Portrait—Jackie
A couple weekends ago, I had the pleasure of photographing Jackie. She was an entertaining one for sure. We had a lot of fun with her mom, the camera, and Bella, her Rottweiler. Thanks again to her mom for letting us shoot her daughter and have some fun. To see more photos, please visit Flickr.
Shooting Weddings: Inspiration
This is for everyone who has invested in a DSLR over the past few years and has either thought of shooting weddings or has been asked by a friend or family member due to their thought of either saving money or because the bride or groom isn’t aware of what goes into shooting a wedding....
Heading to Vegas!
So, I am flying out tonight for what wedding photographers refer to as the biggest must-see for our profession. I joined Wedding and Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) this past year because it’s helped with education, business, and understanding more about what it means to shoot.

Friday Finds…
Over the week I have been pondering things left and right. It’s amazing what you can uncover in the age of the internet. Since social sites like Facebook have happened, it’s amazing the networks and friendships you can gain just by the click of a button. As I mentioned in previous posts, thanks to many...
Wednesday Outlook
So, I listen weekly to This Week in Photography (TWIP). It’s a great show that covers the latest happenings in photography and the profession. This week (today), I was listening to an interview of Aaron Johnson. Who is this, you might ask? I didn’t know either until I searched What the Duck. Aaron is the...
