Following on the success of the first round of fashion-y photos of my ZAAZ London colleagues, we went for round 2 with the new folks. This time I shot seven people instead of the original 18, which really gave me some time to get it RIGHT. I feel like I learned a lot the first Read more…
The day before their wedding, Ashley and Aaron had their rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. It was early in the day, so in the evening we still had enough daylight to shoot some portraits in our rental house in New Orleans. First I had them sit in a window seat in one of the living rooms Read more…
**More about my engagement soon, I promise!** A couple of years ago, I saw the book Masters’ Guide to Wedding Photography: Capturing Unforgettable Moments and Lasting Impressions by Marcus Bell. I really can’t recommend that book enough; it made me think about wedding photography in a whole new way. It also made me subscribe to Read more…

It was just outstanding. Read more…
