The Brooklyn Bridge

Yes, My Kids Are “Cute”

Just two from this weekend.  Taken with the Nikon D700 and a Nikon 85mm 1.8.  I’m still lusting for the 85mm 1.4.

Ahh Lust

The John Lennon Wall

Shot this in prague a while back.  Never got around to posting it.  Loved the wall.  Learn more about it here.

Cora Modeling Her New Dress

Do I really need to add anything else to this amazing photo?

Cora The Future NBA Star

Wow Adam And Cora In A Photo

It happens every once in a while, but Adam does find time to get out from behind the camera and actually make it into a photo.  This was taken on Sunday September 20, 2009.  Beautiful weather, beautiful day, beautiful girl.

Spring Is Here

Sure, technically March 21st was the first day of Spring.  But, the weather really hasn’t been consistently Spring-like till this past week.  We made some time to get a bunch of yardwork done.  While there was a break in the action, I snapped this picture of Cora enjoying a snack.

Shutterfly Understands The Value Of Customer Service

Earlier this weekend, I received this email from Shutterfly.

A NOTE FROM SHUTTERFLY’S CEO

Dear Shutterfly Customer,

You may have heard recently that an increasing number of online photo services including Kodak Gallery and HP Snapfish are forcing customers to make a purchase or they will delete their photos. I’m writing to remind you that your photos are safe with Shutterfly.

As a father of three boys, an avid photographer, and someone who knows the importance and the satisfaction of sharing life’s joy, I want to assure you we understand these are not just photos, but your treasured memories.

As a reminder, with Shutterfly you get:

  • Free secure storage. In fact, we archive multiple copies of your images for safe keeping.
  • No forced deletion of your memories. And no minimum purchase required.
  • High-quality backups. We store your photos at the same resolution at which you uploaded them.
  • Free photo sharing. Friends and family can view your pictures without having to sign up.
  • Free personalized websites. Your own safe, secure place to share photos, journals, video and more.
  • 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with your purchase, we’ll refund your money.

The more than 500 people who work at Shutterfly are truly humbled that our loyal customers have made us the #1 online photo service. We are proud to provide innovative high quality products and services, an easy-to-use website, stylish designs, and customer-friendly policies.

Thank you again for choosing to create, share and preserve your memories with Shutterfly.

With warmest regards,

Jeffrey Housenbold
President & CEO

P.S. We always appreciate hearing from our customers. If you have suggestions for how we can make Shutterfly even better, please let us know at feedback@shutterfly.com.

Folks this is how it’s done.  The message was timely (lots of folks will be taking Easter Photos), proactive, and it reinforces why Shutterfly is a better choice for the consumer.

I’ve been a long time Shutterfly customer and can tell you that they have always over delivered on customer service.  This email is just another shining example of why I’ve made them my preferred choice for online photo storage, sharing, and development.

Spring May Be Here, But It’s Still Cold

Made it back to Minneapolis this weekend to spend some time with the family.  Cold or no cold, Cora just loves being outside.  She was a good sport in letting me snap these 3.
