Before the dance.....

A recent winner of one of my contests had me shoot pics of her son and his date to a high school dance. When I got to the area we had planned to shoot at we were greeted with a mob of teens and their parents shooting pictures with their point and shoots. I had planned on using a single strobe off camera with a beauty dish but it was so crowded I had to go to plan B. I really hadnt thought of a plan B so I just stuck a 550ex on my 5D and grabbed a couple lenses and off we went. My favorite pic from the session was a shot I snapped in between poses using my 200mm 2.8.Probably the best shot of the day...Hope you enjoy the set!

08 Mustang

Had a chance to do something I love to do! Shoot a car. I don't get a chance to shoot them very often but A friend of mine wanted a board done to display with her car at car shows. Had a great time shooting it and trying out a few new lighting tricks and play around some more with my 5D.

Band promo shoot...

I recently had the chance to shoot my first band promo shoot. If you are in southern Indiana and need an awesome band for your event, reception or whatever you should take a look at Second Day Romans. They are on of the best bands in the area.

Almost caught up...lol...

One of my best friends asked me to do some family pics for him, and once again I got pulled out into the cold windy Indiana winter weather....Even tho it was crazy cold and crazy windy we still were able to get some nice images. This was the first shoot I done with my new to me 5D....thats right, full frame goodness...I also discovered the beauty that is the 200 2.8L as a portrait lens...Sure you have to be a mile back from your subject and it makes it a little harder to shoot, esp without an assistant, but WOW is it worth it!!!

Tiffany and Chris...

Normally I detest shooting outdoors during the winter, but a friend of mine who is a wedding planner wanted me to do some pictures of her daughter and fiancee' so away we went all over town in the cold shooting pictures. As soon as we pulled into the first location and I started pulling out gear I realize I had forgotten my radio triggers for off camera flash...great! lol... So I had to improvise with a 550ex on camera...

Babies....

So between wedding gigs, I usually scare up a little portrait work. Just so happens a friend of mine had a baby and since I needed some really good newborn pics for my port I gave her a session as a gift. By the time I was actually able to schedule a setting with him, he was already a couple weeks old, but still pretty darn cute. So easy to work with, slept thru it all and never fussed..Got to love a newborn shoot that goes like that...
