And the Christmas get togethers start!

So last night we went to  Jeannie's aunt Betty's house for our first Christmas get together this year. We had a great time seeing a lot of Jeannie's family. Good food, great company and a little football talk makes for a great evening. While we were there I took some pictures for Jeannie's family, wish I had brought more than just my 18-50 lens and a 430ex flash...used some nice light coming in from the window for my main light and bounced the flash in manual to balance with the ambient...could have done better with my triggers and an umbrella, but part of being a good photographer is being able to produce shots in less than optimal conditions.

My Journey at Imaging USA 2024

Hey fellow photography enthusiasts! I'm still buzzing with excitement from my incredible experience at Imaging USA 2024, hosted by the Professional Photographers of America (PPA). This past weekend was an absolute whirlwind of inspiration, education, and sheer photographic magic.

📸 **Capturing Moments, Creating Memories: A Year in Reflection** Happy Holidays, dear readers! As 2023 bids us farewell, I find myself pausing to reflect on the incredible journey this year has been. To all our wonderful clients, thank you for entrusting me with your precious moments—it has been an honor capturing the essence of your stories through my lens.

Modeling Portfolio....

One of my wedding clients contacted me recently wanting to start her modeling portfolio. Since she didnt have any shots at all, I wanted to do some studio shots for her on white seamless, something nice and clean and crisp. Not having a studio posed a little challenge, but i reached out to a fellow photographer and worked it out so I could use his studio for a couple of hours. I also was able to enlist a make up artist at the last minute to do the hair and make up for me. Her experience in posing was a godsend! I want to give a big thanks to Alex Grace for use of his studio and to Loretta Goodin-Kendall for the hair and make up as well as helping with the posing. We had a great time and it was a great learning experience for me as well as my client.
