Portrait of a Friend

So for those of you out there keeping up with my life through my blog, it’s been a little while.  But I think it’s time to get this thing moving for real now.  So in the way of updates, I’m adding a new category of blog posts called “NMPJ”.  NMPJ stands for New Media Photojournalism.  This is the name of the Masters degree program in which I cam currently enrolled.  Yes, you got it, I’m going back to school.  Crazy times, but, so far, pretty awesome.  And, because of my intense devotion to readers (assuming I have any readers), I’ve decided to start posting assignments and things of interest from my program on my blog.  Why?  Because it’s my blog, I can do whatever I want to do.

So our very first photographic assignment in this program was to go and make a portrait of a friend – with bonus points awarded for portraits of “friend with dog”.  You don’t have to tell me twice.  🙂

We had to select three to turn in.  These are my three.  Thanks, Mike (& Zoey) for sharing a morning with me.  Always a good start to my day.

Food Photography

I often get the question, “do you only shoot weddings?” from clients and colleagues.  I love weddings and I am happy to have them as such a big part of my business.  But one thing I love about running my own business is that I get to do whatever I want.  And whatever I want is a little bit of everything.  I love photography, I love food, and so it seems only natural to love photographing food.

Duck is a classic Wolfgang Puck dish and chef Scott at The Source made this lovely image possible.

Just thought I’d get back in the saddle with blog posts and make us both hungry in the process.  Now time to figure out what’s for dinner…
