, was a trooper and did a great job on her first driving lesson, despite having both me and the instructor watching her every move.

I don't have much in the way of Christmas-y images at the moment so I leave you with this to help combat holiday stress; it's from a business story we did. Happy Holidays!
