I took a break from designing and sketching ideas for this weekend’s event setup to check the web feeds. Had a good laugh when I came across this napkin art. I’ve had some pretty cool photography instructors, mentors and inspirations. Still nobody illustrates his or her work as simply and geek friendly as the famous [...]

A duet of the photographers found in Stacie & Bryan’s gallery. Stacie’s daughter Lexi asked if she could take a picture with Sara’s camera, so while Sara instructed her I photographed the lesson. Voila - photographer double shot.

This week was all topsy-turvy. Hard to describe the feeling. Lots of changing weather, lots happening at home, lots of work to do for all the cool couples working with us to wrap up their super cool wedding albums. It never slowed for a second.

Something new - fashion?

Posted by eB on October 30th, 2008 filed in b&w, photo, thoughts

Today I joined creative forces with cohorts from the Creative Underground to photograph a selection of River’s Mark Trading Co.’s handmade Turkish bead necklaces and bracelets. It was nothing near the frenzy of America’s Next Top Model but it was our model’s fashion debut. (She did great!) I had to share a sneak preview from [...]

Saturday we had an absolute blast with newlyweds Stacie and Bryan and their families. We started off at the Hair Connection salon where both Stacie and her mom Brenda do some excellent cut, color and styling!

I love the colors and textures found in salons.

It was fall today, the way it should be. Cool weather not above 60˚ starting with some rain this morning. Golden sun and leaves beginning to fill the yard. Adrian wearing fuzzy warm clothes as he crawled and climbed all over the place. Hot cocoa and apple cider for breaks.
I was [...]

Seeing Something Invisible

Posted by eB on September 27th, 2008 filed in art, photo, thoughts

If you’ve looked at a photography magazine or seen any photo-centric websites or forums you know there’s been a tidal wave of new digital SLR cameras flooding the lineup of already pretty awesome cameras out there. Newer, faster, shinier, a couple extra megapixels… it’s crazy how quickly new cameras are being introduced!
This summer it was [...]

Butterfly in the sky, Newlyweds fly twice as high!
It’s 2am and I started singing the Reading Rainbow theme song while editing this shot from Melanie and Mark’s wedding last weekend. Definitely time for bed but wanted to get this favorite photo up to see first. Instead of having birdseed, bubbles, petals or any other kinds [...]
