We’re back! After eight years without a blog post, I decided it’s time to start this thing up again. And what better way than with a new camera, a new (to me) monster of a lens, and lots of cool planes? For the last several years I’ve been shooting with my tried and trusted Canon...
I was recently hired to do a couples photoshoot for Arizel & Carlos. The twist? Carlos is a black belt in Jiu Jitsu, Arizel is a very passionate novice in the same discipline, and they both were convinced they should do the photoshoot at their gym, wearing their gis. I was surprised to find out...
For months now, my wife has been looking forward to this moment. Sure, it’s a huge milestone that our little person has turned a year old. But I know what she was really looking forward to: a smash cake for Ansel! What’s a smash cake, you say? Well, evidently, it’s a small cake that one...
Last week we did a fall themed photoshoot with Ansel, and I thought I would write a little thing about it… We purchased all the props used, as we didn’t want to limit ourselves to an existing pumpkin patch but rather wanted to find a nice location for the photos, and then set up there....
If you haven’t read my earlier blog post about UltraCon 2016, do so first, as it will add context to this one. Check it out here. While I’ve done some sports photography in the past, it’s always been outdoors and in daylight, which is an entirely different experience than photographing fighters in very dim light...
Last weekend was long, exhausting and challenging…but I would do it all over again. What a way to start a blog post about a convention, huh? But it’s true! Let’s talk about my experience attending both days of UltraCon 2016 and go over some of the photos I walked away with while we’re at it....
So, what do photographer parents do when they welcome a baby boy into their lives? Flood Facebook with photos of the world’s cutest baby, of course. And we’ve done our part, believe me. But besides the spontaneous and constant documenting of every day of our son’s life, we decided early on to do planned, themed...
This past Sunday we headed out to Wynwood in the morning for a new kind of photoshoot for me. Carlitos is a very enthusiastic young man with a beautiful, custom Chevy C1500 truck. He wanted to “take some photos” of the truck for a large poster. That’s all I HAD to deliver: a large photo...
I had an opportunity to attend Day 2 of the FARA Race of Champions 2016 event at the Homestead-Miami Speedway this weekend, and it was such an interesting experience I thought I would write a little something about it. This was my first visit to the Homestead-Miami Speedway (but it definitely will not be my...
I had to travel for work again, this time to cover an examination under oath in Jacksonville. I was flying in early that morning, and flying out at night the same day. All in all, I would have maybe two and a half hours before and two hours after work that I could use to...
