WPPI 2010 was a truly phenomenal experience - with estimates ranging from 12,000 to 16,000 photographers trekking out to Las Vegas (anybody know what the final number was??), it was quite a show, and I was grateful to be any part of it. Speaking to over a thousand looked-so-beautiful-to-me photographers at my platform speech was a serious honor. Was blown away by the great energy in that (wow, large) room :) Before WPPI officially kicked off, though, I partnered with Audrey

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 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

Moira is one of my oldest friends. Our friendship goes back to Kindergarten when she brought in a pair of the coolest pink, splatter-painted crutches for show-and-tell. As the years flew by we stayed close friends, and a photo session with Moira's family was one of my first sessions. When Moira called me to see if I would do a another photo session with her sister, Courtney, her brother, Connor, and her over Thanksgiving, I was thrilled. They wanted to surprise their parents

Little Miss Liddy came to see me with her mom and dad, and the four of us got to work to make some beautiful pictures. We quickly learned that Liddy is a natural in front of the camera, which made everything much more like play than work, and I just could not get enough of her brilliantly blue eyes and perfect cheeks. So here you have the Hart family, arguably one of the sweetest families around....... aha! and now it's clear where she got that beautiful pair of eyes :) Th
