living is like this: sneak peek for the wheatons
this is sort of a peek for my brother and his family. i shot them a couple of weeks ago now and my sister-in-law is about to give birth, maybe any day/hour/minute now. i think if i had ever needed a push to my desire to be a father, that door was completely busted wide...
mini-session day one: family love aplenty
in webster’s dictionary, a ‘mini session’ is described as: “a hectic day wherein a photographer tries to squeeze as many families into one day, while getting great photos for the clients and keeping themselves from going over unhealthy levels of blood pressure…” okay… my dictionary may be out-of-date, granted. but, to some photographers, the words...
melissa: a very special TTD
TTD is another common term for photographers to use (i.e.: e-session, SOOC, etc.) that sometimes we will just say and people will cock their heads to the side a little.

shane & heather: laguna wedding
so, this is how word of mouth works. you do photos for someone, they tell a friend about you and you do their photos for their christmas cards. they, in turn, tell their friend to check you out as their potential wedding photographer. bam! not exactly a math problem that good will hunting would be...
olivia: a playdate in the fog
i met olivia through a fellow photographer and good friend, tracie. we had a “photography playdate” with olivia (amongst others) previously and i kept in touch with olivia for future shoot possibilities. some plans went awry this day, and by the time we got to the beach, it was enveloped with this thick bank of...
kristen: a belly out and about
when my wife told me that her friend wanted to have me take pictures of her shortly before her due date, i was thrilled for the honor and the opportunity. i got into “meeting of the minds” mode with kristen to find out what direction she wanted to go with the photos. when she said...
