Today I had a senior session with Alec. The session was fun and he was very interesting. He plans to become an underwater welder after high school. This interests me very much since I just got my scuba certification a few months ago. I am sure he will do great at it!

This image was shot with a beauty dish for the main light, a reflector for fill and two large softboxes at the rear pointing towards him. I really like how this image turned out.

Today we went to the Brown County Fair and they had a small (very) car show. This was probably my favorite car there. I have always wanted a classic Camaro and an SS would be perfect! I like the black with white racing stripes. The car sahow was the first time they have had it in a few years I guess, and there were only about 10 cars there. Maybe it will be better next year.

Today’s image is another senior portrait from yesterday. I have been fortunate enough to work with some great seniors this year and Dane is no exception. He also happens to be my cousin! Hard to believe that he is already a senior in high school. Makes me feel old, but I am so glad that I was able to do his senior portraits for him. This was an image that I did outside with natural light as the main light, and I used a little on-camera flash to add some fill.

Today’s image is one that I shot yesterday, but I didn’t get done with the shoot and backups until late, so I am posting it today. It is an image I created in studio, with a grid spot on my light. It is kind of an intense image for a senior picture, but I was looking for something different for him. I think it is an intense image and suits him and the topic.

Today’s image is a shot I took for a flower photography workshop I am taking. I decided to take it because I really love flower photography and I think it will let me explore my creative side a bit more. I found out about the workshop through a person I follow on the Tasra365 project named Michelle. I saw some of her work on there and really liked it, so I wanted to learn more. This was week number one. I am hoping to get a great group of flower images together through this class.

Yesterday I got to work with another class of 2011 senior. This is Sabrina. She was really fun to work with, and I really love this shot. I purposely blew out the background much higher than need be, so that I could get that highlight on her face, and kind of blow out her hair a little bit. I used my ring light as my main light for this one. It is by far, one of my favorite shots of the session. We did an indoor session of about an hour, and then did about 2.5 hours of on-location outdoor shots. It was a lot of fun, and I hope she had fun too!

Today I got to do some senior portraits for Katie. She was very fun to work with. She came with her sister and we had some good laughs while doing her pictures. This is one of her favorite shots from our session today. I have to agree that it is one of my favorites as well. She looks very relaxed and it has a nice casual feel to it. I shot her exclusively on the white background tonight, because we are doing an outdoor session this weekend, so we will get some different looks out there as well. I had a blast doing her pictures and I think this weekend will be another great session.

Today I got to do some family portraits for my wife’s aunt and uncle. They live out on a nice little plot of land that has some really cool buildings and nice settings for images. This was one of my favorite from the session today.

Tonight I had the joy to photograph a little 6 day old newborn! I always love photographing newborns. You never really know how the session is going to go. You can have a plan laid out, but they can derail it quick! that is why I always allow extra time for newborns. This adorable little girl did not want to go to sleep for us at first. We were finally able to get her calmed down enough at least to get the images I wanted and then she could be awake if she wanted to. This image is one of my favorites, because it is a setup I never tried before, and I think it turned out pretty good.

Today’s image is a bouquet of flowers I sent to my wife yesterday for our seven year anniversary. I sent her a bouquet of roses (her favorite) and Star Burst Lilies. She loved it and it was a huge surprise for her since I tell her I will never send her flowers and it has been about 5 years since the last time I did. I like to keep her on her toes. The image was shot on a white seamless background. this past weekend I watched Zack Arias’s lighting class on CreativeLive. The class was amazing! I learned so much and he is a really great teacher, but more importantly a really great guy. I highly recommend the CreativeLive classes and especially Zack’s work.
