Wedding dress years later

Tom and Jessica Engagement

I can't wait to shoot their wedding in October.

Sports Photography

I don't post many photos to this blog twice, but this one was submitted to a competition yesterday and I thought I would share it with you one more time. This is the photo that is currently on my home screen of my iPod and it's been there for quite some time. I love many things about this photo including the composition, the lighting, the show of talent, the show of strength, and the fact that it's my son.

Dance Because You Can

Lyrically its a horrible song (I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas.) There is no deep meaning to it. The melody repeats over and over and over and over, yet when the song came on, we danced. We danced like there were no cares in the world. We danced until our legs were tired and our faces hurt from the smiles on them. We danced just for the fun of it, and it was wonderful. We danced, because we could. We dance because we can.

Lightning Storm

My very first photograph of lightning. I know it's not a lot, but I captured it, and that's what's important here. My goal of posting a new photo every day seems to be slipping a bit. It's not from that lack of picture taking, for I have pressed the shutter several times in the last few days. I have a rocking high school senior photo session to post very soon.

Location Scouting for senior pictures

I came accross this fence when location scouting for a senior picture session. I love how the sunset was iluminating the fence on this one.

Irresistible Confection

I tried to resist this confection during last weeks wedding. I tried for a long time not to eat one, but I felt that I would insult the bride by not having a piece of her wedding cake. This is not your traditional wedding cake, and every bit as amazing as any that I have photographed. I just had to try one.

It WAS amazing. And I felt that I needed to run an extra mile to work it off, but way worth it.

Groomsman Playing Guitar

Here's a shot of one of the groomsman from last weekends wedding as he practiced the guitar for his big solo.

iPhone Photo Friday - Rental Car Sign

This week's iPhone Friday post is a bit of a vanity photo, but I like the perspective in this shot. When I get off the plane, the last thing I want to do is wait in a line for a rental car representative to punch a bunch of keys on the keyboard and stare at a computer terminal. I want to walk up to my car and drive away. That's exactly what I get with Avis and it's glorious. I see my name on the board and it tells me where to find my car. It's that easy and makes all the difference in the world.
