Rock Bridge Venues

I was requested to take new photos of the Rock Bridge Venues for a new Rock Bridge website that will launch in the next few weeks. Here are my favorite shots from the project.

I wanted to do my best to balance the interior and exterior light so the buildings had a bright and welcoming feeling. This meant arriving at each site before sunrise and running around to turn all the lights on then find the best composition for each shot. At any given site I had a window of about 5-10 minutes to get the right light and shot. Thankfully the weather cooperated and I was a to get some sharp shots.

I use the sunrise/sunset app to help my determine the best time to arrive. I have found that half way between civil twilight and sunrise to be about the balancing point to make these shots.

J+S House Photos

Joseph and Sierra built a beautiful house. They asked me to take some shots before they moved in. Saturday morning I arrived before the sun came up. Ran around the house and turned on every light switch I could. I wanted balance the interior and exterior light the best I could. In addition to all the interior lights being on, I wanted to see what kind of reflection I could get of the house on their pond. Here are my favorite shots.

DNOW 15 – “Lasers”

This year for DNOW we strung up 600 5×10″ poster board pieces. We took the idea from here. We needed to scale the idea up to our stage. Big thanks to Anna Joseph for cutting all the boards down to size. Anna, Carter, Kent, Rachel, and Zach- I couldn’t have done this without you guys. We strung 20 cards per string glued at 9″ spacing. The horizontal spacing we used was 16″. We had 3 sets of 10 strings.

Florida Fun – 2014

4 of the 6 mornings we were at the beach I got up before anyone else and headed down to the beach to enjoy the sun coming over the horizon. The beach tortoise was crawling through the sand and I had to see where he (she) was headed.

You can purchase the Beach Tortoise if you’d like.
I’ve also posted some new time-lapses on Video Hive.

I’m working on completing time-lapses more frequently, but thats easier said than done. Hopefully I’ll have more to post here soon.

New Video: Fowler Creations Photography

I had this awesome opportunity to work with Cynthia Fowler on promoting her business through a video. She is so excellent with little bitty ones it’s just incredible. She is able to pose them into the cutest poses and snap a photo all while the baby sleeps. You need to make sure you book time in her studio. We did with Malachi when he was a week old and it was a great experience. Take a peak behind the curtain in the happenings of a newborn shoot. Then visit FowlerCreationsPhotography.com.
