Last Day, First blog…

February 1, 2009 – 3:33 am

Okay so it’s been a while since my last posted blog and seeing that I’m writing this on the last day of January 2009, hence the title. A little has happened since then, I’ve had a wonderful holiday season, from Thanksgiving to being at home in STL with my family for Christmas, to visiting my in-laws in San Diego for New Years. While I’ve taken quite a few photos since then (mainly during Christmas) my first portrait session happened to be with my sister-in-law’s family. It was a great session and meeting my niece for the first time was enjoyable too. Anyway this year will be a lot different from last year as I will be deploying for the most part of it as a result of my Naval career so in a way I won’t be doing many sessions. Sadly to say, I had to turn down at least five weddings that will be going on during the time I’ll be deployed and I’ll miss my children’s birthdays this year as well. Such is life….

I will however, be attending the WPPI convention this year which I had been trying to attend the past three years, but due to scheduling, I wasn’t able to make it. Hope to see some of the fellow photographers there who’s work have inspired me to do this well. Until next time…

Here are my in-laws family portraits.

Seun & Jennifer’s Wedding

November 3, 2008 – 2:23 am

Three weeks ago (Oct 12, 2008) I was happy to be apart of Seun and Jennifer’s really beautiful wedding. I was assisted by my own wedding photographer Heather Molloy who is probably buttoning up her last suitcases and moving to Sydney, Australia as we speak (or write, or whatever…) She’ll be truly missed, but I’m sure she’ll be back sometime. Anyway here are a few favorites of mine from the day.

This was actually an idea from the groomsmen… Captain Morgan’s anyone?

There were plenty more images I really liked, but for the sake of space and scrolling I’ll only post a few. If you would like to see the entire wedding shoot me your email address to get access to it. Thank you Seun and Jennifer for choosing me as your photographer.

Seun and Jennifer engagement session

September 25, 2008 – 8:59 pm

I met Suen and Jennifer at a friend of mine’s wedding which I also photographed. You can see a sample of that wedding in the picture bar at the top of this blog. Jennifer told me about their upcoming wedding during that time so naturally I gave her my card. So now they’ve booked me for their wedding in October and I feel privileged and honored to do it. I’ll be recruiting my own wedding photographer (Heather Molloy) to assist me and I know we’re going to create some timeless images for Seun and Jennifer. Here are a few of my favorites from their session.

I think they look very good together don’t you?

Here is one of my favorites. My car was actually in the background, but if you can’t tell where it was then I think I’ve done a good job cloning it out. I normally like to get things exact in the camera, but I had to make it work for this image.

I really liked this location and I’ll have to use it more often for other projects, you’re only seeing a small portion of it. I think Seun and Jenn were well dressed for the location or any location for that matter.

Starting to have fun at this point.

Like I said very nice setting!

I really like capturing images like these.

Can’t wait ’til the wedding!

A Photo Walk

August 26, 2008 – 3:36 am

Saturday (Aug 23, 2008) I was involved in a worldwide photo walk that was put together by Scott Kelby a best selling author on Photoshop and also a great photographer. It turned out to be a really fun day for me to actually meet other photographers around my area and just capture images of whatever caught our eye. There was a contest involved in all of this, but I didn’t care much for it, because for me it was an opportunity to just get out and shoot, which I hardly get the chance to do. The images are a little different from the norm of what I usually shoot, but I enjoyed the fact that it made me stop and really think about how I wanted to capture something even if I didn’t do to great this time. Photography is like any other art…it’s subjective so what make look pleasing to some may not to others. I’ve met a lot of great people that day and I hope I get to do this more often.

Kaylynn’s 1st year!

August 16, 2008 – 3:28 am

I’m blessed to have been around each stage of my daughter’s growth from birth to 12 months. I consider this an accomplishment for a military dad who’s probably been to more countries than US states. I’m also happy that I was privileged to photograph these stages. I say privileged because my daughter is a very beautiful baby and this is not just a biased opinion…God has blessed me with two gorgeous kids, but that was the easy part I guess LOL! Anyway here are the best pics in my opinion of my beautiful daughter.
