Cisco & Abra’s Engagement Session
Another fun photo shoot with good friends Cisco & Abra. They picked a great location in Hardin Valley. As always, Lacey was a great assistant.
New Years w/ The Gathering
Bringing in the new year with The Gathering group. Fun times! Shot most of these with a remote flash bounced off of the ceiling.
Franqui Family Shoot
Another sweet photo shoot with another sweet family. My partner in crime, Lacey Thompson, is really quite excellent at posing people and working with them to get a very natural feel. This really frees me up to focus on getting the best captures I can, technically. I used a remote flash(Nikon SB-600 with cheapo flash trigger) for the indoor shots, bouncing it off of the ceiling or walls. I also used it as a fill for several of the outdoor shots, to fight the direct sunlight.
Definitely a cool blessing to work with my girl, and to work with such a fun client!
Dance for Love: 2011
Last year’s Dance for Love was a hit. This year’s is promising to be an even bigger event, taking place at The Square Room in Knoxville. The event is scheduled for December 17. You can should grab tickets here.
Family Portrait Shoot
This past weekend I had the opportunity to shoot some family portraits for some sweet relatives. It was my first time using a remote flash (SB-600) to try and fight get along with the sun. I have a lot to learn as far as strobes go, but I’m fairly happy with my first efforts.
Sam’s 1st Birthday
Today we celebrated my nephew Sam’s 1st Birthday. It was a lot of fun! Hard to believe the little fellow’s already been with us for a year. My how time flies!
Super Full Moon
I captured this a little after midnight, which wasn’t as close to perigee as it was at sunset, but still figured I should try to get a shot of the moon tonight. It’s 356,577 km away. I used my 70-300mm lens (and have my tripod out on loan), so not the best set up, but it is what it is. Here is a larger version for your desktop, if you want it.

Tony Hawk Hits Up Knoxville
I’ve been following Tony Hawk on twitter for a while, but I was surprised to see his tweet earlier this afternoon that he was hitting up Knoxville as part of his birdhouse promotional tour. Immediately after work, I decided to fetch my camera and girlfriend and head down to the Knoxville Skate Park. Sure enough, Mr. Hawk was there skatin’ it up. How cool that he would visit my hometown like that. Evidently, he enjoyed it too!
