September 27th, 2009


This weekend I let go of technology (except of course my camera!) and went on a Canoe and Camping trip to Peace River.

What a fantastic way to spend the weekend.

Willy Cleary Band

September 11th, 2009


Willy Cleary, a band in Northeast Ohio asked me to shoot an album cover for them. I’m happy to admit this put me a bit out of my element, but it was a good group of guys and so we got together near Akron Ohio for a early evening mini-shoot.

More information about Willy Cleary.

TJ and Jess’s Formals

September 11th, 2009


I’m hard at work preparing the photos for the recent wedding of TJ and Jess. However, I am so in love with their Bride and Groom formal portraits that I had to share them first!

The wedding took place at Hale Farm and Village, a historic reenactment village and a still-functioning farm. The bride choose this location because for a time in her life she worked as a butter-churner at the farm.

Maria & Austin Engagement Photos

September 11th, 2009


Update: Video

Flying to Ohio for the weekend Maria, Austin, myself, and Maria’s brother Nick visited several locations in and around their home town of Hudson, Ohio.

Many thanks to Nick who served as an excellent assistant, and much less expensive for everyone than flying an assistant with me from Miami.

John and Katie Engagement

September 9th, 2009


This weekend in Ohio was bustling with photography. Originally planned just for the wedding of TJ and Jess (photos of that fantastic wedding coming soon) the weekend grew to involve an engagement portrait session, a shoot at midnight in a foggy graveyard, and a shoot for a rock-and-roll band.

Bodyscapes Continued

September 2nd, 2009


I planned on completing my bodyscape collection selection after my Bodyscape Social Selection post. However, new ideas for bodyscapes kept coming to mind, so I decided on two more shoots to help round out the collection. This is the first of those two shoots.
