Britta + Kyle Engagement

The excitement is becoming overwhelming with the wedding just a few weeks away. With all the details set, we ventured out into the city to capture some great shots. Now that the sun doesn’t set until around 8:30 we had some great light the entire session. Britta and Kyle’s personalities came out in only a matter of minutes and the shots absolutely reflect it. Britta and Kyle, we enjoyed spending a couple of hours with you two. Thank you for being so daring for the sake of art. See you in two weeks!

Erin and Ethan:Seniors

They are never to old for mom to pull out the wallet of pictures of them growing up together. They stood patiently by while once again mom bragged about how special they are.

Erin and Ethan are special. They play a heavy role in their high school tennis teams. When they are not playing and winning first place, congratulations Erin, they are coaching. Their tennis skills are impressive and the passion they have for the sport is amazing.

Erin and Ethan, we had a great time hanging out with the two of you in Warsaw. We are excited to see great success in your future. Enjoy your senior year!

Logan:Senior

With graduation just around the corner, it was finally time to step in front of the camera. Logan will graduate in just a few weeks and I am so glad he waited to get his senior pictures done because our paths finally crossed. It was during this crossing that he told us of his dreams of being a firefighter for the city he was born and raised in, the beautiful city of Fort Wayne. Congratulations Logan on your graduation! Thanks for letting us be a part of this season of your life.

Happy May!!!

Spring is here and our schedule is in full bloom. Today I wanted to just give you a heads up on what you can expect from our blog in the coming weeks. Be sure to check back weekly for new posts.

It all starts this weekend with THREE Senior Sessions and a couple more near the end of the month. By the way we still have a few openings left for the FREE sessions! Contact us and we will get you in on the fun. Check back Monday for a look at our amazing weekend.

We also have two engagement shoots lined up that are destined to be a blast. (They both have wonderful stories to tell.) I can’t wait to meet back up with them.

Also in light of the so popular seasonal tradition of garage sales we are looking at hosting a Garage Sale! Not the come to our studio/home kind, but the come join us online kind. We will have products and services on sale for a very short time so be on the look out for those corny garage sale signs that sprout up on every corner.

Finally a random picture from my trip to Open Source Indy. OSPINDY was a gathering of photographers from surrounding cities and states. This one I call Happy Place. Where is your happy place?

Have a great day!

One Light and Big Announcement

I have always been a big fan of no debt. The photography industry offers products that just scream for our attention. It is very common to be told that this “new” tool will solve all your problems. Yesterday I spent nearly 16 hours at a workshop in Detroit. During the course of the day, the man behind the curtain was exposed to me. I found that there really is no magic bullet that would cure all my photography struggles. It came down to old school knowledge that so many these days fail to receive. Digital cameras bring great opportunities to the average person. It makes it easy for just about anyone to pick up a camera and start taking pictures. I feel that continual education in photography is a must in order to grow in my craft. This is why you will find that I never out grow learning from other great photographers like Zack Arias. I was honored to find out that Zack used one of my images on his blog …check it out!


The below shots may seem to have a theme to them. It is this theme that leads me to my next big announcement. We are now offering Senior Photography for all of those wonderful high school seniors. I want to bring a distinct style to this area of the market and I think the shots below are just that. Distinct. For the next ten 2009 seniors that contact me, I will be giving away a FREE session ($200 value) and a $75 print credit! Don’t miss out on this opportunity. I expect the spots to fill fast so don’t wait to get in touch with me.
