www.Shutter-Vision.comOver the last few evenings I uploaded the new website! I'm still working on a few pages but so far everything is going smoothly!!! I had to learn a lot of new programing to get it up and running how I wanted, but I'm pretty excited about it! I also created a new logo and branding for it!The biggest improvement is the integrated blog as the main page!!! Now everything is in

As Promised (granted a little latee than I said) here's the info on my new location portrait option:THE RED CHAIR!!This item would be great for individual or family portraits and the the uses are limited only by our imaginations: in the middle of a field, in the woods, on a dirt road, in an alley. I actually have two of them so larger families (greater than 6) are no problem. below is a sample

I have been extremely busy and, I've been trying to focus what little free time I do have into creating a new website along with a new blog. The blog will actually be integrated as the main page of the website instead of at a separate location. Once those are complete (hopefully within the

I just finished uploading Jamie and Brian's wedding gallery this afternoon, a couple days earlier than I anticipated.It really was a wonderful day! They were staying at the Nagel Warren Mansion that night so Jamie also used that for her location to get ready for the wedding. She also had the great idea of having me meet them there to get some bridal portraits before heading over to the Community

Getting off of work at 3:30 Wednesday afternoon and looking to the west was not an uplifting sight... storm clouds. Normally I love the rain, but this night was different. I had a home to photograph. A downpour, a typical late summer rain here. As luck would have it though, the storm is just a quick one and as we're rolling up to the house, the rain starts to let up a bit and you can see some

Despite a few changes in plans it was a beautiful wedding.Originally scheduled to be in the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens, incoming storms caused the cermeony to be held at the back-up location, the Calvery Baptist Church. Pre-Ceremony photos were taken at the Capitol building downtown, which was a first for me and was a great location, I just wish we had a little but more time to capture more of the

It's been a busy week. I had a wedding on the 8th and working on those photos has been keeping me busy for the most part. On Wednesday though, I got to take a little break from those to photograph a beautiful home.The house is part of Cheyenne's Parade of Homes, going on this weekend and next weekend, under the listings for #1 Properties, and is the type of home I just dream of having (though

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

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

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

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

So what's been going on?• Well, over the last couple of weeks I've been taking less work to spend more time with my family. Since my daughter started T-Ball for the first time this summer I wanted to be there for all her "games," and take pictures of course. *BUT* this last weekend she fell and broke her arm... which unfortunately for her means no more T-Ball. Right now it's just splint and

• I had a great time this last weekend visiting my friend, and fellow photographer, Jennifer of Steed's Photography in Casper, WY. It was a perfect morning, not a could in the sky and no wind. We drove up to a little waterfall area and took a short walk up to scout out the location before hauling our gear up. After discussing what she wanted and what our options were we headed back down to grab

Boy is my head spinning...A few days ago I just got back from a 5day photography workshop in Breckenridge, Colorado and I'm still trying to filter through the information. This was actually my third year attending, I get so much out of them I already signed up for next year.This year the focus was wedding photography. While I'm happy with what I've been doing so far, I now see where I can improve

I just finished up the images for Brittany and Thomas, whose wedding was last weekend. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful location, the First United Methodist Church. Brittany's daughter was so cute. There were several times she was running up and down the aisle during the ceremony, but I think that provided some great opportunities for photos. Having a three-year-old myself, I try to look

Braving cold, wind, and the occasional snowflake, Katie and Ryan had a wonderful wedding this past weekend.With the threat of weather, a tent was set up in the Cheyennne Botanic Gardens the night before, so though it was a bit chilly, the guests were at least shielded from the elements a bit. The fire department even assisted the tent set-up by filling several 55gallon drums with water to help

The gears are turning....I've been doing a lot of thinking lately...I've been doing a lot of reading lately...I've been doing a lot of studying lately...What does this mean?It means I'm feeling the need to grow as a photographer and it's time to start pushing myself in directions I want to head instead of trying to do what everyone else around me is doing. I have one or two projects coming up

I had a great time at Susan and Mike's Wedding on the first of March. Originally we had planned to photograph the formal groups inside but it ended up being such a nice day that we ended up taking them outside. Good thing too, with the size of the family groups on either side, I doubt there wold have been enough room inside! Coming from a small family myself, it always boggles my mind when I work

Last weekend we finally had a break in the Wyoming Winds (gusts of 50mph and up) and was able to get out and get a location session in...Despite the lack of wind it was still pretty darn cold, colder and cloudier than it was supposed to be. Katie and Ryan did a great job of keeping their sense of humor and their smiles throughout the session. Thanks for braving the cold with me guys!Stay in Focus

Wow, what fun! The annual Cheyenne Bridal Expo this last Sunday was great! Erin and I had a wonderful time meeting and talking with people. I was pretty nervous before hand, but after things got started and we got to talking, I was feeling pretty good, I think Erin was feeling much the same way. Unfortunately, since it was a last minute decision to attend, I didn't have time to prepare any sample

Once again I've been slacking off on my blogging duties. No excuse other than too much work and not enough time, as usual.A week and a half ago we had the special session day with my daughters daycare. We got together for a little BBQ and Family Portraits.

I haven't even had a chance o look at the photos I took yet.We're holding a BBQ and Family Photo Session with some families from my daughter's daycare this Saturday up at Vedauwoo

Starting with something different...I'm going to start things off today with a photo I took on the way home form the Extreme Makeover project. I was at the top of the hill just east of town and saw this, I had to stop. After snapping a few frames I took a few moments and watched the sun sink behind the horizon. I don't get a chance to photograph nature as often as I like, but I think I need to

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

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

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

I just finished up with some photos from a great engagement session I had with Azure and Andrew a week ago. The photos can be found at my event galleries located at: http://Shutter-Vision.instaproofs.com

Unfortunately I haven't been posting to my blog as much as I would like. Not enough time in the day. At times it feels like I'm trying to squeeze 26hrs into a 24hr timeframe.The Wyoming Game and Fish Department project is still keeping be pretty busy. I'm about half way through the latest batch of product they've given me. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the catalog is going to turn

Changes...I'm so excited! I just got back from a week long photography workshop in Breckenridge, Colorado. I learned so much and met a lot of great people. Over the next few months, I'm going to be implementing some changes and techniques that I learned. Most of it will be business related things that most people will never see but I got a lot of other good information as well that will help with

As you may, or may not, know, in addition to my photography business, my day job is as a photographer for a local catalog company here in Cheyenne: Sierra Trading Post. There I mostly photograph product for the catalog where my specialty is "hard goods," or, basically anything that is not clothing. I do some clothing here and there when needed but mostly I am responsible for product ranging from

It's been a crazy week to say the least. On Sunday I did a shoot at Vedauwoo in 35mph winds, wasn't that windy in town when we left. It was actually less windy than the day before when we originally planned the shoot. That's Wyoming for you. To add to the fun there was still an inch or two of snow on the ground from Friday, where in town it had all nearly melted. Despite the challenges, I still

I got a chance to shoot one of the local ranches for #1 Properties. It was an amazing place. It's about 15 minutes north of Cheyenne. There are several barn structures, one dedicated to show cattle. There was a huge freezer in the barn for keeping cattle during the summer months, but it's not for what you would think. We're talking live cattle, not slabs of meet. This is done to help promote

Welcome to my blog. I'm not sure how this is going to work out, I've never really done this type of thing, but I thought this may be a good way to keep people up to date with what I'm doing and where my photography is headed. I think it may be a useful tool to help keep me on track as well. Thanks for reading and I hope to have many fruitful posts in the near future.
