I had the honor of shooting engagement photos for some good friends of mine the other day. Alex & Dan are such a fun couple to shoot and I cannot wait for their wedding! Above are just a few photos from the photo session!
I recently attended a good friends wedding. I was not the official photographer, I was just shooting for fun. I think these photos turned out great! Congrats Jeremy and Zaneta!!
I am trying to pick a business card design. Any suggestions and opinions are welcome, i am quite indecisive. Thanks.

Today i sent some of my photographs away to be put up in a gallery called “Focusing on Faces” in Midlothian, VA at Winfree Memorial Baptist church. “Focusing on Faces” is an exhibition displaying over 200 photos from photographers around the country. The photos highlight all the emotion that is captured on the faces, and all money raised will be donated to Haiti relief. I will have 10 of my favorite photos from my travels to South Africa, Central America, and “Help Portrait” on display. I hope you enjoy! The emotions and faces tell amazing stories.
For more information about the cause check out this article.
**Update**
The show was a success and over $6500 was raised for Haiti!
So I havn’t posted anything in quite some time and i think its well overdue! I want to ost my most recent Engagement session i had with some friends. Patrick & Eleanor. We went to Manassas Battlefield which was perfect! Enjoy!
It’s November 27 and it is Thanksgiving again. It’s all too common for Thanksgiving to come around every year without us even taking a couple seconds to think about what we are thankful about. Isn’t that the whole point of this holiday? Isn’t that what the pilgims did when the established themselves here?
GIVING THANKS
This year I have learned a lot, whether it be through classes at GMU, through talks i’ve heard at church, or just from people in my life. I am incredibly thankful for that. I am thankful that people go out of their way to invest in me. I am thankful I am receiving a good education and able to afford it. My family and I are in good health, this I am thankful for. I live with 3 great guys and i’m thankful. Got my car fixed, thankful. I’m being given amazing opportunities when it comes to my photography and design. I’m meeting new people. I’m so blessed, and I am thankful for that.
I am thankful for all that God is doing in my life and how he is transforming me into someone that reflects him. Everyday He teaches me something new. He is constantly building my character. I am learning a lot about patience and what that looks like biblically.
I think it is important for us to recognize this holiday and not let it pass by like every other holiday that we take for granted. Let us focus on the important issues rather than the materialistic aspects that are always on the forefront.
Brand identity.
I am taking a class on Corporate Branding right now and our current project is on branding ourselves for future clients. Me being a big fan of in-your-face blocky typefaces like Myriad Pro I came up with the beginnings of a logo and suite. I am not sure if i am satisfied with it yet and am still working on it but I am looking for some input here.
From personal experience, what are the most important aspects to take into consideration when it comes to developing an identity for yourself? What rings best with clients and what doesn’t? How often should you re-brand yourself to stay current and ahead of the game?
Here is my first rough attempt at branding myself. PLEASE criticize and give me advice from your experience. What is good and what is bad about my design? Thanks for any Input.
