First Official Test Shoot with Ford Models

I've been spending the past couple of days getting ready for my first official test shoot with Ford Models this Sunday, January 23rd at my studio.  The model to be shot is Maria Montgomery, Ford Model in Chicago, Miss Kentucky 2009, and fourth runner up for Miss USA.  My team will consist of Jenna Baltes of On Edge Beauty doing hair and makeup, and Eve Rydberg handling the wardrobe styling.  We will be doing some clean, natural beauty shots in the studio.  Assisting me will be my regular photography assistant and long-time friend, Daniel Tisue.  I look forward to the shoot, and hope that it begins a great relationship with Ford!

Newly updated website for 2011!!

The Inception


It is the beginning of 2011 and I feel that it is finally time for me to start a photography blog. I have always wanted to, but never really found the time to. I still probably do not have the time to, but I will make sure that I start making the time to.

I am at a point in my photography career where everything is starting to take off while I still attempt to juggle another full-time job as director of promotions for Sound-Bar located in Chicago. While at times the two jobs conflict with each other, it does allow for me to live in the lifestyle I enjoy to live in comfortably while building my photography business.

This blog will be my way of documenting new work from here on out, reflecting back on past work, and to share different techniques and tutorials as well. I hope everybody enjoys it! Considering, I thought the best first picture to post to my blog was one of the first that I ever created while I was in school.
