Wendy

Its started out with a, "just bring your camera." Before I knew it I was a few hundred frames into it and I was having fun. Thanks Shea!

Wendy is awesome. She is dedicated to what she does and is always game for showing off the results of her hard work.

Northern Michigan Wedding

Every wedding has the core elements. Ceremony, reception, embarrassing speeches and some weird dance that only a few people can truly understand.

Yet, they all are different. That is why I have found weddings to be the new enjoyment in my life.

Props to Scarlett at Photography By Scarlett, she has let me into her summer fun.

Loving every minute of it.

Surfer Girl

It started out cloudy...

The clouds where still hanging around from the day before. Wasn't looking promising but late in the day it cleared. Brianne and I were able to hit Vans Beach and get some great portraits.

Yes the water is a bit cold this time of year but she ran right in. Its gotta be a surfer thing.

Ashley V.2

Ashley is unstoppable.

Lifestyle Portraits

Ashley Olson is new to the scene. She is so gunho about shooting that there is no instruction needed. A little talk before the shoot and she is good to go.

In need of a model.....Ashley Ann Olson.

2010 Weddings Season

Its Wedding Season!

Exciting, yes, in a couple ways. Not only do I get to shoot my

own but I get to work under someone. Photography by Scarlett has given me the pleasure of assisting/second shooter for her this season.

Scarlett is an amazing photographer. Many couples have been blessed to have her talent capturing their wedding day. 2010 is my year that I get to witness it first hand.

I got to tag along with her to cover a family members wedding in the spring. It was a bit chilly but worth every shutter release.

Summer Portraits

The summer is a great time. Heck, its almost magical. Coming out of a season where frozen fingers fumble on the shutter button and chattering teeth are picked up by the camera mic is needed.

Sierra and Shea are partners in crime. I just get to tag along and get a few shots in. On this day we hit up an orchard and gravel pit. These are two of my favorites for that day.

Grip N Guard

Dan of Dan Brady Painting and Wood Restoration invited me to be part of this commercial. Brady was the talent during the shoot and was wanting some stills of the process. For Dan Brady I respond with with, "When and Where!"
The shoot was done at Carter Oostherhouse's home on Old Mission Pennisula. Beautiful place to call home.

The productions crew on set was Brauer Productions. Owner Rich Brauer was there handling the camera and sound.
