Civic Center Park E-Session

Last week we headed downtown for Kelly and Israel's engagement session. We started out at Union Station and made our way down to Civic Center Park on the free shuttle that runs down 16th Street Mall. Wouldn't you know it starts raining when were the furthest away from where we all parked. Luckily it only rained for a little while and we were able to get some more pics before we headed back. Israel (aka Rico Suave) and Kelly (aka Jessica... sorry) were a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to their wedding later this summer.

Shoot with Beckstead Day 3

So all good things must sadly come to an end. On our last day of shooting we went out to Centennial Airport and shot with some old WWII airplanes. We tried not to get the cliché "model/airplane" shots and think outside the norm. I had such a great time over the last three days and came away with some great friends. Poor Johnny Tran dropped his Nikon camera... must be a sign he needs to buy a Canon:-) Thanks to Suzanne & Jason Wille for hosting a great workshop and letting us trash their basement. Thanks Travis for always getting in my shots and to Susan Pacek who I have to second shoot with sometime soon! There are so many others this post could last forever so here are just a few images from our last day. Enjoy!

Shoot with Beckstead Day 2: Night Light

Here are some pics from the second day of the workshop. We were at Southlands Mall which I have wanted to photograph for some time now but found out you have to have a "special" permit to photograph there unless you want to get kicked off the premises- weird huh?

Shoot with Beckstead Day 1

I just came back from an awesome experience from the Shoot with Beckstead workshop. I never thought I could learn so much in 3 short days. I surprised myself with some of the images that came out of my camera- never knew I had it in me. I also was provided the opportunity to meet several great photographers some that live locally and others that unfortunately live very far away but nonetheless I made some great friends. Here are some pics from our first day in Georgetown. Check back tomorrow for some images from day two.

The Wedding of Lindsey & Nate

Last Saturday I shot Lindsey and Nate's wedding just outside of Genesee. It was a beautiful HOT BRIGHT Sunny day- not exactly the best for pictures but we made it work and got some awesome shots. I've worked with Nate for the last few years and have looked forward to this for a long time. He and Lindsey are perfect for each other. I'm so happy for them. Here are a few shots from the day. I love the one of the shadows cast by the girls in the sun- thanks to my assistant and brother Cody who helped me out for the day.

Shoot with Beckstead!

Hi everyone! I'll be gone for the next couple of days, I enrolled in a photographer workshop with world famous photographer David Beckstead and his wife Kassandra. This is an all day, 3 day class of shooting models and learning the art of the business. We'll be photographing on Georgetown, around Southlands mall, and doing some night shoots with video light. This should really up my game and give me lots of new ideas! I'll post some of my pics from the workshop within the next couple of days. Ta Ta for now.

Wedding at Murphy Creek

This past weekend I had the opportunity to photograph Piper and Travis' wedding at Murphy Creek Golf Course. Even though it was a VERY WINDY day we had a great location for pics. Their reception was full of lots of people having fun and partying all night. I met Piper and Travis through another couple whose wedding I photographed in September- Jeff and Stephanie who were also their to celebrate with them. Since Michelle has been sick and was not able to be there Matt with Artisan Photo helped me out with their wedding- thanks Matt! Here are just a few pictures I took during the day.

Second Shoot with Matt

On Saturday I had the chance to second shoot for a photographer buddy of mine Matt with Artisan Photo I haven't second shot in a long time so it was nice to relax and experiment with some cool shots. The wedding was at the coolest location! Matt and I were both saying "Look at it- it's built on a rock for crying out loud!" Here's a few shots that I took of the day.
