Change: May 2nd, 2009

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Change is good. Change is scary. Change is exciting, refreshing, hopeful, nerve racking, and so on. Friday is my last day at my current day job. I’ve been doing photography on the side, late at night editing, shooting on the weekends, and as of May 2nd, 2009, I’ll officially be going after a career as a full-time photographer. I’m passionate about photography and want to give myself a chance at doing something I truly love for my day job.

There are so many details involved in this leap. So many people to connect with. So many emails to send. But it’s fun to have the chance to see what will come of this. Thanks for all of your support and prayers as I attempt this transition and I can’t wait to hit the ground running on May 2nd, when I drive up to Cashiers, NC for what will be an awesome wedding. The next couple weeks are nuts for me, but it involves a ton of shooting, so be on the lookout for some new blog posts soon!

So, please check out my website. forward it to your friends, coworkers, family, enemies…whoever :)

This is sort of how I feel this week…at the top of this slide and part of me just has to close my eyes and GOOOOOOOOO!

Designing a digital image portfolio – and FAST!

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

I recently had the opportunity to present some of my work for consideration to an ad agency. This is new territory to me, and although I’ve been working on ideas for an actual book to provide art buyers, I needed something FAST. Like, in an hour Fast. Here’s how I tackled it in that timeframe. What are your workflows like?

Engagement Shoot – Athens, GA style!

Friday, April 10th, 2009

Last weekend I got to meet and shoot an awesome couple in Athens, GA (Home of the Georgia Bulldogs!!!). I’m an SEC guy, so anytime I get to shoot in an SEC college town, you know I’m happy. Athens is officially one of my favorite places to shoot because there’s just so many great places to find within walking distance. From downtown, through campus and over to an old broken down building, we never got in a car. It was awesome meeting such a cute and in-love couple. I can’t wait to shoot their June wedding…and can I get an “amen” on this couple having some good looking kiddos?!











Garrett Moore – Re Edit

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

Garrett is a super talented singer/songwriter from here in Atlanta. We did a quick shoot last year, but as usual, as I was going through some old pics, I just wanted to try something different.

If you ever get the chance to see Garrett live, go do it! He’s got a great soulful voice. Check him out on myspace or facebook. It’ll be worth your time.



At the house

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

My boys just keep getting so big! It’s so much fun watching them grow. Eli’s smiling a ton now, and Adler just continues to laugh his infectious laugh. They both light up the room enough that I didn’t need a flash for these pics…well, the new camera helped a bit too! :)





Atlanta Skyline – morning commute

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

I have a great backroad way to get to work in the mornings and I always pass this spot where the trees open up in between a couple subdivisions and lets you see the Atlanta skyline all the way from Mableton. This morning the weather was really crappy, but the clouds made for a cool pic and I just had to stop because it was a rare occasion where my camera bag was in my car!
