From Ben’s senior shoot last night. And he has a delightful taste in music.

A big thanks to Brett “El Tidy” Stoddart for coming out last night to assist and play with the AlienBee.

These awards happen only because of my awesome clients and my amazing staff. These are your awards, not mine. Congrats guys!

Our heads are still spinning. And we’re not stopping anytime soon..

The senior shoots have killed lately! As many know, I take to my senior shoots with an editorial and fashion-oriented approach. I look at it as a fresh spin on everything that I hated about my senior class portraits (yeah, back in ’91.) Cheesy, fake and awkward as my mullet. My senior style isn’t for everyone, but it works great for my clients. And I’m always excited to share them here on the bloggage.
