It's been a busy busy week...


Well, I'm finally "finished" with the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition project, well at least the photography part anyway. In a couple of weeks I'll start editing the photos and hopefully start creating a gallery to post the images. I'm still limited to what I can show until the episode airs (so far thy're saying November) so don't expect much other than exterior construction shots.

Before I can get to that though I have a few other things going on. This weekend I just photographed a wonderful wedding in the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens. It was a bit warm that day, but the ceremony was short and sweet. After the formal group photos we had a chance to take a few quick photos of just the couple that I think turned out really well. The reception was a small intimate affair held at the Train Depot downtown. I should have the photos posted in a gallery at the end of the week, but until then, here's a teaser...


Following what's sure to be a long, grueling, day of work on the Tuesday after Labor Day Weekend, I'm out of town for the rest of the week on a business trip... Photoshop World in Las Vegas. As neither my wife or I have been there before I'm going to try and limit myself as to what I see and do until a time where we can both go. That means no Star Trek Experience, yes, sadly we are both a kind-of of trekkies, though we hide it well. I'm not sure how much time I'll have to see the sites anyway. Photoshop World is a huge event for photographers and digital artists and there's always something going on. I should be back rejuvinated and eager to try out new techniques.

That being said, the second half of September is going to be a great time for photos. I'll have new ideas to try out. The fall colors will be starting to come any time now (you can already fill the chill in the morning air). I'm looking at setting aside one weekend for Family Portraits at Vedauwoo. Right now I'm looking at the 22nd or the 29th depending on weather and the colors. If you're interested give me a call, drop me an e-mail, or leave a comment here. What might be nice is to make it a big event with a potluck BBQ one evening and take a few family portraits at once. Hmmm... The gears are now turning....

I can now let the cat out of the bag about the "Top Secret" project... well... at least his head so he can breath a bit... I'm still limited as to what I can say and can't show any photos yet but here ya go:

Over the next week I'm going to be covering a lot of behind-the-scene progress for the TV show Extreme Makeover Home Edition. My job is to essentially highlight the activities of the Vendors and Volunteers. Without the donations of materials, money, and time of these companies and people, a project like this would not be possible. For more information, visit the builder's site here: Carter Brothers Construction
If you're in the area, you can also volunteer to help through the link on their site.

As soon as I find out, I'll post the air date for the show.

...And before anyone asks I can't use or post any photographs of the show's stars.

August is turning out to be a full month...

My anniversary was on the 4th, unfortunately I was sick most of the weekend. We were able to at least relax and make it to a couple of movies.

This week I'm working on wrapping up a project with the Wyoming Department of Health. I did a infant photography session for their PRAMS program. In a few days they'll have their final images selected for use for on posters and brochures.

Last night I finished up the photos for Elizabeth and David of a very nice wedding in the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens and posted them in the gallery: http://Shutter-Vision.instaproofs.com



Starting this Friday, I begin work on a week long "Top Secret" project. No... Really... I even had to sign a non-disclosure agreement. I will post more about it when I can, hopefully by the beginning of next week.

Sprinkle in a wedding and a couple portrait sessions, it's shaping up to be a busy month. I'm just glad my wife is supporting me in all this and trying to help out where she can. Thanks and Love ya wifey.
