Those eyes!

There is something really special about this little boy, and it's his EYES! They're enchanting, and oh-so-blue! (gotta love the drooly face too!) Thanks for a really great day, you guys. I sure had fun.

Lucky Kid!

This picture just makes me think about how lucky this little guy is! Look how his parents adore him - and he knows it! Oh, to be a kid again...

The timeless aspects of Patrick Lichfield’s work

More creative work

I am having the best time working on pictures of this little girl. She was so confident during our session, happy to lead me around her yard and come up with fun ideas for pictures. My photos always turn out the best when they begin with my subject's ideas - it makes them real, and helps portray...

Feeling Artsy

I'm feeling a little artsy today, so I thought I'd share some of my more "out there" pictures from a recent Iowa session. This little guy was so talkative, and such a great spirit. We were working in scorching heat - I couldn't have asked for a sweeter kid, and a nicer family!

Water Fun!

This was a challenging session with different lighting everywhere I went, and a boy who was avoiding the camera, but we all had fun!

7 Days

So I see it's been 7 days since my last post. In that time, I've flown on 4 airplanes, photographed 7 families, tidied my house, and hosted a party! I've got lots of great pictures to share from my trip to Iowa City, but it will have to wait. Great Art takes time and patience, my friends. Time and...

Anaheim Gardenwalk is not Photographer Friendly

Recently a new mall opened in Anaheim called Anaheim Gardenwalk. I had some work at the theater there yesterday. Inside the theater they were super nice to me so this isn't about them. But as I was leaving I wanted to take a few photos so I could blog about the theater and maybe give them some good...

I am sure many of you know what I am talking about, the...

Photos your photographer won’t take at your wedding….unless you ask for them!

Photos your photographer won’t take at your wedding….unless you ask for them! It has been my experience, with 40 years as a wedding photographer, that the most forgotten people when it comes to photos at a wedding are often the individual parents of the bride and/or groom. Most photographers...

Print Sizes

There are a number of different paper formats available to photographers, an explosion of choice we have seen since the advent of digital. However, the idea of sticking to a specific print size seems ridiculous to me. In my Lightroom develop module the crop tool gives me many preset crops for...
