There is a first time for everything. It's not usual for a guy to attend a bachelorette party, even if that guy is the photographer. Well, that's what my friend told me. When I was asked to shoot it I didn't mind. When the time came to do so, I felt a little out of place, but it was fun. I can't post any of the pictures online, so this main image that you've seen is all that I can use... I'm so happy for Amy and Cory, and I cannot wait to photograph their wedding in a couple of weeks! Congrats.

Brannon & Sam are now a married couple. Congrats! If you are reading this thank you for letting us two, me and my assistant photographer, photograph your wedding. My assistant spent a day with Brannon while I spent my day photographing Sam. She was amazing, letting me leave some of my equipment in her bridal suite. I arrived at Sam's at 2pm and I started photographing her while she was getting her makeup done. A couple of hours later we went to church where Sam got prepared before the ceremony. The ceremony was wonderful! Good luck to you guys. I can't wait to finish designing your album...

Looking for different locations is getting harder. Many places in our areas have a no trespassing sign. This is one of those...

Retouching: From Boring to a Little Something
On June 13th, 2011, I gave a retouching demonstration at the White Hawk Country Club in my lovely town. Many customers come to me with plain images asking whether anything can be done to enhance the look of their not-too-exciting images. Therefore, I decided to take a simple snapshot of a friend next to the window in my bedroom. In less than an hour I was able to show them a few basic tricks so that they can do the same…. It was a fun experience.
We had two other speakers, David & Alley McKay. They are a couple of very successful photographers....
