    As a computer science major, one of the suggested requirements to graduate was to get involved in an extra curricular activity on campus. I thought the newspaper would be the place for me - I had always been commended for my writing skills and I had just left my post as head of our rogue high school newspaper.

    The conversation with the editor did not go as planned; she was insistent upon needing a photographer and I just wanted to write. I guess I wore her down, she let me submit a story - a humorous detail about the parking situation at school. It had the laughs, tears, and pizzazz of an award-winning article. It would change the world! But it never got published. Instead, she handed me a camera and ushered me out the door for my first assignment.

    And that's how I became a photographer. I don't have a great story about growing up with a camera in my hand. My life on the newspaper was an anything but glamorous array of rolled film (yes, I said the f word), developer and deadlines.

    Here I am 13 [eek] years later and I can say that this is exactly where I want to be and I shoot fabulous people.

Orion Ballroom Shoot :: Caught!

We are still in idle before our wedding season starts officially the first week of March. In between, Michelle and I took on quite an extraordinary shoot at the Orion Ballroom. I will be sharing those images in some upcoming posts, but before I do – proof that I actually can photography children. The adorable twins in the background are Tina & Rick’s. The white dress cutie in front of the camera is Beth & James’ sweet daughter.

Wondering what I did with Vivian? We sent her to the Flavors of Love event hosted by Gil’s Catering at the Dallas Arboretum. Thanks Vivie! ♥

Lynn’s Secret Field :: Serenity

I can’t help but enjoy this very lovely ‘winter’ we are having. Nathan and I took a walk to explore the far reaches of my secret field. I am just insanely excited to spend more time there. It’s peaceful and bathed full of beautiful sunlight daily. ♥

Gizmo :: 85 1.8 lens

Just when I think I own every lens that I could ever want, someone lures me into the ‘what ifs’ by saying “you have try the xxxx, it will make your life complete”. And so the siren song of a new lens calls me in the middle of the night and I send an email to Canon and ask to borrow a lens, which may or may not make my life complete.

On the judges stand was the 85mm 1.8 lens. It’s quite lovely and lightweight at first touch.

For my photography friends, I just want to say that the lens is gorgeous and now that the 24-70II has been officially announced, I’m considering that as my first purchase before the 85mm or perhaps in lieu of it if it performs to my expectations.

For my sweet stalkers whose brains blew up from the sentence above: LOOK … KITTY!

Julie - He’s so fluffy, I want to die!!!!! I love fluffy kitties. They make you feel better at the end of the day. And, I’ve known another kitty named Gizmo. I just can’t remember whose cat.

Imaging USA :: New Orleans

For months I had been telling my photographer friends that I would not be attending Imaging USA. It would be the first Imaging I would have missed in nearly 5 years and I was dead set on not going. Two weeks before the actual event I decided I was going and I went in some crazy full throttle mode. The next thing I knew, I was booking tickets and I was talking to my friends at Adorama and being asked to be a representative in their convention booth.

Now Imaging wasn’t all work and no play for me. I got to hang out with my dear friends and enjoy some local cuisine – yum!

One morning, we all got our butts up at 6am and walked to Cafe Du Monde for beignets and coffee. It was chilly and we were, um, tired but here is my crew.

Why 6am, you ask? So we could watch the sun come up. Best ‘stupid’ thing I have ever done.

This month I am joining my buds again at WPPI in Las Vegas. It’s not only my first trip to WPPI, but also to the LV. What will happen next?!
