On Monday, I wad a wonderful session with these two very active little boys. Mom and Grandma got them to sit for a few shots, then we just let them run around for a bit. They eventually settled themselves on a bench where I captured the above photo, my favorite of the day.

You know what? Keith and I had a beautiful wedding. August 4th, 2001 - our 7-year anniversary is coming up, and we've had a pretty good run.
I was just out of grad school; he had just moved up from Denver. Both of us were in pretty crappy jobs - although mine, at a flower shop - provided the "friends and family discount" on our wedding flowers. So as a result, I had two or three thousand dollars worth of flowers for about $1100.
As a bride who didn't know any better, I thought I could skimp on a few things: we'd have the reception at my mom & dad's and do a nice spread of veggies, cold cuts, tea and lemonade, etc. We'd go camping in Estes Park for our honeymoon. We'd have my sister's psycho best friend be our wedding nazi (but THAT, my friends, is a post allllllll it's own).
We even interviewed a few photographers; but in the end, my jones for flowers won out - as well as my insistence on a Martha-esque treatment of the wedding cake. We decided to have a friend of the family do our wedding pictures.
Honest? They were okay. But they were snapshots. Underexposed, overexposed, poorly composed.
It just comes to mind now because Keith is getting ready to deliver a wedding album for Katie and Ryan, who were married in March. And I'm jealous. Their album is exquisite. Exquisite.
With the wedding snapshots we have, Keith and I can never have anything like that - and I really regret it now. I didn't think it mattered. But oh, it does. Our wedding photos say only that we were married. But they'll never tell the true story of that day.

1564 Co Rd 215 - Cheyenne, WY
Last night I got the opportunity to photograph a property for June Casey of #1 Properties. It was a really special case as they were hoping to obtain a twilight. I arrived a bit early so I could update some of their interior images as well.
Given the open views from the property, I wanted to incorporate, these into the interior photos. This is where my expertise and equipment comes into play. Our eyes have the amazing ability to see within a wide dynamic range of light. Technology hasn't been able to duplicate that ability yet, which, is why what we see isn't always what's captured in camera (film or digital). I have portable flashes that, strategically placed, allow me to bring up the brightness of the light inside to match what's outside in a way that even a single flash on camera is unable to duplicate.

Wyoming Bank & Trust Session
• I had a great session with some of the employees from Wyoming Bank & Trust yesterday! Despite the threat of rain we decided to proceed with the session and produce some great images. I did did actually start sprinkling a bit, which had me a bit worried because I was using my studio light.
• I recently purchased a large battery pack that allows me to take my studio lights on location when my smaller flashes just don't quite have enough power for the situation. It is a bit of a bulkier set-up though so it's probably not something I would use for weddings where I'm constantly moving. I really look forward to getting more use out of it though.

Cheyenne Symphony Orchestra Billboards!
I just saw something really exciting today! Actually, two of them!
The new billboards for the Cheyenne Symphony Orchestra 2008-2009
They are REALLY snazzy looking, which I'm sure has a lot to do with the photo. ;)
I am really happy with the way the photo itself turned out, as it was a concept that popped into my head as soon as I was approached for the project and they told me the title for the season: Great Expectations. It just made me think "the sky is the limit" and it was something I had to do. If you want to check them out there is one westbound Dell Range after Office Depot on the left side of the road. The other is on southbound on Yellowstone just past Story, again on the left side of the road (pictured below).

Unfortunately they don't have the upcoming season info up yet, but my wife tells me it's going to be a great one!
