Matt and Alyssa are getting married on July 24, 2010! I look forward to capturing their upcoming wedding!

Emma is an adorable little princess, she just turned 6 months!

Cayden celebrated his first birthday with a cake all to himself!

I don’t think there is any discipline out there that doesn’t require practice. Studio photography definitely falls into that category. This past week I had the great opportunity to work with Lauren, Lauren, and Ashlynn in my studio. They were very patient as we tried different lighting patterns, backgrounds, etc. I learn something every time I work in the studio and this time was no exception. I’ve been working with my Canon 5d Mark II and didn’t realize that the flash sync speed was 1/200th instead of the 1/250th I’m used to from my other cameras. It didn’t take too long to figure this out once I started seeing a black bar down the side of the photo.

Nikki Hynek, http://www.nikkihynek.com/, came over and did makeup for all the models. Soon we will be offering a packaged deal for your glamour photography needs.

So I’m a little biased because they are related to me I recently did some family portraits for my Aunt, Uncle, 5 cousins, and their families. We setup a background with 2 strobes in my Uncle’s shop for a make shift studio. We had a lot of fun and it makes for quick and easy Christmas presents!

I went to Kansas City on December 5th to shoot a corporate holiday party. We decided to do a “formal” type shot of all the couples and groups as they arrived at the party. It was speed shooting at it’s best. I shot over 150 couples in just over 2 hours. It really forced me to think on my feet as I had very limited time to work with each couple. These are some of my favorites from the formals. I’ll write another post in a day or two with pictures from the party.

The party was held at the beautiful Webster House which was a very unique setting.

Pure love
