Dr. Brandon and his staff sure know how to throw a party – bring in a Good Humor truck full of ice cream, face painting and tattoo artists, games and best of all – prizes from a spinning gum ball style machine! This little guy has a mischievous look like he’s taunting you to take...
What I’d like to know is why there is no ice cream being handed out at the finish line for the adult race?! Kids get all the fun! This year’s Race for Justice is Saturday, JUNE 19th. Click here for more information. It is easy this year to register and ask for pledges online! Hopefully...
What happens when you place a 2-layer cake in front of a half naked one year old boy? THIS! Happy Birthday Corbin!

I asked Sam if he would step into the “camera zone” so I could test my lighting set up before the other family members were ready for this portrait session. Though this was just a “test”, it is one of my personal favorites from the session but I couldn’t pinpoint the reason for liking this....
FALL – my favorite time of the year where everywhere are rich hues of gold, red, and orange. These warm jewel tone colors serve as great backdrops for portrait settings. However this time of the year also brings the threat of rain. Thus always have a “Plan B”. Corbin and his family came to our...
To produce a video of “little ones”, a compilation of my work photographing kiddies and babies, I’ve been reviewing images archived on old external drives. During my research, I came across this one of Leah. Her round little face with those big periwinkle blue eyes surrounding by swirling brown curls reminded me of those little cherubs seen...
This is another good example of using ambient light from a window. This image has a sense of peace. You can hear the little girl thinking “everything is right with the world when I sit quietly, sucking my thumb with Ruby purring loud behind me.” Hearing about all the turmoil in the world on the...
Whenever possible, my lighting choice is ambient light. Windows are a great source. When using digital capture, I meter my exposure on the lighted area – not the shadows. The larger the difference in f-stops between the light and shadow areas will produce a dramatic lighting effect. Jackson is fascinated with watching birds. I...
