Last year, Holly went out to cheer on our friends and family who ran the OKC Memorial Marathon, and after hearing how much fun it was, I decided to take a turn again this year. The weather was perfect and there was a great turnout as always.

Merry Christmas!

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year! We’re taking it easy and spending time with family here in town since Holly’s due any day now. Here’s a favorite from a recent newborn session… Love that we captured some Christmas lights in the background, too. Christmas is exciting enough, but add a newborn, and...

Inspiration, Motivation, and Learning

20120227-153743.jpg

Every year around this time, I do my very best to get to one of the photography conferences taking place during our “slow” season. This year was no exception, and I was able once again to road trip with my good friend and fellow photographer Davy Knapp all the way to Las Vegas for the...

Rubble the Mastiff

Rubble_6259

I mentioned Rubble our foster Mastiff in our last post and just wanted to share a few pictures of him. He’s such a sweetie! If you haven’t heard of Great Plains Mastiff Rescue, it’s a worthwhile nonprofit organization that rescues Mastiffs from less-than-ideal circumstances, places them with foster families and works hard to get them adopted...

Art on Display at The Venue, Plaza District – Tonight!

Hey, friends! I have been terrible at prioritizing these last couple of weeks… here we are on the evening of our first ever art show and I haven’t even talked about it on the blog! (I did post about it on Twitter and Facebook, so our real friends heard about it already… Don’t you want...

Two Thousand Eleven

Well, here we are… well into 2011, without a single blog post yet. My apologies! We’ve been enjoying the snow and our slow season entirely too much! January and February are always slow months for us on-location shooters, and we really look forward to almost hibernating these months. Storie turned 4 in January, and Holly...

It’s Beginning To Feel A Lot Like Christmas!

PrintsCharming_2719

We photographed our first corporate Christmas party last evening and Santa Claus hung out for the evening with the kids! Many a parent listened in as their children told Santa their gift wish list, and I captured pictures of each child and family with jolly old Saint Nick. Here’s one that I just loved from...

In celebration of the season, we’ve reactivated all of the expired proofing galleries from 2010, and extended a one-time 10% discount on print and holiday card orders for those...

Brides Beware! Email Scam

I received two scary emails this morning… Scary because they seemed so plausible that I’m certain brides around the world will fall for it, and targeting brides is just heartless. Both emails included an html attachment that I guess will open a web page, most likely with spy-ware or virus included for no extra charge....

Renewed Vision of the Importance of Photography

Personal_6259

Every once in a while, we get requests for images of customers to be used at funerals, and it breaks our hearts. The most heartbreaking to date was a toddler we had photographed, who drowned. Right around that time, I was challenged by a master photographer at the national conference we go to each year...

Airport Photography, and Comments

I have a bit of an unusual post today… Most of us have been to the airport and experienced the emotion of saying goodbye, – or better yet, the emotion of being reunited with a loved one. Every time I’m in an airport, I find myself watching people and imagining the stories behind each teary-faced...
