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 House in Lions Park for the ceremony. Though the mansion was tight on space, it was a beautiful location and made for some great portraits. I just wish we had a little more time, there are so many wonderful nooks and crannies.
From there we made our way to the Community House for the ceremony. The back porch overlooking the lake made for a great location the weather cooperated wonderfully with the clouds covering the harsh sun and cooling things down a bit, even the wind seemed to die down a bit for the evening. After the ceremony, fun was had by all with dancing, darts, and karaoke!

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 hope of sunshine to the west.
Since it's still raining a bit, I decide to proceed with the interior photos first. This house is amazing, there is a sitting area with a fireplace that is in addition to the breakfast nook and is just off the kitchen. I could image, one lazy, cold winter morning, just sitting in the comfy armchairs that were there drinking some coffee by the fire. Finished walkout basement had an entertainment and game room, and two bedrooms in addition to the master bedroom on the main floor and two bedrooms on the second floor. One of the basement bedrooms I would call a guest suite, as it was almost as large as the master and it had it's own bathroom. Finally, nestled upstairs, above the garage, was an room that would make an extremely nice office or play room.
Waiting to photograph the exterior really paid off... the sun was just below the horizon, basking the front of the westward facing home in a warm glow and creating some great colors in the clouds behind the house.

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 don't see it happening anytime soon). Walk out basement, large entertainment room with wet-bar, roomy kitchen, terrific master bedroom with master bath. The previous week I went out to get a photo of the house and a great sunset, which with all the clouds and rain lately, was a lucky surprise. This last Wednesday I went back and focused on the interior photos. If you look at the windows in the photos, you can see the awesome views of the surrounding plains.

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.

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.

Susan and Mike - March 1st
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 with the larger family groups. I'll get photos posted this evening, until then, check them out at: http://Shutter-Vision.instaproofs.com in the featured gallery.
On a Side note, I'm working with a program to create slideshows. I'm just playing with the demo version right now, but once I have the bugs worked out and if it works how I like I'll most likely purchase the program (or something similar) and start implementing it on my webpage (which may see another face lift here in a month or two, Stay Tuned!). What this also means is that I may be able to have the option of creating DVD slideshows as a purchase option as well!!! It's it a lot of fun for me to create. Let me know what you guys think of it in the comments or by e-mail.
Until next time, Stay in Focus.
