Something’s Different. And I like it.

Welcome to my new site, a combination of blog and portfolio in one. So many photographers maintain two sites: a blog and a portfolio site, and while I understand the reason for doing so, a combo site makes more sense.

From now on you’ll land here on my blog first where I’ll be posting my latest shoots and samples, but the rest of the site is right up in the navigation. You can easily get to my portfolio, find out information on booking shoots, what sessions cost, learn about me, contact me or read photo product reviews that I write.

This new site will allow me me to keep things more up-to-date and in one easy to find place. And that’s good for everyone, not just me. I hope you like it!

Self-Portrait Project | June 2010

Well, June was a special month for several reasons, but the biggest deal and most exciting news of all…I’ll let my little boy spill the beans.

Yep! Our family’s growing! My wife and I are super-excited and can’t wait to welcome our second child. He or she will arrive in the very early part of 2011. That’s the best news I’ve had all year 🙂

(My little boy doesn’t look too excited in the photo, but I’m sure that’ll change once his sibling is here.)

Junkyard Portrait Session

I’ve always wanted to shoot in a junkyard, and I finally got my chance! Kayla just graduated from 8th grade so what better way to mark that milestone than by making some fun portraits? She was a good sport and willing to get a little dirty and brave the rains. Oh the rain! For the first portion of our shoot is was storming like mad out so we worked with what we had inside—I have to say I think we got some great stuff in there!

The best images happened outside. Just before calling it a day the clouds broke and the sun came out. The junkyard was soaking wet, but the atmosphere and natural light were perfect for our portraits! So we got to work and made some excellent images.

Thanks for being a good sport, Kayla, and congratulations on your graduation!
