Jessica’s Bridal Portraits

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

We did Jessica’s bridal portraits here in my studio just days before her wedding: if you’re seeing this post, Jessica is now a married woman.

Her (now) husband Josh is a photographer, so I thought he would appreciate me mixing in some large format photography into the session. The first shot in this set was taken on a 4×5 view camera…. you know, the old bellows style cameras? 4×5 is the size of the negative, in inches…. These cameras create huge beautiful negatives, and have a whole range of movements that cannot be achieved with any other type of camera.

As you can tell, Jessica is a hat girl. I was thrilled to incorporate the variety of head-wear she brought along into the session.

Abby & Max’s Engagement Photos

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

It was a beautiful Easter Sunday to take some engagement photos for Abby and Max, who will be getting married as Scarritt Bennett on New Years Eve this year. We started the session at the Bicentennial Mall, and shot around the state capital building. We finished up the session back at my studio to work on shots in a very different style and look.

It was wonderful working with you guys and I’m looking forward to your wedding in December!

Commercial Work: Joanna Krupa for Powerplate Fitness

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

As some of you may know, I don’t just shoot weddings…  I also maintain a very active commercial business.  Its been a very busy winter for me, particularly with my fitness work.  I was thrilled when my contact at Power Plate Fitness got in touch with me about shooting supermodel Joanna Krupa as a promotion for their product.  They needed a poster for the IHRSA Tradeshow (starting today), handouts for Joanna to sign at the event, and misc website imagery.  We shot the set in a great studio in North Hollywood, CA called Glass Slipper Studios, and the incomparable Los Angeles wedding photographer Jason Q Tran was along to help out.  Joanna was a joy to work with, and we had a lot of fun on the set!

Enjoy the images!

Amy’s Portraits

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Amy Dale is a talented Memphis Wedding Photographer and a good friend of ours. I was thrilled and flattered that she contacted me to shoot some head-shots for her website, and also some portraits for her family to enjoy. So she drove up here to Nashville yesterday (braving some awful traffic), and we had a fun studio session. The incomparable Amy Lynn Larwig provided her makeup expertise on this shoot. Amy Dale is also a talented musician, and the guitar in one of the shots has a great deal of significance to her.

Thanks for the great session Amy!
