Super Awesome Villians Forever Tour at Goshen Theater

eB — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 20:45:26 +0000

More in the loud music / fast action / dim lighting category of challenge. Also a first I’ve seen of the Goshen Theater’s Backstage Show style setups, nicely done!

Two favorites, two variants of same angle & subject.

The daunting glance of Jake of True Vision Promotions and The NOTE Venue. You’d think after a guy proposes and gets engaged to his sweetheart at a loud rock show he’d look a little happier.

“You will rock or there will be consequences.”

Geek speak – gear I used was a simple kit of a Nikon D7000 DSLR body, Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 plus Nikon 105mm f/2.8 Micro-Nikkor, SB-800 turned down to 1/128th power for some shots. Mix of slow shutter speeds, rear curtain flash sync, high ISO settings, fill flash and dumb luck being in the right place and anticipating some cool stuff.

Happy New Year & Christmas Too (Snow Day Catch Up)

eB — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 22:47:08 +0000

We finally got our White Christmas weather in northern Indiana… a week or so late! Since it was more of a muddy and gray Christmas here we burned off some cabin fever energy and let the kids get into Christmas PJs for some photos that matched the magical snowy weather outside. (Neither were too picky that it was early January either.)

Adrian - almost 4 and a great big brother

We hope you had a Merry Christmas and a great start to 2012!

Katie & Lawrence’s Snowy December Engagement Anniversary Portraits

eB — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 22:50:44 +0000

Perfectly fitting snow day post. (Reports of nearly 2-3 feet of drifting snow in the last 24 hours here in South Bend!)

Just before Christmas Katie and Lawrence caught up with me for a sunny and snowy winter engagement session. Turns out the date was the 1-year anniversary of their engagement! In addition to the celebration it was also a perfectly mild winter afternoon to head out to some trails for great photos and good laughs along the way.

Congrats Soonlyweds! We’re loolking forward to your autumn celebration ahead!

See more of the session in our proof gallery, facebook, and engagements page. Enjoy!

Tyler & Dakota’s Winter Engagement Session

eB — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 22:33:03 +0000

We wrapped up December and 2010 with two wintry engagement sessions before Christmas and 2011 arrived. Started the year’s finale with Tyler & Dakota on a bitter cold morning downtown. 9:00 am sounds like a good start until Indiana winter decides to blast you with icy wind! We ducked inside nearby buildings between gusts of wind for a mix of indoor and outdoor wintry engagement portraits.

The snow’s back in Indiana in full force today, stay toasty! Drop us a line to set up your own engagement or portrait shoot!

Gallery Debut – Rescheduled to March 7th

eB — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 21:21:03 +0000

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 snapping photos ever since. Unknown to the 8 year old in 80s clothes, across town a little girl was picking up cameras, colored pencils, paints and creating artwork of her own. It would be another decade before they would finally meet…

The century would change and they would each hit the road and live abroad on separate continents. And then one summer afternoon back in Indiana in 2002 they would meet up to share travel stories and photos and start to fall in love.

In 2005 he asked Sara to shoot with him at a friend’s wedding… and they were hooked.

In 2006 they would stand in front of the cameras out in the green grass to celebrate the ceremony they have photographed together… a wedding day. Our wedding day!

The rest, as they say, is history!

To kick off our 5th year photographing together, this March we’re proud to present our Photography Gallery Debut.

Come celebrate with us Saturday, March 7, 2009 as we kick off our very first Gallery!

Saturday, March 7th, 2009 – 7:00-10:00pm

Zack Arias sums it up in video

eB — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 18:32:46 +0000

“Johnny 5, now you are hitting the nail right between the eyes.”

Wow. I caught this video following Zack Arias‘ blog.

For those of you outside the photography world, this week is the WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) convention in Vegas. Yes, warm Vegas. Shiny, warm, not Indiana Vegas where rock star photographers show you shiny new books, cameras, software and toys related to making you an awesome photographer. Everyone pats each other on the back and has sparkles in their teeth when they smile. They’re all booked for a year straight and still have time to travel the globe and make awesome photos, albums, software, and…….

It’s my week of skipping almost every single blog post, Twitter tweet, and email news update from these photographers because one stuck in a rainy, snowy gray Indiana can be quickly overwhelmed at reading “this is so awesome” so many times a day while feeling totally left out of the fun. (And I’m pretty sure it’s marketed that way on purpose.)

And in this winter funk… much needed inspiration and reminders to push on have come over and over in the last week. This one sums it up best. Enjoy.

Power of Positive Thinking

eB — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 16:23:07 +0000

Ok, it was more than positive daydreaming, it was an entire city, state, and region of the country getting tired of the cold. But finally, WE’RE ABOVE ZERO AGAIN!

This marks a 33˚ difference from the record-tying -19˚ it was yesterday.

Stay toasty. I’m gonna go enjoy some positive temperatures.
