This week was full! Hanna’s new schedule has allowed me a little more time to schedule some long overdue photography, and I have also been busy finding a new assistant manager candidate at the “real” job. From Erik and Iris on Saturday, then on to Amanda and Eli on Sunday, I had a full week […]

It’s been awhile since I posted last, and I lot has been going on, most of it good. It’s been so long since I’ve updated the blog, that I’m not sure where to start! I ended up second shooting with Rachel for three weddings, changed some gear around (still working out the kinks here), and […]

There’s not been a whole lot of exciting things going on for me in the photography world, so the blog has gone a bit neglected. Fortunately, some things are starting to fall into place, so I have something to write about. First, there is the subject of this post: weddings! Specifically, I went from nothing […]

In my non-photographic life, I am a restaurant manager, so it would seem natural that I would do some food photography. However, before we decided to update our aging website, I had actually never even attempted food photography. My coworkers asked me to try my hand at the photos, and I figured it would be […]

Normally I wouldn’t care when new compact point and shoot cameras are introduced to market, since no matter how good they are, they tend to fall short of my needs. SLRs tend to be the only cameras with both the image quality and the speed that will get the job done well. I also don’t […]

I’m not sure what it is about this image of an old sofa I found, but I keep coming back to it, intrigued. It seems somehow important to my development as a photographer. Maybe it’s the starkness of it, the bone whiteness of the sofa against the weirdly blue sky. Whatever it is, this image, […]

There’s been a lot of seriousness in our lives lately, so it’s nice to be able to post something a bit cheerier. I’m not normally one to go crazy with post processing, but Trish loves pink and it just suited this set somehow. These photos are from our good friend Trish’s 29th birthday party. I […]

Darius, I just really wish you could have been here to see all the good people who were celebrating your life. Hopefully, you did see it, and know how much we love you.

I am so sad, and so angry, and so full of sorrow–more than I have ever felt in my life. I feel alone and isolated in this house, the silence broken only as others call to make sure I’ve heard the news. I don’t know what else to do than to honor your life here, […]

I try not to put up too many photos of my son and my goddaughter on this site, since I want to show that I love photographing people that I don’t know, too! Sometimes, though, I just get a moment so right, and so beautiful, with these two that I’m moved to post it, damn […]
