No rain no rainbows
Also no tornado, lighting strikes or hail damage.
Between stormfronts I raced up to Lake Michigan with Lauren and Andrew for a great engagement shoot on the almost deserted Weko Beach in Bridgman, Michigan.
“I was hoping for some lightning in the background… but you two are pretty electric!”(yes… I seriously said that. I was rather proud [...]

We celebrated Memorial Day with nonstop smiles and laughs from Emily and Michael. You would not believe how many photos I picked as my favorite already. TONS! Here’s one quick photo and a link over to their slide show of dozens more. Next week there will be hundreds more in the full gallery too!

Beth and Jeff’s Engagement Session
Memorial Day seriously messed with my internal calendar. From March till November my calendar weeks start on Saturday. This week, Monday became Saturday with a morning wedding and two evening portrait shoots. For all the caffeine I drank that morning and afternoon, I never felt tired out being on the go for 14 hours straight [...]

I am floored. So was my favorite lens.
During a shoot in an old theater’s projector booth, I accidentally pulled a lens of a table when my camera strap caught it. While in a moment of inspiration, I changed lenses and grabbed my D300 off the table after arranging lighting and props. The camera decided to [...]

It’s fair to say I did learn something from my college courses with Craig Sheaks, and tinkering with Nikon’s Creative Lighting System to get the flash and the light off the camera’s hot [...]

SURPRISE!
Went to get a snack while editing and… saw this mess.
LOADS of fun weekend photos to come – from breakdancing grooms to newborn babies. Figured I’d give the bad news first. Winter isn’t over?

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
Now that it seems Spring is finally here in South Bend, Indiana, everything is greening up beautifully outside. Today, of course, it seems everyone is trying to do the same for Saint Pat’s celebrations. (Of course, with the exception of my friend Joel who wore red in support of those with red/green [...]
If I had a band…
Insider secret! Part of the tech crew ritual at the Underground Cafe is, before the show, to take the schedule of bands playing, and *creatively alter* their names. Ya know, Sharpie some new letters into their already cool name. Call it boredom during overly-long sound checks, new bands on stage that say they don’t need [...]

Wow. That was a rush!
After the last few weeks finalizing prints, framing, preparing and all around brainstorming at high speed, it all came down to one great night of celebration with friends last Saturday!
Highlights of the night – and all were simply amazing:
We have the coolest friends and clients out there. Sara said it best [...]

We’ve rescheduled the Gallery Debut to Saturday, March 7th to make way for an even easier time for our out of town guests and friends to join us!
It’s been over 20 years in the making. Ever since 1988 when Eric picked up a 110 camera and wandered the neighborhood with camera in hand he’s been [...]
