Rudabeh came to me needing fresh updated headshots for work. She’s already using them for all her needs and getting great compliments. The shoot itself was a great time as always and I delivered a disc of the fully edited shots after a few days of her selecting which shots she wanted. Thanks Rudabeh! That […]

Kylie Alexander stood in for a shoot in a library 8″x10.” It was a great space for playing with the light and remarkably plenty of room to catch her in mid-flight reciting some of her ballerina steps. The blue walls made a great reaction to all the different colored gels I put on the lights, […]

I spent an afternoon with Mitch shooting a full range of shots for all the projects he works with in television and PR. It was a fun mix of traditional lighting, ambient lighting, and impromptu location lighting with the speedlite. I was very excited to see the overwhelming reaction he received when he posted his […]

Dave came to me needing new headshots for his social networking for work purposes. A lot of working professionals are finding themselves today needing a professional headshot for their Facebook and Twitter accounts.  

Chase, Elizabeth, and Chelsey were another brilliant team of young models who needed little direction and stayed in character during the shoot. They had fun attitudes while I adjusted lights and powered through my shoot with full energy despite having done another shoot together earlier that afternoon.

Emily Kelley was my model on this shoot at Happy Valley Park. The rain clouds proved they weren’t bluffing and they cut the shoot short, but we were prepared for it and got what we needed.  Makeup by Sarah Fawbush (srfawbush@gmail.com) and hair by Jessica Frieling (jessica.frieling@gmail.com).  

The Valley favorite, Chicago Hamburger Company, is updating their website and needed fresh images.  It was a great shoot and the kitchen crew was well organized.  They brought me dish after dish with the perfect amount of time to shoot each one.  Stellar manager and owner, Bob Pappanduros, was very grateful for the job I did […]

Photographing interiors is a fun challenge, completely different from using people as my subject.  The three biggest concerns with interior shots are (1) handling mixed lighting, (2) getting all your angles at the right perspective so they don’t look distracting, distorted, or mislead your perception of the space, and (3) keeping it looking natural.  This […]

On a Saturday when the weather was still gorgeous outside I was graced with an afternoon photographing both Rachel and Julian.  We put on some music that kept our smiles ongoing, mixed with good humor, and an excellent shooting session.  Here are some of the results, enjoy! In the left photo above I added some […]
