Last night, Ryan and I joined some of our dear friends at Fletcher Park in Mt. Zion to watch the fireworks. It was fun watching all the kids running around with glow sticks and other fun light up toys. Of course everyone was anxiously awaiting the beginning of the firework show and Ryan and I …
The Journal
The Drive to Improve…
As someone who really loved school, one of the things I absolutely love about my job is the need to constantly push myself to learn new things. I firmly believe that in this industry, if you aren’t constantly working to improve upon yourself and your craft – you will not succeed. The photography industry is …
House Update: June 22, 2012
So today I had planned to show you Ellen’s senior photos, but we had to reschedule their viewing session due to a sudden trip they had to make. So instead I thought I’d give you a little update about the new house/studio space we’re working on. It’s been over 8 months since our house burned …
Giving Thanks…
Today’s post is a short one, but it’s what I’ve currently got on my mind. I can honestly say that nothing makes my day like a thank you card or a kind email from a client. We photographers invest a lot of ourselves into our job and our work. We work long hours and late …
Some Love for my Daddio :)
Well yesterday was a wonderful holiday – Father’s Day. That one day a year we set aside to really celebrate how wonderful our dads truly are. Like so many other sons and daughters, we scheduled our Sunday around visiting with both mine and Ryan’s dads. I honestly believe that I have the best dad in …
A Poem about Photography – by James Metcalfe
I find words to be an incredibly beautiful and powerful thing (after photographs of course). Words provide us with the ability to share our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and ideas with others. Think of all the limitations we would have if we didn’t have words! It’s astounding really! So I decided today to share with you …
An Obsession….
So I have this mild obsession with color…. feel free to blame college, I certainly do! When you spend an entire year studying the different variations of color from brightness and saturation to color partnerships and combining, it’s hard not to be really particular about colors. I know I can sometimes annoy Ryan because when …
Memorial Day – House Update
As it is Memorial Day weekend, Ryan has the day off and (surprisingly) so do I. So we’re spending the day of thanks and appreciation for military men and women working on insurance paperwork for the house. Yes… the house fire may have been over 7 months ago, but we’re still in the process of …
A Wedding, Some Insight, and a Pair of Heels
This past Saturday was a wonderful day! For the first time in a very long while Ryan and I attended a wedding. That’s right – we attended one and it was such a blast! I’ll be honest it was hard to keep my camera in it’s bag. Ryan actually refused to let me take it …
Love and Words for Mother’s Day
As I’m sure you are all aware – yesterday was Mother’s Day. Like many other son’s and daughter’s, we scheduled our day around visiting with Ryan’s mom and my mom. I consider myself very blessed to have such a wonderful mother! When I was growing up, I was a brainiac (always had my nose in …
