You’ve heard about it–Trash the Dress–well, we call it our “Couture Bridal” session and we cannot wait for the weather to warm up so that we can do a session or two! What is a Couture session?  Well, it is basically taking a beautiful client in a beautiful dress and photographing her in a completely opposite location–think urban, industrial, water, etc.  It is NOT about trashing a dress–it is about making a super-artistic image that is seen as sensual, editorial, [...]

We recently began offering our wonderful Gallery Wraps and they have been a huge hit!  If you love the look o canvas, but want a more modern look, then order a Gallery Wrap!  This canvas comes in an array of sizes ranging from an 8×10 all the way up to an awesome 30×40!  Most of our clients have been ordering the rectangular 24×36 size and I love them! The best thing about these Gallery Wraps are that they require no [...]

His image entitled, “Sunset Swim,” will be part of the print merit special exhibition at the Imaging USA Collection beginning in 2009!  His print will be seen by [...]

Our last engagement session in November was for Tiffany and Mark–and we even did a super-secret editorial formal session for them!  Before we did their engagement images, we met them at The Rivue Restaurant downtown and did some images of Tiffany and Mark in their formal wedding attire!  Even though they are not getting married until next March, they wanted to get some editorial style shots at this trendy restaurant–and The Rivue was kind enough to let us photograph our [...]

Sara and Chris met us up on Huber’s late on Sunday afternoon in November–the weather was perfect and we had a great time!  Sara and Chris are getting married next Spring and it is sure to be a wonderful day! Below is their image video–turn up the music and enjoy! And my favorites… Lovely blue sky… And we still had plenty of fall color! Casual and classic… I love the desaturation in this one! Sunset… And over at the winery… [...]
