This past weekend I was in Irving, Texas photographing a friend’s wedding with my friend Rich Legg. The bonus for Rich was that he happened to have a lot of family really close by the same weekend we were in town, so he was able to spend the holiday weekend with them when we weren’t shooting the wedding.
The photo above is of Jack, Rich’s great-nephew, who was a very happy baby the entire time we were there … which definitely helped in the making of some really cute photos. :)
On a Plane November 27, 2009

This weekend I’m in Irving, Texas to photograph a friend’s wedding with my friend Rich Legg. I was having some iPhone camera fun during the plane ride, while Rich was taking a lot of photos with his G11 (mostly self-portraits, lol!).
It’s been a really long time since I’ve photographed a wedding (I did a few when I was in high-school, way before digital was mainstream). Now I mostly shoot stock/portrait type work, but I’m confident that I’ll get some good stuff. Rich has a lot of experience shooting weddings so he’s in charge of the “traditional” images, while I get to run around with a couple of cameras (one with my Lensbaby firmly attached) and get the “creative/behind-the-scenes” shots. Should be fun!

This weekend I’ve been pushing to edit a bunch of images I have sitting on my computer, most of them back-logged from earlier in the year and I’m finally taking the time to finish them and get caught up with my work. I still have quite a ways to go (more than 300 images still to edit and upload) but hope to have them all done in the next few months. My goal is to have over 5,000 images in my iStockphoto portfolio by the end of December.
This is one set of three images I thought was so cute … I really miss this little girl and her brother! They are the children of my good friend who I knew while I was in the Navy, and they just loved being photographed. (I have a whole collection of their images here in my iStock portfolio.)
Image in Use – "School Tool Box" Website November 20, 2009

Wow, it’s been a busy week, but I thought I’d sneak in at least one blog post before the weekend. :)
I was notified by iStockphoto about an image of mine in use (the designer submitted it to the “Design Community” section on iStock). They used several photos but it was cool to see that they used one of mine at the very top of the website.

Woman's World November 13, 2009

If you are at the grocery store and see a copy of Woman’s World at the check-out, pick it up, turn to page 12 and you might see a familiar face. :) In August when I was at the iStockphoto “HQ’lypse” event in Calgary I was asked if I would do an interview for the magazine, and of course I said yes. The article was nice (maybe just a little bit corny, lol) and it is definitely strange to see my face in a magazine instead of just one of my photographs.
