New Project

admin — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 07:04:14 +0000

Well, life has definitely been busy these past few months. I am finally all caught up with photos and ready to take on a different assignment for a few months.

I have teamed up with a few friends and created Project 52 (www.project52.net). We are taking a themed photo per week and seeing how far our creativity will take us.

It’s a fun ride and makes us all think a little more about why we are photographing at all. It’s a great way for me to let out some creativity and regain some new perspective on things.

Check it out, and email us with suggestions, comments, theme ideas, encouragement, etc. as we challenge each other and ourselves.

Here are a few samples from our most recent themes.

Self Portrait - My Angry Side

Self Portrait with my Grandfather's camera

Reflection - Looking into the mirror

Ben & Sarah

I have known Ben for a few years and had several opportunities to listen to his music and see him perform. Check out his myspace page here. I knew that taking their photos would be nothing short of an experience and I have to say that Ben & Sarah were a blast to work with. They were up for pretty much up for anything and made each other laugh all afternoon. It’s a great experience to be part of something special and I am looking forward to their wedding in a few months.

Concert

admin — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 03:36:02 +0000

It was a nice break in the middle of senior photos and weddings to be able to take part in my church’s worship concert. I even got to design the flyer for them and help out with the whole thing. We had a lot of fun catching up with some great people from my college years and getting to hear some amazing music. Videos are coming soon. Check back for a link sometime in the next few days, weeks, months, or whenever we get caught up with all of the photos…..

Kindra 2nd Shoot

admin — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 03:32:04 +0000

You know those times when people tell you that they have some cool stuff sitting in the middle of a field, and that it might be a cool place to take photos, and you’re not sure what to think? This time it was definitely a great place. Some friends of ours had some amazing stuff randomly sitting in the middle of nowhere and we went a little crazy taking photos as soon as we got there.

Since we took the first round of Kindra’s photos this summer, she wanted to get some pictures after the colors had turned and things had cooled off. I am definitely glad that she decided she wanted more. Kindra was game for whatever we wanted to try and we had a great time trying out some places around our friends ranch.

Taylor

For whatever reason, I keep lucking out and getting beautiful weather for outdoor photo shoots. Taylor must have brought some good luck with him and we had a perfect weather day in the middle of a lot of not so nice ones. He also brought his pick-up along too and it’s honestly the first time I have taken photos of someone with a vehicle that wasn’t abandoned or sitting in the middle of a field. I thought I would try some places around town that I hadn’t used before and I think they fit Taylor pretty well. I’ll post more on here as I get them done!

Elliot

admin — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:18:10 +0000

I had seen Elliot around for a few years, shot a few photos of him playing basketball, and knew his family, but had never spent any time with him. After a few hours, I have to admit that he is a pretty cool and down to earth guy. We roamed all around town trying to find something that would fit his personality, and even got to spend some time in the gym watching him dunk a few basketballs.

Zac

admin — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 06:16:04 +0000

We were hoping for decent weather and a little bit of sunshine, and somehow we lucked out…although most of Zac’s shots were inside anyway…I love being on location and working with what is there…I’m not much for “studio” photos since they rarely show someones true personality and I think Zac’s were no exception…we found some great places to give him some unique photos that fit his personality and it was a great way to spend some time on a Saturday…

Zach & Kendra

It’s been a little busy around here and with the snow approaching, we though we would try to squeeze in some family photos before the weather turns…We have known Zach and Kendra for a few years and glad to call them friends…their kids are great and a lot of fun and pretty much up for anything…It was a great way to spend a slightly chilly Wednesday afternoon with some great friends…

Jeff & Jennifer

admin — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 06:20:11 +0000

I love fall days…If nothing else, I love that there are leaves on the ground that add texture that you only get for a few weeks a year…Chadron State Park is a great place to take photos and the colors of fall were definitely starting to pop out while we were there…

I have known Jeff & Jennifer for a little while now and have known Jeff’s parents for a long time and can honestly say that when it comes to great people, they are all phenomenal…I was glad to be a part of their Saturday afternoon and it’s always a good feeling to be around great people…

Eric & Mandie

admin — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 05:34:45 +0000

If you have never been to the High Plains Homestead (www.highplainshomestead.com) it is worth a trip out to the middle of nowhere…Mandie & Eric allowed us to photograph their wedding, and it was a beautiful sunny day to be out in the country…Amy & I were honored to be part of their wedding and it truly was a great time and a smaller intimate wedding with a few of their closest friends….Mandie and Eric are a great couple and it was fun to see their personalities come through as we shuttled them around for photos…
