I haven't been shooting like I'd hoped to be, but life just seems to be getting in the way lately.  Still, I was able to shoot a very dear friend's wedding and I picked up a new product client.  I've got another shoot coming up next week with another friend, but I'm not going to post those images here.  You can see those images on my website.  I've decided to make this my play area.  Stay tuned for more images.

I got the opportunity to work with a new designer the past couple of weeks.  Gorgeous stuff!  Intricate, delicate jewelry that still manages to pack a punch!  I was very impressed with their work and I'm happy to say that they were pleased with mine.

Product Photography

A while back I met a really sweet and wonderful woman who trusted me so much that she loaned me some of her gorgeous jewelry so that I could put together a shoot for her.  This past weekend, she trusted me again with her full collection so I could shoot her work for next year's shows.  I hope that I have done her work justice in these photos.  Here are but a few of her amazing designs for Chrysalis.  Find her at http://www.sulisstudio.com/

Jesse and Nick

Just before my vacation (which was soooo relaxing!), I had the pleasure of photographing two very funny young men - Jesse and Nick.  These two had me in stitches.  It's easy to see why they are best friends and why they will continue to be so.  I can totally see them as partners in a squad car, can't you?

This was Jesse's senior portrait session but he wanted to have his bestie and his girlfriend in many of the images.  I was happy to accomodate.  They were quite the trio.

As we have or will experience in our lifetimes, that moment when you KNOW you are done - be it school or whatever other milestone - is worth celebrating.

Off line

I will be out of town for the next week or so, so there will not be any posts.  I'll post images from my trip when I return along with other work that I'm doing.  Have a great week and keep snapping!

Fall is in the Air!

It is that time of year again...yep!  Senior Photos!  We start of this year with Christopher.  What a nice young man...full of energy and spunk.  It was a pleasure photographing him.

Ashley and Brian part two

I'm happy to say that Ashley loved her pictures.
