Welcome to the blog.

My life as a photographer has changed so much over the last year and this blog is a representation of the chaos, the excitement, the learning, and hopefully great images. :) Thanks for spending a few minutes with me.

I’ve been blessed to work on a number of projects with Chad Bishop (LightBridge Studio) over the past few years.  It started with photography and led into video and we’ve both learned a ton in the process.  Towards the end of last year we shot a video for Home Depot’s Merchandising Execution Team.  I typically play the DP (director of photography) role and Chad does a great job directing and setting vision for what story we’re trying to tell.  There are a number of other projects that we’ve shot that are in the editing process, but I am definitely hoping to share more of our collaboration as we release more videos online.  Here’s the “MET” video for The Home Depot.

I’ve been blessed to shoot 5 different Catalyst Events in the last 3 years and each time I’m blown away by the level of content they share with Church and Business leaders, from amazing communicators to hilarious MCs and powerful music. It’s “kid in a candy store” photography, where everything you see is probably going to be worth taking a picture of. Our job is to capture the story, and what’s nice is that the story is pretty epic. This year I found myself trying to capture light in a new way (for me) as it just seemed like the light took on an element of worship itself.  Someday, these blurry “worship light” photos will probably end up on my wall.

One of the cool things that has developed through this relationship with Catalyst is the community I get to experience among the other photographers who shoot the event with me.  It’s been so cool to work with such a talented group of photogs that all have unique styles and vision.  Definitely check out their work if you get a chance!

My wife was out of town for a wedding last weekend, and the boys and I were left to create some chaos in and around the house.  We had a blast together.  I LOVE hanging out with them, wrestling, playing Wii, wrestling… you know, “boy stuff”.  We went to the DragonCon parade to see the storm troopers, ate at our favorite pizza place, had an ultimate pillow fight Friday, Saturday and Sunday and Monday… It was a great weekend, but we missed Kristine the whole time.  So I tried to show her.. here’s what came from it:
