The QC Photo service is open and booking for 2012!
Film35 is a fun service and I have been pleased with the overall response to the offering. Most of the people I have heard from love …

Did I create some “standard” photos of this couple walking into their reception? Of course I did. But it is this photo that caught my eye in the edit process as one that helped to convey motion and a sense of context. The image, below, was created as Raquel & Diego were settling in for the evening at the head table.

It has been a fun 24 hours since releasing the news that QC Photo has been re-tuned for my 2012 clients and already I have had some good response! As I mentioned in a previous …
Yesterday’s photo reminded me of this, rather different, variation of the front-of-the-church photograph.
One of the projects I am working on today is Elizabeth & Andy’s Davenport, Iowa wedding. Aside from including a wonderful wedding couple this photo was one of my favorites from the day because of …

In lieu of a “Photo of the Day” post I wanted to share some images from the Tipton, Iowa portrait I did in September. Molly & Michael’s session took place a year after they were …

Wrapping up “Czech Week” is a photo I created while the family & I headed out to explore the downtown and shopping district in Brno.
For more photos and sound from my trip to Czech Republic …
Majak means “lighthouse” which, as I was reminded by Alan, is a bit ironic considering Czech Republic is a landlocked country. But the term “lighthouse” was not chosen for its literal interpretation but, rather, because …
I can’t recall if I have already posted this photo to the blog (I suspect that I have). If so it was a while back and I figured it would be OK to bring it …
While I was in Czech Republic I spent much of my time focused on the family I was there to work with for the Story of the Missionary project. During the day there would be …
A change of plans for this week: instead of weddings I thought I’d share some images I created when I was doing documentary work in Czech Republic. This photo was created in Brno when photographing …
I am not one to ask people to “do something crazy” but when a group of friends & family come by it naturally, well, I am always more than happy to do my part!
No POTD …
Fun with film continues with this photo I created while I walked with the wedding party to create photographs near and around the University of Iowa campus. While it is not an often-used tool I …
More “fun with film” this week featuring an unnamed model and her 17″ MacBook Pro notebook computer. Or, is it “laptop”?
The next time you want some good coffee try Dunn Bros in Davenport (or is it Bettendorf?). Why? This couple would be happy to tell you! I was working with another photographer that day who …
The Photo Of The Day (POTD) is something that I enjoyed doing during the off-season last year and into early this year. Once things got busy it became something that I really didn’t want to …
Just a little something from the “before & after” collection! With the 2011 wedding season winding down I’m having a blast revisiting recent weddings, processing and getting images out the door to my most excellent …
Generally speaking, there are two competing schools of thought when it comes to how a photographer covers a wedding reception. OK, there’s obviously more than “two” but, in the case of this post, I am …
Right now I’m working on Lisa & Nick’s wedding images and thought I’d share one with you! We had stopped at an abandoned building before heading to the bar for drinks when I created this …
I don’t really call ‘em “trash the dress” sessions. Instead, I had the opportunity to visit with some old friends for their “post wedding portrait”. I had a lot of fun reconnecting with Molly & …
In addition to photographing Calynn & Ryan’s wedding I am spending part of this Labor Day weekend wrapping up the processing of Kelli & Ryan’s wedding photos. While there are a variety of fun photos …
With all due respect to the office of the President of the United States I think that Mr. Obama’s visit was not the most important of the week! While the black bus tour made its …
…and I’ve got the photos I need to complete a handful of post-production projects I am anxious to get out to my clients! I expect to get quite a few weddings “out the door” by …

It’s a question I get asked a lot these days and, yes, I do work with assistants! Of course, they tend to help me out more when it comes to post-processing my digital files by …
I’m not going to go so far as to say I am bringing back the “Photo Of The Day” category but, maybe, I’ll create a new one: “Photo Of The Occasional” to provide an outlet …
I want to thank Beth & Matt for a wonderful evening, yesterday, on the campus of the University of Iowa in Iowa City! Their wedding is coming fast and I am looking forward to seeing …
Something fun for the weekend! Even the leading frame of the roll can sometimes create an unintentionally viewable frame to enjoy!
