You are not boring. Why should your senior portrait session be boring? Zach came to the session with definite ideas of what he wanted and we worked together to create images that show his personality. He hunts, he’s at home on the baseball diamond, he loves his truck, and he
Respect & Honor
March 16, 2014

Welcome to the Studio
March 2, 2014

Two Little Blessings
February 19, 2014

52 Week Photo Challenge
January 5, 2014
I often get the question, how can take better pictures? Of course, the obvious choices are classes, workshops, countless hours of reading blogs like this, etc. But the number one way to take better pictures, is to take more pictures and take them often and with intention. If you want
A Guide to Crop Ratios and Photo Print Sizing
December 31, 2013
Why are my feet cut off in my print? Why does this look more close up than the original? Why is my 11×14 different from my 8×10? Remember the algebra you said you would never use? Well, it’s back!. When you print a photo, the part of your image
