Beckstead Shoot

I just got back from a special shoot with David Beckstead in Pittsburgh PA. The models were great and we had great weather. Here are some of the images for the workshop.

Special thanks to photographers Paul and Cyndy Meyer for hosting the event.

In Pittsburgh for Beckstead shoot
Fun with the Kids

I had a great time yesterday spending the afternoon at the park. Kendra and I met our friend Jodi to shoot her two wonderful boys Evan and Keegan.

Keegan loved the ducks and Evan, well he was like every 2 month old and loved to eat and sleep. However,we saw a few smiles.

Bottom line the kids were great and a lot of fun. I can't wait to do it again.

Joann & Tom

WOW!!!!!

What a weekend! I had the pleasure of photographing Tom and Joann's wedding who were so much fun. This was truly one for the ages, and one that will last that long as well.

One of the most touching moments was seeing Joann's parents dance to a very special song played at their wedding thirty five plus years ago.

Oh yeah, the pictures came out great too. Congratulations guys.

Brad & Casey

What a fun weekend. Not only did I get the joy of shooting my brother-in law's wedding, but I also got to shoot with my good friend Cliff Batson. Lots of great shot to go around on what was a beautiful day for a wedding. I wish Brad and Casey a wounderful life together. To see some shots Cliff took you can visit his bog

The BIG Move

Well we are at the new house(I hate moving, but I love the new place) sorry I have not been blogging much, but things are starting to come together. In just a couple of weeks I will have a new website that will feature a lot of new work.

I have shot a lot of weddings in the past couple of years and my look has become more and more what I call west coast style. I can't wait to show you what I have learned from friends in the business.

I am gettting ready to start a major add push so dates will hopefully fill up fast. Stay tuned for the big reveal.

Niagara Falls

Since I don't have any weddings for a couple weeks I have decided I would show you a few images from some recents trips that Kendra and I enjoyed together.
The first of these trips was to Niagara Falls. It was extremely cold, but I am still in awe of the power of these falls. We only stayed for a few days, but had a lot of fun.

Liza and Brandon Wedding

Well with the huge threat of rain all day, the only ones to get wet were a few memebers of the bridal party when four fools threw some water ballons from their boat. That aside it was a beautiful day, and Liza was a gorgeous bride.

So far one of my favorite photos of this day was taken by my wife Kendra. I gave here my G9 to shoot around, and she captured an intimate moment between Brandon and Liza that I missed while they were on the dance floor.

I took over 1500 shots so I still have a lot of work to do, but here are some of my early favorites. Thanks Bradon and Liza for making me part of this great day!

Africa

OK.....sorry about the long wait. Since coming back from Africa I have been super busy with baseball, so I have not had much time for anything else. These images are from my lastest trip to Africa. I traveled to Ethiopia and Egypt.

We spent most of our time building a school, but we did get some breaks to play with the children and meet the people. The work was very rewarding.

After the hard work was done we spent some time playing in Egypt and Jordan. It was beautiful.

My Wedding Day

OK

It's time to get back to work, but before I do I thought I would share what I have been doing for the past couple of months. I have been on the other side of the camera planning my own wedding. Kendra and I had a wonderful time and it was a perfect day. A great way to start our new life together.

My good friend Cliff Batson shot the wedding with fellow photographer Jeff Wallace. They did a SUPER job! To see more images you can visit Cliff's Blog.
