Yesterday morning I spent an hour with our friends Cord and Cara and their two kids Cameron and Carsen. I wanted a chance to do some family portraits before Cord deployed for Iraq this morning. Their family is very dear to my heart and I have been blessed to have developed a relationship with them [...]

Posted in Children Portrait Photography, Tools, photography business, tagged editing, photography, Photoshop on March 28, 2008 | 2 Comments »
It’s been a couple of days since I’ve taken any photos. It’s been busy enough that I’ve gone two full days without even using my camera. It’s also been a couple of days since I’ve posted to my blog. I was going through photos that I’ve captured during the past few weeks, looking for some [...]
Hamilton & Henry

What do you get when you cross two boys under the age of 5, a dog, my two kids and cloudy weather? A photo shoot featuring Hamilton and Henry of course. Although the circumstances were less than ideal with cloudy weather and me trying to keep my own two kids out of the photos, the [...]

The last few days have been busy with Easter festivities. In addition to Adam and Kelsey returning home from school each day and sharing with us the real reason behind the Easter celebration (in fact, Adam has been walking us through the events of the Passion week), we also had time to get some Easter [...]
More on Depth of Field

I’ve had a few questions since my last post so I wanted to provide a little more information regarding this depth of field subject. And I promise, I will stay away from all the mathematical formulas (I was never any good at math) and try to make this as simple and understandable as possible. However, [...]
What Is Aperture?
Posted in Camera Settings, tagged aperture, depth of focus, photography on March 18, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Ok, so to continue (or begin, really) this week’s series on Depth of Field (DOF), I thought I would talk a little bit about aperture. Aperture is also know as f-stop. Bear with me now but here is my best attempt at simplifying what exactly aperture is and why it’s important.
Your aperture or f-stop setting [...]
Weekly Photography Series

Although I’ve always seemed to have a creative eye, one of the aspects of my photography that I’ve been working on for the past 5+ months is my technical understanding and capabilities. In order to further encourage that, I’ve decided that I’m going to start doing a weekly series that will focus on the technical [...]

I had the opportunity to visit the Friday morning ballet and tap class at the Children’s Dance Theater (www.geocities.com/childrensdancetheater/) in downtown Auburn. Miss Stephanie was kind enough to allow me access to her class room and what a treat it was. It’s such a joy to watch these young girls enjoy themselves in Stephanie’s class. She’s [...]

Well, we were honored to entertained my nieces Selma, Molly and my nephew Camber today. Oh yeah, their moms, Lori (my sister) and Ingrid (my sister-in-law) were here to. It was really good to see them and spend some time together. It was especially nice because they showed up with lunch for all of us! [...]

Well, in addition to this blog I now have my “official” Web site up and running. What a relief. It’s been a lot of work to get everything set up but I tried to make it as easy as possible by going with a wonderful vendor that provided the templates, content management system as well [...]
