Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving is long past. . .

but I still have lots to be thankful for, like a family that will jump on command. See below for those and other fun pics from Thanksgiving, only 1 short month ago. Sheesh time flies and it seems to be only accelerated around the holidays for photographers like myself. Things are finally winding down for me though and I've finally got some time to post some of my most recent work so please stay tuned.

*Photo tip: Getting one to jump not only leads to great expressions/funny faces but quite often will result in jaw hurting belly laughs from those surrounding the jumpers. We had fun with this one.

Hangin' with the band Missing Piece

It's been a while since I've been backstage with a rock band but I was fortunate the other day to not only be able to hang out with the band Missing Piece in my home, but I was asked to photograph them for some new promo pieces they're working on. Well, it wasn't exactly in my home, it was more like in the garage. I had a fog machine set up for the shoot and I didnt' want the fog drifting around and stinkin' up the inside of the house. Take a peek at some of my favorite pics we got and make sure to check out their music here. It's good stuff. All the best to you guys!

'08 Senior: Zachary

Just like his brother Jordan back in '06, Zachary was the first Senior guy of '08 that I've photographed. My Senior season is right around the corner and I got a reminder of how much I dig shooting Seniors when I photographed Zachary. You rocked it Zach. I'm soooo looking forward to the coming year to try out even more techniques that I've been working on and to shoot at a bunch of new locations I've discovered. Enjoy these for now!

Married: Jeremy & Erin

From Superman shots at their engagement session to karate kicks at the reception (see below), Jeremy and Erin (a.k.a.- Grace Kelly) have to be one of the nuttiest couples I've worked with. . .and I love that. Below all of the nuttiness, they are truly in love and a perrrrrfffffect fit for each other. As as side note, major props to Willy (Erin's step dad and an amazingly gifted physical therapist). If it weren't for him fixin' my recent back problems, I wouldn't have functioned nearly as well as I did. I had so much fun with this couple and their families. Thank you for having me be such an important part of your day. There's lots more to come but for now check out some of my favorites.
