“It’s barely the beginning of October, and you want me to start thinking about Thanksgiving?!” Well, welcome to the world of graphic design, publishing, and commercial photography! For those of us who like to do most of our photography in the outdoors, I guess this can be a bit of a problem. For me, it […]
Have you ever gone to the same location multiple times in the same day, simply to observe what the place looked like at those different times of day? You would think that I, of all people, would have done this many, many times since I love landscape photography. But getting to a location isn’t always […]
It shouldn’t be hard to find Interesting Textures everywhere you go, even in places you’ve never explored before! As you just saw, I took lots of texture pictures. I thought I had done a pretty good job. However, it wasn’t until after I put them on the computer and started sorting through them that I […]
If this month’s photo assignment is to photograph The Bright Outdoors, than it means the best time to shoot is while the sun is shining, I’d say! But what happens if the sun isn’t going to be shining for very long? Then it’s time to take on an extra challenge! To see the photos I […]
In honor of Mom’s birthday, here’s a blog post about strawberry pie (from a photographer’s perspective)! 🙂 In last week’s Photo Coaching webinar, we discussed a good photography quote from Gina Milicia: “Beware of turning your images into Twizzlers.” Twizzlers are generally strawberry flavored.

This was a tough photo shoot to bring you along on! Taking video at night is quite the challenge. And that hillside! It is literally a field of thorns. But come now! Let me take you behind the scenes, and show you how that epic, pre-dawn trek unfolded! That was such an amazing photo shoot! […]
It was quite convenient that the current real-life Lenspiration Photo Assignment, Made In His Image, landed on the holidays! With Robert & Kendalyn and their family in town, I had ample opportunities to shoot it. However, not every opportunity turned out as I expected…. I really liked that first location. The brown, textured curtains and […]
Had a fun time shooting for the latest Lenspiration assignment, Autumn Artwork Reference Photo. 🙂 And here are my photos from the excursion. Not sure exactly how well they represent the sketches I was supposed to be copying, but hey, at least the pictures turned out kinda nice. 🙂
After most of my photography events were canceled earlier in the year, it was great to get out and do a workshop again in August! The Photography Field Day was held in the Ozark Mountains along the Buffalo River in Arkansas. I wouldn’t have been exploring this part of the country if I hadn’t been […]
