rachel
I spent some time this evening after my three boys were asleep updating the blog and of course, I wanted to feature some images of the lovely Rachel. We almost got rained out but I’m so glad we didn’t! Rachel is so very very busy that we jumped at the opportunity to meet, even on a maybe-rainy day, even on game day, fighting the post-game traffic.

Pre-visualizing portraits and seeing them work exactly, exactly as you wanted is such a great feeling. To me, this image epitomizes the place he is in life — on the edge of greatness, on top...

I’m loving shooting senior portraits! His mom came up with the perfect location close to their home and I jumped at the chance to photograph there: a beautiful, beautiful golf course! We rode a golf cart all over the front nine (and a few more holes) without seeing a single golfer out and about last night. He braved ant bites and sweltering heat and still came away smiling, even after pulling an all-nighter with the band. What a...
