One of the best parts of summer is watching children explore our portrait park. Of course, there's always time for some fun in the water!

I spent a beautiful fall afternoon recently with the Heaton family. It was a great day for a walk in the woods.

Photography, fun and feathers

Mon, 01/24/2011 - 10:48pm | by chris

I had a great week at PPA's Imaging USA in San Antonio. The 2,500-mile bus ride with fellow photographers from MN, WI, IA and the Dakotas was a blast - and educational too! We snuck away from the convention for a few hours to visit the San Antonio Zoo. These Lorikeets didn't seem to mind my presence.

"Grease" was a hit on Becker HS stage

Mon, 12/06/2010 - 11:49pm | by chris

More than 100 cast and crew members performed "Grease" to sellout crowds last weekend at Becker High School. It's been a thrill to watch these young actors, musicians and techies bring entertaining musicals to the local stage! I had the privilage of photographing dress rehearsal last week. Check out the collection of 560+ photos at www.lommelphotography.com. Go to "online orders." Great job everyone! -Chris

Friends and Photography

Wed, 04/21/2010 - 9:14pm | by chris

Just returned from a three-day professional photographers' convention in Watertown, South Dakota. Two of my prints were selected for the Minnesota Professional Photographers Association traveling loan collection. I learned a lot from excellent nationally-known speakers. Conventions are a great way to renew friendships and get pumped up with fresh ideas for high school seniors, children and families!

Sydney's first session

Fri, 03/12/2010 - 9:44pm | by chris

Photographing newborns is such a joy. Looking through the viewfinder I can't help but wonder what they're thinking. At just four weeks old, little Sydney was quite curious about me and what was going on around her. Sydney's first portrait session was great fun. Her mother Amy, grandmother Rene and I shared many laughs as we watched the little baby in pink entertain us with cute expressions, quiet gestures and a few cries. I can't wait for the next session!

Noah and Hannah

Noah

Noah's growing up! During his third Baby Steps session, Noah and I had a great time playing on the white background. I can tell he wants to crawl, but seemed content staying put to enjoy the entertainment -- and flashing lights. Not to be outshined by her younger brother, Hannah joined the fun and shared some of her dance moves.
