So, my wife’s baby brother had a baby of his own — premature and beautiful. Better yet, Josh and Courtnie had a baby in North Carolina. Now, when my wife’s other brother had a baby (just two weeks ago), I coax everyone down to the studio for a quick shoot. Stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C., however,...
As we gain experience, the desire to teach and share ideas grows with every season. So when Adrienne decided to begin teaching workshops, it seemed like an obvious next step — new friends sharing ideas and vision. Saturday’s workshop was a validation for us that the workshop is indeed a fabulous way to gain...
Before the holiday, I started a new series (Anyone Can Do It). In the first post, I talked about the importance of knowing your competition. Often, we believe our competition to be a specific set of pro and semi-pro photographers in our price range and style. But, they’re not. Our competition is all around us, and...
**Baby Collections** BIG announcement for growing families or the first time mothers expecting a new addition! My baby girl is 18 months old… it’s amazing how the months have flown by. It’s given me a different kind of respect for mothers. It’s the hardest, most rewarding job that there is. My approach to ‘baby plans’ is a...
I try to pick up nuances during every wedding. There is almost always an underlying story, after all. And photographers generally try detect these. But sometimes, in the midst of the grandeur and pageantry of a wedding like Anne and Ryan’s, the story is obfuscated. Don’t get me wrong, this wedding had all of the...
I know a good wedding … Over the years, I’ve discovered a progressive satisfaction scale that conveniently describes the dichotomy between a fabulous wedding and mere event. It goes like this: A wedding is really just an event if I am moved to talk about sports or politics after the wedding. On the other hand,...
The break-up is always harder when you realize in later years … just how much you miss the relationship but not necessarily the girl. This distracting epiphany presented itself in the middle of a wedding a few years ago while shooting some bridal portraits. She posed for me in a fantastically rustic soybean field, mottled...
Not only does the Spring bring with it gorgeous weddings but it also brings with it wonderful NEW LIFE! I cherish each & every family I am allowed to capture throughout the years. I know you read this with every blog that I post.. but it’s the truth! I get to live through the best...
Ahhh… the Spring season is in full bloom! This means love is in the air & couples are getting married every weekend. Wedding season is officially in high gear. I’ve kept my wedding schedule lighter this year in order to spend more weekends with my own family. AND since so many of my previous...
It’s three o’clock and I am about to get caught. I am covertly sitting in the audience of Brooke and Jason’s wedding — an illegal vendor-in-the-pew sitting. Just three rows from the pulpit, ushers lead family members to their seats. The ushers see me but don’t seem too concerned. This is good. Taking a few deep...
