A winter portrait shoot with the Lauer family. I’ve never shot at the Bear Creek Nature Center before, but the location was just perfect. Tall brown and beige grass met blue and pink fields, with Cheyenne Mountain towering in the background. The Lauer Family was a blast to work with–braving the cold weather and putting …

What an honor it is when another photographer asks you to take their family photos. And what an adventure we had. We trudged through tall weeds at sunset, shooting until the last light of the day started to disappear behind the mountains. With a family as cute as this, there’s not a bad photo in …
This past Fall I was asked to donate my time and shoot a series of family portrait shoots. Sessions were scheduled in increments of thirty minutes, so we had to move quick. It was a terrific challenge and every client was a joy to work with. And, to top it all off, the group of …
I got pulled into a last-minute photo project at work. The goal? Shoot some headshots. But corporate headshots are sooooooo boring, right? Some of them are just downright abysmal. So I turned it into an editorial portrait shoot. To make it more fun I used video lights instead of strobes. Everyone loved the results, so …
This Fall I had several photo shoots with families to benefit Hope & Home, a foster care and adoption agency in Colorado Springs. Each session was about thirty minutes, which was a photo blast of craziness. The families were all unique, wonderful, and crazy in their own way. With the reds, oranges, and deep greens …
I had a free afternoon in Fort Worth, TX and decided to catch up with an old friend. This old friend happens to be a very talented, singer-songwriter named Andrew Sullivan. With a few hours to kill and a recently released album, Andrew and I shot a music video. In his backyard. With his chickens. …
I asked my family to volunteer some time and sit for portrait photos. Using a few off camera flashes (Yongnuo) and wireless triggers, I shot a series of low key portraits. The results were just fantastic, and I love having these photos of my family. I shot these at mid-day in my family room of …
I’ll be honest up front: I’m not a head shot photographer by trade. I’ve been learning more about what makes a good head shot ever since I started shooting them a few years ago. Every time I shoot a head shot session I learn new tricks to getting a fantastic image. I spent a few weeks …
These photos come with a bit of a delay. I shot these back in September for the Akeson family. They wanted some photos to use for a big wall collage, so we went to the Norfolk Botanical Gardens and clicked away. Even though it was hot and humid, we had a blast. All four kids …
I had the pleasure of meeting Morgan and Collin recently for a headshot shoot. Morgan and Collin are local commercial and film actors who needed updated photos to hand out while auditioning. They were easy to work with, and were quite comfortable in front of the camera. We shot on the campus of Regent University …
I helped a friend shoot some headshots about a month ago. He only had fifteen minutes, so we shot as much as we could, and then called it quits. We ended up with a few good shots. He needed some photos for his website, not necessarily headshots, but these are close.
