Engagement Session with Stephanie and Andy

I spent a few hours last Sunday with Stephanie and Andy, a great couple that has hired me to shoot their wedding in September. We started out at their house where we got some fun shots with their dog, took a break to escape the heat and kick back with a beer, then headed to Hillsboro Village. We spent a little while there wandering around, got hit up by a pretty smooth talking bum, and made our way towards downtown. We stopped near Satco and then Union Station and when we arrived downtown, we headed up onto the Shelby Pedestrian Bridge which was more crowded than I've ever seen it. Despite being surrounded by a bunch of teenagers (one of which thought it as a brilliant idea to climb up onto one of the steel suspension pieces dangling over the river), we had a good time and were able to capture some cool shots. All in all we had a great time and you can tell that these guys are going to be a great couple together!

Here are some of my favorites. I can't wait for the wedding in just a few more weeks!

Corporate Headshots: A few examples

I do a fair amount of headshots for companies around town, but I don't usually post them. This time I figured I'd post a few from a recent shoot to show how it's possible to get several different looks in a short time at one location. We were near an office downtown and spent probably 45 minutes shooting. We did some inside the office and some outside. Here are a few favorites from the shoot. Most of it was shot with natural light with the exception of the of the shot of him leaning towards the camera with his hands on the desk. That was shot with one small flash and an umbrella.

Wow. No other words.

My studio manager found this on YouTube and sent to me. I've seen plenty of weddings and have seen quite a bit of wild dancing in my day, but I'm not sure anything has topped this. If you haven't seen this yet, sit back and enjoy!
