So this is my first real test shoot with the Red Rock Micro M2... I'm a fan. Let me know what you think!!!

Surfin the White Paper!

I had the opportunity to take some amazing shots of my best friend's baby girl Caroline. They really turned out great! It's amazing what you can do with a giant softbox and a white roll of paper. Caroline wasn't quite sitting up yet but she had this really cool boogie board move that made for some hilariously good photographs! Congrats to Caroline's mother and father who are getting married this weekend... Oh, guess what, I get to relax and be a part of the wedding. No work for me!

Day at the Park

I get a lot of questions about lifestyle photography. I guess I've honed my skills by shooting weddings. In most cases, when I'm running around the house or the park in this case, I photograph what I see and find visually pleasing. Of course, my son will always be visually pleasing to me!!! I love shooting with a fast lens (a 1.8 or lower) and kind of observe. Kids are so curious about everything and that makes for a great lifestyle photo session. You can pick up some decent "fast" glass for a reasonable price. If you're shooting with a Rebel or 40D series you can get into a 50mm f/1.8 for under $100 and with the chip in those cameras the lens is actually an 80mm. This is a great portrait lens and allows you to really open up your aperture and get that super shallow Depth of Field... a photographer's best friend!

I'm working on putting together a photography class here in the next few months. Let me know if any of you would be interested in an affordable way to learn some of the basics and some more advanced photography, nerd stuff. I'd love to know how many of you would go for something like that. Ask around. Have a great week!!!

The Rockstar and The Genius

Lovely beautiful people! The wedding will be gorgeous!!! Oh, did I mention "The Genius" is my sister... I'm a little biased, she has great genes!

A Production Company Worth Noting...

Today I had the pleasure of shooting promotional photos of the talent that makes up Intake Studios. If you are unaware, I started my career at Full Sail University where I studied film. It's great to see a company in the Midwest creating such great media on a national level. In short... WORD!

!! Announcement !!

I'm terribly sorry to announce that I will no longer be doing work for friends at a discounted rate. The headache that comes from offending your friends over money kills me. I love all you guys and want you all to have great photos of your kids and your families. At this particular moment in my life I can't afford to work for 1/2 off. I hope one day that I will be able to shoot for all of you and not charge you a dime!!! This has nothing to do with any one situation, I just don't want to lose any good friends over a business transaction that doesn't seem fair to one of the parties involved.

I have a business to run. My true friends want to see me succeed and those of you will understand. Love you guys!
