New Friend This Morning

Meet Mr. Edward Praying Mantis. He’s a friendly little man & he prays a lot. We had coffee together this morning. He talked my ear off. And prayed over my coffee.

On File

Take a look at my picture being featured on FILE Magazine’s website today! Hooray!

This is my favorite photo from my trip to Europe this spring. The photo was taken while we were in Florence Italy. We were walking to a little restaurant for dinner and I had my camera right there when these lovely people went by. It was one of those rare moments when you just know you got the shot! It’s an amazing feeling!

Thanks FILE for all the love!

Self Portraits

Max Richter + Coffee + Camera = Lot’s of self portraits today. I was overdue for a few new ones.

Flowers in Her Hair

Red hair and a very big flower is always beautiful. In my opinion.

More From Today

This is my brother Jamison. He does music and is really fun.  Take a listen to his music over here at  A TALE OF.  We did a few pictures today. It’s always refreshing to take photos of someone that you are close too.  I love this kid.

A Tale Of

A TALE OF

Only In German

Makes me laugh every single time I see this ticket from our trip to Europe this past spring. And yes it says UBERFAHRT. The ticket is from Hallstatt, Austria. UBERFAHRT means crossing or passage. Pronounced just the way it looks… haha, uber-fart. Hmm could it mean the passing of gas?

Sons & Daughters and The Tightrope EP

It’s been awhile since I have been able to post. Busy with wedding pictures, and my family was in town last week. I have been loving my work lately and really looking forward to this weeks photoshoots.

So, I am overdue showing off my album photography work. I worked with Matthew Wahl on a project called Sons & Daughters for Sovereign Grace Music. Matthew did the design and I did the photography. I love working with Matthew. He’s awesome!

The photos for Sons & Daughters were so much fun to shoot. We spent three days shooting, and on the last day one of the last photos shot ended up being used for the cover. That is just how it is sometimes… the least likely photo is the one that ends up being used. Also, the inside photograph is an outtake photo that I just shot thinking, “this looks cool”. But never in a million years thought it would end up being used either.

Here’s Sons & Daughters

Also, I want to show off a dear friends album artwork. Chloe Francis is a singer/songwriter based in London. I shot the inside photo for Chloe’s EP while she was recording in Cincinnati, Ohio with Ric Hordinski at his studio there. Rick’s studio is in a very cool old church, so we did Chloe’s headshot there because it was really cold outside (it was December in Ohio) & we loved the inside of the old building. Jeff Martin did the design, take a look at his flickr. Jeff is super cool!

Here’s The Tightrope EP by Chloe Francis

Hooray for long posts!

(Also the Next 2009 Live worship album cover is a photo I shot while I was the lead photographer at the NEXT conference this year. Fun, fun! Take a look.)

A little Preview – Bethany Lyneve

There are no words… just cuteness and being totally in love.
