Remember being a kid and watching a big, soapy bubble descend on you? The shifting colors of pink and blue would move around the bubble as it floated closer and closer to you. And you hoped, you prayed, that you would be the one to pop it before anyone else did. Bubble blowing brings the [...]

Last week, I had the honor of doing a baby shoot with Tony and Stacy. Brian and I have a lot of great history with Tony and Stacy. Theirs was the second wedding we ever photographed. We were just starting out with wedding photography, and they gave us a chance. For that, Brian and I [...]

I have to tell you a great story. Back in early May, Brian and I were at the Sagamore in NY shooting Shachar and Jason’s wedding. One morning I woke up with a crazy Brown Recluse Spider bite. Over the next two weeks, the bite got worse and worse. (sorry Jeramy, not showing any photos [...]

This morning we packed the kids up, kissed Prince Phillip–the cat and Rosie–our Golden Retriever, gave the house sitters the keys, and headed to the airport. We are en route to begin a two week journey with the kids. Part of the trip is for business and part for pleasure, and a BIG part is [...]

Okay, let’s roll up our sleeves and talk CAMERA GEAR! But let me forewarn you, this is not the kind of talk you’d have with the guy at the camera store. This is a no-nonsense kind of talk from one friend to another. No secrets, just the nuts and bolts in plain language. Let’s call [...]

Over the weekend, we did a sunset snorkeling adventure and ended our evening on a deserted beach. It felt as if we reached the end of the world. What would you do if you felt like you’d reached the end of the world? We felt like flying! Photo Recipe for all you recipe lovers! How [...]

Yep, you heard me. Under the freeway. You know, where all the ivy grows and black soot collects. Where random Taco Bell trash exists, and you wonder how it got there–then start to think about it–then shudder at your thoughts. Yep, that’s where we went. Ideal photo shoot location for a family with two boys [...]

Yesterday was a crazy day of dentist appointments, homeschool and a million other things. I didn’t have a chance to read your comments until after 10pm last night. As I sat and read your comments, I was inspired by all the powerful quotes and the rich comparisons to other fields of art whether it be [...]
