Miss Teen Michigan

We all see a wide variety of people throughout our day. Some are kind and helpful, others are rude and careless. Not matter when and where, you will be surprised or disappointed.

The clients I get to deal with are always on the up side. I just can't understand how I get so lucky?!

Take Casey Mutters, Miss Teen Michigan 2011. She is a young lady from Northern Michigan that holds true beauty. Confident, ambitious and a delight to be around. One minute with her and you will realize her crown wasn't a mistake. She earned it and she is ready for the role she has to play. My hats off to Casey!

Thanks for choosing me for the photo shoot.

30 minutes with Mary

This year I wanted to put a bit of pressure on myself. After shooting editorial assignments for 5 years I have switched to weddings. I do love the work. It always keeps me sharp. These are fields in the business that you don't get a second chance. There is no replays in weddings. You can't reshoot a football game. Its now or never.

In the spirit of that type of stress. I am doing a 30 minute

shoot session with my Trade For Prints or TFP shoots. Last week I was able to do my first 30 minutes with Mary.

I have to admit, she is not a normal client to

shoot with. She can rock a ton of different poses within seconds. She made it very easy on me. I got lucky the first time out. Plus, she has agreed to do another shoot. This one we will take our time and get "the shot" we want.

Mary it was a pleasure to shoot with you and I look forward to more.

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.

The Big Traverse City Game

Rain, cold temperatures, screaming fans....

Friday night lights were blazing bright at Thirlby field. No surprise that the cold temperatures and rain didn't scare anyone away. The stands were full to the brim and the end zones packed of fans getting soaked watching a run away train.

Traverse City Central's players charged the field and kept the momentum moving throughout the game. The TC West Titans made a stand in the second half but wasn't enough to conquer the Trojans.

The new rivalry is becoming the fall event of the year. If you missed it this year check out the Traverse City Record-Eagle for the full story.

Its time to carve a pumpkin!
