a psychologist, a nurse and a dental technician walked in a studio...

I got a call out of the blue from Chelsea and she needed some grad photos done. She told me she didn't want the average run of the mill grad photos and started her web search to find something a little 'left of center' for her grad shots.

She also brought along Danielle and Devon since they were all graduating from Dal and we just figured we'd shoot em all together.

So these 3 beautiful girls walk into the studio all quiet and shy...and I wasn't having any of that! It took about 5 minutes to get them to start giggling and laughing and being themselves. I wished we had more time to shoot but hot tropical beaches and airport deadlines pulled them away!

here's a couple form the shoot. thanks ladies!

BRIDES 2009

I've worked many a trade show booth in my myriad of jobs over the last few years. I've brought fire to the people w the Prometheus pellet fuel basket (google it), drugs to the hypertensive and wood stoves to the cold and frigid...but nothing was more fun than our own little 8x10 booth at the BRIDES 09 show yesterday at the WTCC.

It was my first time in the show so I wasn't sure what to expect and now that it's over I wish it was a few days longer.

Marcia and I met some amazing and adventurous brides (and grooms) and I'm looking forward to some great shoots....in 2010!

One of my favorites was Melinda & Earl, who asked me if I would do a wedding shoot for them in their new Jeep YJ. WILL I!? September, 2010 can't come quick enough Melinda.

It's always fun to hang out and talk about wedding photography all day long both with brides and grooms and other local photographers. I had a chance to catch up with Alex & Kate (and Sophie of course) and my old friend Emma Rose who was always wayyyy smarter than me in high school.

Christa, from Felicity Bridal put on an amazing fashion show with some of her latest bridal gowns. I'm always a sucker for a wedding dress...here's a few shots from the show as well as the only photo i took of the applehead studio booth.
