Polaroid 600 from the weekend camping expedition with the girls. I have a bunch of C-41 and E-6 35mm and some 120 to process yet. I even played around with my tilt-shift lens! Can’t wait to see ‘em.

I spent the day clearing my plate of some recent photo shoots. And it felt dang good. I still have some more editing to wrap up, including the wedding from last weekend, but I can say my camping trip this weekend willl be free of any lingering stress!
Werd.
Ahhhh, the Sampsons… I love Greg and his family dearly! Greg is the pastor at San Damiano Church here in Appleton, where I attend. I had previously shot some photos for San Damiano’s new website, but I jumped on the chance to get Greg and his family out on a shoot. For those who know him, Greg has this edgy style about him. It was a perfect match working together. The focus was on the kids, but we wrapped up with some killer “promo” shots of the man!
Giving BIBLE THUMPING a new face!!!
Blake’s senior shoot. This was awesome!
And no, I’m not giving my secrets away on this one..

What else is there to say, but what a truly awesome wedding! I’ve been looking forward to shooting Kim & Jeremy’s wedding for awhile. Mainly because I love these guys, but partially cause it was held at one of my favorite wedding venues of all time. They were totally confident in me showing up for the big day, full well knowing that I was a few days away from having our baby girl. And I gotta say, I’m very happy I could attend! Look for yourself..
I was blessed to shoot alongside the lovely Amy Gaerthofner of Ardent Photography. I was stoked to bring Amy on-board with us for the day, just in case Lil’ Miss Eden elected to come a few days early. Luckily she didn’t!
Below are some awesome AWESOME shots Amy took during the day!
Yeah, here’s our outtake reel…
Rob’s simple humor.
Rob working his magic yet again..!

Thanks for everything Jeremy & Kim!

Last night I had the honor of working with the Seeking Focus Photography Association. Two months ago, they asked me to do a presentation for their group, talking about my overall work and creative vision. I was invited back to work with the group, but this time in a more hands-on fashion. I took the group out on-location, demonstrating how I work with my clients while shooting and offering up simple tips on making more compelling, interactive portraits.
With the help of Rob and Adam, we had a group of 16 photographers shooting along with me while working with some models in a more interactive-based demonstration. Jason and Danielle drove down from Green Bay, leading off the evening with an engagement-shoot scenario. You may remember I shot their wedding on May 17th. It was cool to catch up with them after the big day! Many thanks also go out to Ashley and Matt for filling in as models later in the evening, demonstrating some simple off-camera lighting techniques. We ended the evening, by covering post-production editing using Adobe Photoshop/Bridge CS3 and having a few drinks. What an awesome group to work with!
Here are some of the photos I shot with the group.
