The Nose Book

So we rarely post personal photos on this blog, we have another blog for that :) But I thought I would share a perfect, snowy, lazy afternoon with you. Natalie loves her books. She sits and looks at them and mumbles a bunch of nonsense as if she is actually reading the books to herself. What she is saying makes no sense at all to us...but inside that always creatively growing mind of hers there is an exciting storyline being played out. Today it was the "Nose Book".  Such a fun time for us right now with the age she is at, and so glad we are able to capture moments like this through the camera!

Upcoming Events / Scheduling

Its hard to believe but Spring is quickly approaching...and for obvious reasons can't get here soon enough!! It has been an exciting Winter for us because not only have we been able to do many indoor sessions, but we have already booked family sessions, senior sessions and have a lot of 1st year newborn packages to complete this Spring. We are extremely excited to have 3 weddings currently planned for this summer and because of the amount of work involved with weddings are contemplating how many more to take on. It is an exciting time for us and we wanted to thank YOU for continuing to let us capture your moments through our work.

Those of you who might be attending this weekends Triton Hall of Fame banquet, make sure you say hello as we are excited for the opportunity to photograph the event.

Baby J

Meet baby Jaxon and his proud big sister!

Whats in our bag?

We often get asked what type of equipment we use. I think it is an important question because you are paying money for quality photos so there for your photographer should have "quality" equipment. Since day one we have always been Nikon users. We started with an entry level Nikon D5000, and still rely heavily on this camera. We have recently upgraded to a Nikon D700. We have had a crush on this camera for a long time so it sure is nice to add a full framer to our bag. As far as glass goes, the good ole nifty fifty is our number 1 go to lense (nikon 50 mm, 1.4). We probably use this for 90% of our shoots. We also have a Nikon 16-85mm, 3.5-5.6 that we use for wide angle shots. For a zoom lense we have a Promaster 70-300mm macro. Part of the fun in this is getting new toys and continually learning new ways to use those toys!

Little Ones

Meet Jackson and Miranda! Last week we had the pleasure of getting these two little ones in front of our camera. Newborn photoshoots are a lot of work, but capturing this cuteness makes it totally worth it!

Cant wait to see them again at 3 months :)

Free-Throw Face

One of the great things about shooting sporting events is the facial expressions of the athletes. Just by focusing on the face you can capture anger, frustration, excitement, exhaustion...but as I sat under the basket I took particular notice to the obvious amount of concentration and repetitiveness during free throws. Some guys open their mouths some stick out their tongues, but whatever their "thing" is I've noticed that they do it on every single free throw shot (I have multiple pictures to prove it). I bet after shooting thousands upon thousands of free throws it has become second nature / routine and they don't even know they do it. 

I have also been paying more attention to the expressions from the crowd...just by focusing on the raw emotion from the fans in the stands it is easy to create a mental picture / story of what is probably happening on the court at that time, that however will be a blog post for a later date.
