Meet Jerry. Recently retired from the Marines, he now does lawn care for a living. Being that I’m very busy/lazy, I was happy to have him mow our lawn. After he was done, he mentioned that he still needed to get some business cards made. I offered to help him out with a set, I [...]

Wasting Jeremy Cowart’s time
On September 8th, Jeremy Cowart did a live critique of photos people sent him. I thought I’d get in on that action so naturally I grabbed one of the best photos I’ve shot in the past few months (the one above). Out of all the random links submitted, Jeremy grabbed mine to critique. You can [...]

Impromptu portrait sessions
I make a point to always be looking for that next great photo opportunity. This is probably why I carry a complete lighting kit with me just about every where I go. You never know when a great shot will present itself. Or in this case, himself. I was shooting Devin and Mallorie’s wedding exactly [...]

On shooting furniture and marriage
Meet Mike and Brenda James. I’ve spent the past couple of days shooting in their furniture and antique store in Hico, Texas. You guessed it, we shot furniture and antiques.
There are some jobs that come through the door that motivate you to new heights of creativity. There are other jobs that come through the door [...]

When God gives you rainbows
You take advantage of them. This was from Mallorie and Devin’s wedding last night. We only had a couple of minutes to make it work, but I’m very proud of how it turned out. Sometimes every piece comes together nicely.

Mustang Sky
After an overcast day of shooting, the sky exploded last night at sunset. Combine that with an awesome couple and a classic mustang and it made for a great shoot.

6-19-09 Daily iPhone photo
Today’s photo isn’t overly exciting, however, I’ve had a few requests to see our new promotional material I made for this weekend’s bridal show. The top is a 5.5″ x 17″ brochure with all our pricing information and a little about us. The bottom card is a 4″ x 4″ card with our contact info. [...]

6-11-09 Daily iPhone photo
A photo of photos. I took a picture of the screen where I was working on the design for our new brochures. I can’t wait to get them in hand.
Taken with the iPhone with no filters.

International Man of Marrying?
Probably the highlight of last Saturday’s wedding was when Amber and Matt hired Austin Powers.

6-1-09 Daily iPhone
Lately, I’ve been drinking in every bit of knowledge I can to become a better photographer. Two wise words I’ve heard lately are “always be shooting” and “do personal work.”
In an effort to do both, I’m going to try to take and post a daily iPhone photo. One of the goals is to always be [...]

Lighting = Drama
I get a lot of questions about lighting photos even during the day. Usually it’s from clients who look at me funny as I drag flashes out while the sun is shining brightly. These were from a shoot tonight and I thought they nicely illustrated the difference even one light makes.
This was shot with available [...]

Congratulations Mallorie and Aaron
Last night we shot Mallorie and Aaron’s wedding at the UT Golf Club. I’ll be posting the full set over the next few weeks along with some of my favorites from her bridal session.
Congratulations guys. Thanks for being so great to work with.

The second shooter
The joys of shooting in public places means you usually deal with, well, the public. Most people are very respectful of the fact that we’re working, and we try to be respectful of others and share the space. But occasionally you run in to the guy who has to get a shot of the horizon [...]

Everyone should hate clowns like I do
Clowns creep me the heck out. But I’ll deal with that fear if it means watching the video above. It is easily the coolest thing you’ll see all day. As a photographer who also loves filmmaking, it seems to be a perfect match for what I would love to do.

Marketing for next year
I’ve been working on my current marketing for the past few years and didn’t even know it. Over the next two days I’ve got two interesting new-business meetings. The funny thing is, both contacts came from some work I did in the past. The even funnier thing is, they weren’t big flashy projects. You know [...]
