Happy New Year! Last month, on a gray drizzly day, we had a wonderful little group of photographers gather for the first Photography Foundations workshop. We talked about aperture and exposure and all kinds of technical goodness that captures light and turns it into photographs. Then all of the participants got to test out the…
On this last day of 2010, I am looking over the weddings I have photographed this year, and I am so humbled by every one of these couples who has entrusted me to capture such an important day in their lives. Weddings are an opportunity to step beyond my own mundane life; to watch as…
When I redesigned my logo a little while back, I wanted to be able to brand everything with it– my client discs, notecards, or anything else I might think of. So I considered printing stickers, having custom stationery made, or even ordering a custom stamper or debosser, any of which would have been great, but…
Back in August, Seaglass Cinema was just an idea. We wanted to take a cinematic approach to capturing weddings and create ‘real life movies’. Our idea spun very quickly from possibility into reality, and just a couple weeks later, we gathered an arsenal of DSLRs and lenses and shot our first wedding in Indianapolis. Now,…
I have been able to work with some of the most amazing couples this year. I’ve always loved photographing people in love, because it’s not as much about capturing my interaction with them as it is about getting them to interact genuinely with each other, and being able to capture that interchange. For all of…

Free classes, free printing services, free computer labs, free studio space, and even an entire array of vintage cameras available for 24 hour rentals– for free! Yes, it’s real, and it’s…
This is one incredibly brilliant and beautiful sisterly duo! One a doctor-in-training, the other a lawyer-in-training; one brown eyed redhead, one blue eyed blonde. So Andrea and Sarah may not be identical, but they are still two of a kind, and yes– they’re twins! I was absolutely delighted when Sarah contacted me to do a…
Have you met the Diana F+ and entered the giveaway? Now it’s time to see the camera in action. When you’ve become accustomed to technically perfect dSLRs, it’s both difficult and exciting to shoot film and not know what you’re going to get. So here they are– some frames and a glimpse behind the scenes…
