Since this new guy has been living at the house he has yet to help out with ANY chores! All of that changed this past Saturday when he decided to wake up at 1:00 while I was cutting grass. Me and the little guy had some male bonding on the mower…goooood times. It was actually a really funny time out front. There was a huge yard sale going on with three families that live around us and every person that drove by would slow down to stare at us.
I have to post this shot! I have worked with Eric for about 4 years now and to say the least it has been a huge blessing being around him. Eric is extremely inspiring and oozes talent. I have been taking head shots of people around the office for a few weeks now and after I ran this one through Photoshop I couldn’t stop looking at it for some reason. I love the B&W conversion, the beautiful natural light and just the character of Eric’s face.
Happy Tuesday all! I hope you all are doing well and thank you for checking in on my humble little blog. I have been editing family pictures like crazy lately, so I thought I would share a few with you, and a video. Jonah and Sophie are getting HUGE and keeping Meghan (since shes nice enough to let me sleep at night while Jonah nurses and keeps the hose locked down all day…but trush me stay at home mommyhood is some TOUGH work) and I extremely busy. Here are a few recent shots of our little people.
Sophie made Jonah’s “hat” at school for St. Patrick’s Day. It was a pot of gold at one point, but so much more fun worn as a hat.
This is what happens when you put a 3 1/2 year old who likes to dress up in the same room as her little brother. Only a real man can rock a tiara!
“What was just on my head?”
How bout’ them cheeks?
Mischievous, to say the least.
Yet so cute.
Jonah and “papa”
Jonah just looking cute, even with two ear infections 
Last but not lease, here is Miss Sophie doing dishes, and making coco. For the nerds of the group, it was shot with a 5D Mark II, Canon 28-70 2.8 @ f/2.8. Edited in Final Cut after being transcoded to ProRes 422LT. A bit of color grading done in Color. (I’m a nerd and love to know all the info so, thought I would pass it on 
)
Our newest little guy turned 6 months old today. It’s amazing how time flies. From a floppy little baby to chunky little boy happens too fast.
Hello people. I’m back….again. I think I fall off the map for about a month after every post. I don’t know if that’s good because I have been so busy or bad because I have completely neglected my poor little blog. regardless, here I am today with a few pictures to post. I’ll be posting the rest as they get edited. Below is the beautiful Lindsay shot in Waxhaw SC last Friday. It could not have been a better day to go out and enjoy the weather, sunny, about 70 and accompanied with the extremely talented David Stanfield and our office intern-ette Jessica. I hope you guys…and girls enjoy.
Hey peoples. Happy Monday. I hope you all had an awesome weekend. I know I did! I was very blessed with the opportunity to go flying with a friend of mine. He has been working on getting his pilots license for years now…that whole college, marriage, kid and job thing had been getting in the way. Regardless of the craziness life brought him Frank is now official. We took off Saturday morning, a cloudless, cool morning; which is apparently perfect for flying. First matter of business once airborne; fly by our houses. Sophie and Meghan were out back waving at us as we passed my house and then we were off to enjoy the clear skies.
Talk about an awesome way to travel. It took about 20 minutes to get to Shelby from Gaston Municipal and it about an hour and a half to the beach….one day. Until then here are a few pictures.
Be Well!
So we finally got some snow. Only a few inches but snow none the less. Of corse Sophie couldn’t wait to get out and play in it. First off we made an “Igloo”, well an igloo to her but just a tower of icy snow to most everyone else. Her and I got to play outside on the second day of our snow and since it had rained and sleeted a little the night before she was able to walk on the snow/icy mix. I had a few skate decks laying around in the shed and thought that they could be put to use. Last year they were our makeshift sleds and they served that purpose perfectly this year. Sophie started in the front yard and then worked out into the street. Hopefully we’ll see another snow storm before summer hits, and maybe next time we’ll have a real sled

I’ve got to give a shout out to my buddy Blake. He was blessed last year by winning a Youtube contest and was sent to Sundance Film Festival. It’s that time again and he’s heading back to Utah. Check him out, give him a call if you need some amazing video coverage.
Here’s the winning film from last year:
On a side note: Blake shook hands with Kevin Bacon at Sundance last year. That makes me two degrees from Kevin Bacon, therefor making you three. If you haven’t heard that everyone is somehow 6 degrees from Kevin Bacon…now you have. And now you can tell people you are three degrees from the man…if you have met me that is.
Welcome to the new Neal Slimick Photography…well…minus the photography. I was in need of a new look and a shorter name. In the coming weeks I’ll be updating the blog content and keeping you all up to date on new shoots and some new products. I hope you enjoy the new look and feel of the site and blog. If you have any questions or comments please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Be Well,
Neal
