Vacation Photography

I want my vacation photographs to feel like a vacation all over again just by looking at them! Seeing the scenery is not enough. Seeing the people you were with is not enough but capturing moments of action and emotion become memorable to not only you but those who were not even there. And don't be afraid to ask someone to do something again.."Jump off that mountain again, or stick that mud back on your face..." You and they will love having that moment to look back on! I also like to capture the scenery in a slightly different way. If God made the mountain, it's your obligation to uniquely capture it with your camera!

Family Portraits

Whether its for formal purposes or just documenting your family, capturing fun, spontaneous moments in a professional way is one of the greatest gifts you can give your family or friends. Everyone loves looking at family photos but not so much getting them done :) not only do i make it fun, but it has become a yearly tradition for many of my clients (shown here with the Dodson family)

Family Photography

Photographing kids is not always easy. A well seasoned actor or model are usually the most comfortable and willing subjects but the 2-4 yr old boy....not so willing! But I will tell you that the results are so satisfying that I grin ear to ear looking over the proofs...always!! The Willing are great to shoot, and I have learned that the Unwilling usually end up stunning! No fair I say!! :)

Results of the Last Poll!

2009-07-12T12:09:00.000-07:00

The latest poll asked what job have you done that gave you most flexibility to audition. Most said "Waiter/Waitress". There was a tie between Personal Assistant and working a 9-5 job (with an understanding boss) Real Estate Agent and TV/Movie Extra Work were out of luck! Check out this weeks poll and stay tuned for the results! :)

Commercial Print Modeling is...

2009-07-03T14:55:00.000-07:00

The photographic side to commercials. Pay is anywhere from $200- $5,000 per job. No residuals, but a good agent will negotiate re-use fees. The great part of commercial print is you dont need to be 5 ft 10 and 99 lbs. They like normal people to appeal to, well... normal people. :) Here are some examples that my daughter took on My brand new Canon 5DII.

Kids

2009-06-24T18:59:00.003-07:00

Kids need primarily fresh faced shots with a few character shots that show a casting director that they are not shy.....shy is the kiss of death so let their personalities shine!!

Variety in a Photoshoot

2009-06-24T17:56:00.001-07:00

I love to get as many looks as I can while still retaining the basic essence of the actor himself. Casting directors get so inundated by photos per each job so if you can have a marketing tool that more closely fits their need, they LOVE it!
