**Capturing Moments: A Year in Review and Exciting Plans for 2024**



📸 **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.


This year has been a whirlwind of challenges and triumphs, as I navigated the delicate dance between running my photography business, pursuing further education, and stepping into a new role as an instructor at Ivy Tech Community College. Balancing these facets of my life alongside personal endeavors tested my resilience, but I'm proud to say that I faced these challenges head-on, emerging not only as a better person but also as a more refined and evolved photographer.


🌟 **Striking the Balance: Juggling Passion and Responsibility**


The delicate balance between personal and professional commitments has been a demanding yet rewarding journey. From freezing moments in time to inspiring the next generation of photographers in the classroom, each experience has contributed to my growth. As I close the chapter on 2023, I'm filled with gratitude for the lessons learned and the connections forged.


📚 **A New Chapter Awaits: Pursuing a Masters of Art in Art and Design**


Looking ahead to 2024, I am thrilled to announce my pursuit of a Masters of Art in Art and Design. The prospect of delving deeper into my craft and expanding my knowledge is both exciting and humbling. I embark on this academic journey with the goal of enhancing my skills and, in turn, elevating the experience I provide to my valued clients.

In the spirit of growth, I am excited to share my plans for expanding RB Photo and Design. To better serve my clients and capture even more special moments, I am on the lookout for a talented second photographer to join my team. If you are based in the Southern Indiana area and share a passion for photography, I invite you to consider joining this incredible journey.

Berna/Cole wedding

Another wonderful wedding! Even tho we got a late start on pictures and the weather didnt cooperate we still managed to get some great images and document the day. Another great and fun couple!. Here are a few pics from the wedding...

I have been watching some videos.....

A lot of videos actually, lol. And the one thing they all hit on is defining who you are as a photographer. To look at your images and see if you can tell what makes your images special. So I did just that. I took some time to look at my images and see what my style is and see if I could point to the things that make my images unique. Here is what I came up with. 1. I like to keep my images simple. I don't like cluttered backgrounds. 2. I dislike blown out skies so I use flash a lot out doors. 3. I dislike using textures and selective coloring. I want my images to stand out on their own with out a lot of effects. 4. I love black and whites & vignettes. 5. I shoot a lot in portrait orientation, probably 90% of the time. 6. I dislike shooting with a tilt. 7. I like my images to be contrasty. 8. I like longer focal lengths, I use my 85mm 1.8 a lot for portraits and here recently I have been using my 70-210mm f4 a lot. 9. I love shooting portraits wide open, especiall...

Its crazy...

I know this is supposed to be my photography blog, but I have been to pre occupied with the loss of my bestest pal to do much shooting. Today I was out in the yard with Bella, our other chihuahua, and the neighbors came out and asked about Charlie.  They were upset that he didn't make it. They told me how he made their day when he was outside and would bark at them.
