Yesterday we went out to scope the location and did a few test shots, engagement shots if you will. When we met up at our house they tried to play it off like they were camera shy. When we got to the location it was a different story. They were both relaxed and seemed comfortable in front of the camera. You can really tell how much these two love each other and we're very excited for their wedding day!
David & JamieDavid & Jamie are cool. That's all I'm going to say.
Photographing friends with the ring lightMy friends Lauren and Erin were kind enough to test out my new diy ring light today. This is a good example of what you can produce with your very own diy ring light.
Back in 2006 I shared how I made my own ring light with supplies from the local hardware store. I made a new ring light recently and wanted to share how I did it. This new version uses less power and looks good enough to take in front of a client/model (the old one was ugly).
New Ring Light Tutorial ComingI built a new and improved ring light. This is a sample photo of me, again at 3 am after I finished it. The new light will be more portable, not as dangerous, not as hot and more environment friendly (104 total watts instead of 800 watts). Look for that tutorial soon.
Maggie In The SprinklerYet another dog photo of my beautifully smelly boxer Maggie. This time I got the sprinkler out, a sort of drink slash photo shoot.
Dave and Crew HitchhikingThis is Dave Treadway, remember the other wedding and engagement photos I posted of him and his wife Susie?" Well here is another one!
Juan Pablo & Spark aka MonkeyJuan Pablo and his Boston Terrier Spark also known as Monkey. If you live in my area and haven't had your dog photographed by me and my lovely wife, you really should consider it. ;-)
Say Cheese - Nick, Casey, Harley, BossYou had to be there in order to get the title of this photo. I brought a pocket full of treats to this shoot and I got snubbed. Nick & girlfriend Casey brought cheese!
Mark and Jen - K-I-S-S-I-N-GAnother shot of the love birds. We had a limited time to shoot between the ceremony and reception so we were cooking through these shots!
Mr. and Mrs. HuelsingMr. & Mrs. Huelsing everybody! What a beautiful ceremony! Such a privilege for my wife and I to capture.
Hafiz and Jen HudaHow about some collage action from the Hafiz and Jen Huda Friends and Family Picnic? I fall under the friend / photographer category, by the way. ;-) (Huda Blog action here)
Hafiz and Jen HudaHafiz and Jennifer Huda, doesn't that just have a nice ring to it!? (No pun intended I promise).
Pet / Owner PortraitsI love pet photos, specifically pets-with-owner photos. This photo is of my wife Sarah and my dog Maggie. Wouldn't it be cool to have a portrait of you and your pet together? ...
Dave and SusieAnother shot of Dave and Susie. They're getting married soon!!
