LC and James

LC and James

Posted by on May 31, 2013 in Blog, Photography, Portrait | 2 comments

My beloved sister LC and her fiance James are getting married in July, and I had the honor of doing their engagement photos.  We decided to do the shoot at the local park to reflect their playful and bright personalities. I’ve never had so much fun on a shoot!                             As a little experiment I did a stop-motion cinema of the two using the continuous shooting mode on my camera.  I compiled it on Photoshop. It’s a little fast and the scene would have benefited greatly from a tripod, but it made a for a fun and cute addition to this great shoot....

What I’m Made Of (Mosaic)

What I’m Made Of (Mosaic)

Posted by on May 26, 2013 in Blog, Creative |

It’s hard to know where to start when describing my sister LC. There are so many facets of her personality that are wonderful in their own ways that she almost defies description.  I tried to express that in this mosaic of her.  This image is comprised of 113 different photos I’ve taken of her over the past year or so, and I assembled them using an awesome program called AndreaMosaic. After the program put the image together, I took it into Photoshop and tweaked the saturation and contrast with adjustment levels, overlaid the original photo on the mosaic at a low opacity, and used a large, soft white brush to clear out the background and soften the edges. It was lots of fun to...

“I Spy” Scanography

“I Spy” Scanography

Posted by on May 26, 2013 in Blog, Creative |

  As a kid, one of my favorite pastimes was perusing Scholastic’s “I Spy” books (The Spooky Mansion one was my favorite!).  The idea to make an I Spy game of my own struck me suddenly in the middle of the night with a surge of nostalgia.  I raided my roommate’s trinket hoard for most of the items you see here.  My sister and I carefully arranged every piece on a scanner bed, and allowed the scanner to “photograph” our scene.  It took about thirty tries to find a configuration we liked, but it was so much fun! The only thing that’s missing from this I Spy game is a riddle by Jean Marzollo to tell viewers what to look for! What kind of things can you...

Annie was the first of the models I had the pleasure to meet at the Sky Mountain Lodge shootout. Her warm personality and classy style made her an absolute joy to shoot. I don’t know many people that can pull off this shade of red, but she really rocked it! I used all natural lighting for these shots and no editing.  ...

Jacob’s playful demeanor contrasted sharply with his serious expression when he played his violin.  I was able to shoot Jacob in the hayloft near Sky mountain lodge, allowing for dramatic lighting and a rustic atmosphere.          ...

My first impression of Tiana was that of a shy teenager. Fortunately, she warmed up quickly and soon proved that she had the most adorable dimples! We were in for another surprise after she changed into her second outfit.         Tiana’s second outfit had a distinct 20s flair that I just ate up!  The color was gorgeous on her and I loved her attention to details, from the fascinator to the gloves....
