Scones...

2011-01-06T22:56:00.001-05:00

So I decided to shoot things that scream Spill the Beans this evening. Plus I wanted a few images for the website. We just recently added scones to our menu, and they have been a huge hit. I fire off a few shots from several different angles. Nothing seems to look good. I really didn't want to have to use a flash, but my available like is minimal. So I move around until I get this shot only using natural lighting.

I know I'll get asked what I used to shoot this, so here goes. My Nikon D70 with a AF Nikkor 50mm f1.8 lens. The camera was set on Aperture priority and I opened it all the way to f/1.8. The ISO was at 200 and I didn't make any adjustments in post at all.

I went as the Joker to our Halloween Party.

Mark & Amy

It's a little funny that you guys walked in....

... And then you both come running out?

Thank you Mark and Amy for waiting patiently. Your pictures are almost done, but thought you might like to have a preview while you wait.

Nate & Kara

2007-08-24T10:12:00.000-04:00

We did this engagement shoot a couple months ago. In fact I have actually already shot their wedding too, so that shows you how far behind I am. Kara was a bridesmaid in Jenny's wedding that I shot last year. So it was really cool to be able to shoot her wedding this summer. We shot at the Ravines Golf Course which was absolutely gorgeous and allowed for some very sweet shots. Both Nate and Kara were so much fun, and I think it shows in the picturs. Enjoy the show.

My wife Sarah, and I teach the 1st and 2nd graders on Wednesday night at our church. This year we had Jason and Sundi Enlow helping us again along with Larry and Cathy Williams. They were all such a huge help. Each year we try and put a little movie together that gives the parents some idea as to what we do throughout the year.

This will play in QuickTime, as I am a huge Mac fan. Everything I create is done on my Mac. Just a quick shameless plug for Apple.

Titus

2006-11-01T01:48:00.000-05:00

This is my younger brother who has formed a band called Titus Justus. I shoot any promo stuff he needs done. His first album is scheduled for release this December.

Bob

2006-11-01T00:21:00.000-05:00

This is Bob. He belongs to Titus and Kelly. Sarah wishes I had let her keep him, but that is a different story. One night we were over at Titus and Kelly's place and I decided to shoot some of Bob. We ended up lighting him with a blue light and posing him on this coffee table. While the color picture is very cool as well, I have always liked the b/w version.

Scott & Jennifer's Wedding

2006-10-30T00:09:00.000-05:00

This blog is suppose to represent a collection of my best work. Ironically, I mainly shoot weddings, not that you could tell from my blog. So I suppose it would be appropriate to have some of my latest wedding pics.

Scott & Jennifer were married at the Indianapolis Zoo's Botanical Garden. It was such a perfect setting.

Here Scott is patiently waiting for his bride to arrive.

I just love this shot of them all holding hands.

As I was taking pictures of Scott & Jenny, I just happened to turn around and see the father of the bride calmly sitting off to the side. I love his expression.

Not everyone is able make it standing through the whole ceremony.

Scott and Jenny with both her Matron of Honor and his Best Man.

Morning Shots

2006-10-13T11:46:00.000-04:00

Last weekend I decided to wake up early to take some pictures of the moon. The night before, Sarah and I had both commented on how HUGE it was in the sky. So last Saturday @ 5:00 a.m., I gathered my gear together to go chase after some (what I hoped to be) really good shots of the moon. I found out pretty quick that my camera set up does not do it justice. In fact, what was a huge moon in the sky, looked like a spotlight in my camera. Not wanting to waist an early morning, I headed down towards the Wabash River.

As the moon was going down, I was hoping to catch the early morning sun!

During this same shoot, I decided to shoot around our City Court House.

As long as I have lived in Lafayette, I always thought this restuarant had a super cool logo. So the other day I was out shooting and was able to capture this pic. I didn't get paid to shoot this for them or to add their link in my blog, but shot it for my own personal pleasure. Maybe they will give me a complementary dinner for two for this free advertisement. Especially since I have never even eaten at Bea One!

Hidden away in Japan

2006-10-07T22:36:00.000-04:00

This past summer Sarah and I went to Japan to take my friend Ruka's wedding pictures. During the 11 days that we were there, we had the opportunity to hike up to this ancient water fall. If you look close, you can see that the water is coming right out of the mountain side. Legend claims it takes the water six years to pass through the mountain before entering the falls.

This past summer, Sarah and I had our first house built. We had been renting for the past 6 years and we decided it was time to buy a house. I am standing on the slab before any framing began.

Silhouette..

2006-08-19T02:31:00.000-04:00

I express my artistic nature through photography. I have been an avid photographer for the past 3 years now. This past week, Steven (friend from SC) has been up visiting. He is leaving in the morning, so we decided to go downtown and take some pics. This silhouette is the best I took all night.
