A combination of hearing from former models I’ve worked with and a number of sales regarding studio lights and equipment. I’ve experienced overwhelming urges to recharge my studio work. After a week or so of measuring, planning, and unhealthy overthinking. I was able to free myself from the lofty goal of rekindling my studio photography days. While my love of connecting with my subject, and doing my best to earn the trust and capture the beauty and depth of my subject. I’d be wiser and a lot more happy to look back and say, “I accomplished just that.” If I ultimately decide to get back to that aspect of my work. I’d like to explore more of my interest in natural light and shadow. Until then.
August is already here and the kids will soon be headed back to school. So what better a time than now to start booking a family session close to home and far from the trappings of the local mall and all the blood, sweat and tears that seem to go along with every trip to the local photo studio retailer.

I was sitting with my friend going over the weeks sessions when I half jokingly said, “You’re going to put me in the poor house.” The remark was in response to his pointing out the next expensive item I needed to invest in. Being that the last six or so months had seen me purchasing a new camera, a lens, photo software, a sturdy tripod, new umbrellas and a studio light to name a few. It seemed a proper reaction. Then I thought about the education he’s been giving me and I suddenly found myself eating my words.
For years now I’ve been aware of Instagram, but had no idea as to what it offered or what I’d find. In all honesty, I thought it was an app. where people uploaded their selfies and pictures of meals from their mobile devices. Thankfully, through conversations with my brother and a close friend who’s been mentoring me. Not only was I open to investigation. I was flat out prepared to dive in to the deep end of the pool. Since opening an account, I’ve been posting regularly and building a small, but steady following. More importantly, I’ve found inspiration and ideas by following my favorite photographers, magazines and modeling agencies. And just as I’ve built a following with Photogeek over the years. I hope to grow and share with Instagram. Below is a link to my account. I’ll be posting work from my sessions regularly.
