More to come from this beautiful family, but this particular image just makes me smile... (a fun portrait in Chapel Hill, North Carolina :)

One of the major advantages of being at an international convention, surrounded by a multitude of talented photographers from all over the world, is that you have this terrific opportunity to line up a shoot, update the headshots, and get some real experience on the other side of the lens. Which, as any good shooter knows, goes a long way towards bettering you as an overall photographer. I had a terrific opportunity to do just that when I met up with Sue Bryce, an Australian

A huge thanks to Crash Taylor for a very fun interview. Crash is an exceptionally talented England-based photographer who has interviewed some exceptionally intriguing people ... and then, recently, lowered his standards a bit (sweet soul) and interviewed me... You can check out the rest of the interview here. A special thanks to Australian-based Sue Bryce for the new headshot - she also photographed a few other lovely images while we were in Las Vegas, which I'll post next

I am at the 2010 WPPI Convention (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) in Las Vegas right now, getting a chance to meet up with about 12,000 photographers from around the world. I just (about 30 minutes ago!) wrapped up the Audrey & Tamara Workshop, taught alongside Audrey Woulard. We had a chance to meet a great group of photographers who came in from all kinds of different cities. Not just the U.S. but Canada, Spain and ... hmm, forgetting one ... A r

I got to photograph Meredith & Sam's wedding in Charlotte, which was super cool because Sam, who was marrying Meredith, was also the brother of Rachel, who is my associate and friend at the studio. I also know most of Rachel's (and, thusly, Sam's) family as well as some key friends (whew, are you with me, still?) - so, all in all, the Fun Family Feel made for a particularly terrific wedding experience!! And this was a SWEET wedding. By that I mean, yes, they are seriou

I had a wonderful opportunity to photograph The Creasey Family a couple of months ago, when ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition built them a brand new (gorgeous) house. The entire experience was quite something, and I have some lovely images of the family to share - but not until after the show airs. ...AND the show will air this Sunday, January 31st at 8pm EST/7pm CST on ABC. I look forward to sharing some beautiful photographs of The Creasey Family, a couple with adora

Available now on DVD! After nearly one year of storyboarding, filming, editing, animating, audio mixing and more editing, I am thrilled to announce the release of Inside Contemporary Children's Photography, a collaboration between our studio and Ballard Productions (available now on DVD). When we first started thinking about putting something like this together, we had no idea what it would turn into ... and what it became was due, in huge part, to the direction of Rex Ball

(And a big thanks for the interview, friend and fellow photographer, Audrey Woulard. It was a good match, as Audrey and ar
