Colin was one of the students in the youth group I used to pastor. I was able to shoot him the morning before I left for Maryland to do a couple of gigs. Here’s a couple of my favorites.

Hey everyone! So Jess and I are in Indiana, we’re moved in, but not quite unpacked. We’re having an awesome time. I’m finally getting some time to process some of the pictures that I took right before I left so here’s a sneak peak! Full blog posts coming soon.
JIM baker p.s the new header is a pic of my chicken friends Good Day Pastor Jim, Not sure if your email address is the same so I thought I would send you a Hello through here! So HI! Glad to see things are going well for you in Indiana. Like your new friends too! Do they wake you every morning? LOL Well give me a quick email back so I have your email address.

WOW! @ andy – just sent you an e-mail with my e-mail address the chickens don’t wake me every morning, there’s no rooster. @ colleen – thanks!! send anyone you know our way if they have any photo needs
JIM baker WOW!! Man what a surprise! I would love to be able to meet up with you before you leave! Hope all is well and God Bless! taken at a Darrell Hill painting seminar in Hawaii
After 6 months of trying to choose paint colors for the apartment, we pulled the trigger and went and bought paint. (For the living room at least) Luckily there was a lady there at Lowes also buying paint that gave us some tips. I had no clue there was so many choices. Different paint finishes, different types of paints, different types of tools to apply the paint.
We ended up buying foam rollers which are much smaller than your typical roller but everyone said they were quite nice. Jess and I had never seen them before, I think they are intended to use on doors and cabinets, we’ll let you know how it goes. We also got a rolling edger since we have a lot of molding in our house and Melissa Stanton said we should get one. She’s pretty much the local expert on painting right now since they just bought a house and a redoing it all. We had a small trim edger in our hands but the lady that worked there said that she had one and threw it away and recommended us a small brush. We got a corner brush too. It was really nice to get real help in a store. We bought Valspar Hi-def paint. It’s a paint that you don’t have to use a primer with. We also bought matte finish, because the lady that was there buying paint asked us if we had a lot of flaws in our walls. We answered with an emphatic yes. She said glossy paints show the walls flaws more. So we bought the flat matte. Here’s a pic of how things are looking before the paint
We’ll keep you updated I’m excited to see it when it is done…good luck :)…I hope it goes well for you! woah, the resident expert commented on the blog i finally get to see your place! can’t wait to see it when it’s done bakers haha, there’s an air mattress with your name on it any time you want to come and stay. since we have been to memphis TWICE now. 😉 I love your tree photo. thanks! we love it too!! Please let I know if this Valspar Hi-Def paint works! We are about to buy a lot of paint and don’t want to make a mistake.
JIM baker Monday! New week, new month, new LAYOUT. I like August because I get to park on the side of the street nearest to my house haha. Anyway, I feel super behind on blogging, things have been busy but thats a good thing. I shot and edited my first video this past week with the 5dm2, I enjoyed it and learned a lot too. There’s going to be some more video projects coming up soon. I’m processing print orders for people and I feel like I’ve been shooting a lot more for people than usual. I’m shooting a wedding in Maryland at the end of this month and I’m starting talks with a designer so I can get some advertising stuff up and running. Ordered two float wraps for our house. We’re still in the process of making our house feel like a home. Here’s the two that we ordered.
obviously won’t have the watermark… but this one will be 15×30″ on metalic paper and will be hung in our “dining room”
and this one will be 16×24″ also on metallic paper and will go in our kitchen.
Nice work as usual! I dig the main street shot! That’ll make a cool print! sounds excellent, and great choices for hanging on the wall!
JIM baker Another job well done. By the way, where’s Bett’s Park? Looks nice… thanks! betts is in warren
On July 3rd I had the privilege to second shoot Josh and Hannah’s beautiful wedding. The main photographer was Pranee Loffer a friend of mine who was in my photo school in 2008. You can see the complete collection in three parts on her blog. [part 1] [part2] [part 3] Here’s just a few of my favorite shots from the day. Congrats to Josh and Hannah! JIM baker Hi Jim, Love, Grandma and Grandpa Awesome pictures Pastor Jim!!! All are magazine worthy!! You are an amazing photographer! I still think you need to get your hiking boots on and take some amazing pictures of God’s beautiful nature creations! God Bless!! thanks everyone! Ashlynn Mary Koenig – 1 month
So we left Memphis and headed straight to Atlanta to visit Jess’ sister, her husband and their brand new baby girl! This was Aunt Jess’ second time seeing her brand new niece but my first. She’s ADORABLE!
Then we headed over to Hilton Head to visit my parents. My sister Jeannie was also visiting with her daughter, we grabbed lunchand hit the road to Ft Lauderdale FL. We listened to a time share presentation so that we could get our “free cruise” and boarded the boat to the Bahamas with my parents.
our cruise ship was called the “Bahamas Celebration”
We went on a snorkel tour in the Bahamas and Jess took this EPIC pic with the G11 and the wp-dc34 underwater casing. I was trying my best not to drown. I wish I still had the snorkel I bought in Hawaii, it actually WORKED. It started storming just as we left the dock in our boat, and by the time we got out to the reef it cleared up but the water was still choppy. My mask was leaking so I was just having a hard time doing anything. I handed the camera to Jess and she got some great pics.
The cruise was fine, being in Grand Bahama for such a short period of time was strange. I would have liked to see a bit more of the island before we had to get on the boat. After we docked back in Ft Lauderdale, we drove back to Hilton Head. Then I headed to my oldest sister Jennifer’s house in Candler, NC. There I got to spend some time with my sister and my 2 neices and nephew. Sammie, Scott and Eryka
So all in all 2 weeks, 4000+/- miles through 13 states, 2 countries, using 2 cars, and a ship. And great times with family and friends.
