FAST LENS=Blurry Backgrounds, Tack-sharp Eyes, Depth-to-die-for….. What does it mean to have a “Fast Lens”? So many photographers long to shoot images with that super sharp focus on the subject, falling off quickly into softness and glorious glows in the background. I’ve had a few ask me how to get that look. Well, it…
Ok so this weekend I decided to not just write a blog about the weekend activities (a concert in Reno) but create a new style of blog using Adobe Spark! Here is my first attempt at a Spark Page Blog. I have to say it was easy, fast and incredibly dynamic! I think we may…
Well, Bubble Trailer is the apple of my eye, and we have dreams of traveling across- country with her next year. We have been brainstorming on how to decorate her, too, like maybe big circles or even painting bubbles on the fiberglass shell, — but really didn’t want to give the illusion we did…
Another day at the computer. Yep. The learning curve can get you down sometimes! So you know that feeling of, [deep breath]“…sigh… more software and plugins to learn….” ? Doesn’t it feel like the technology age is burying us with new things so often that we lose our excitement? Don’t you get weary of testing…
Storytelling is a key part of photography. The main thing, actually! Many of my sessions have so much variety, how can the clients possibly narrow down to 3-5 images?

Squirrel!! It’s a fun exclamation that says “Look!,” (distracted from what is going on at the moment), “There’s a Squirrel!! And yes, we do get pulled away from the task at hand when we see something shiny or something moving out of the corner of our eye…. and we lose our focus for just a…
Do you love to shoot animals or dream of going on safari some day? You can get in some practice and have a great time in the process at your local zoo! This week was a fun experience for me with MIke’s Camera in Sacramento with their three-part Zoo Experience! It is a three part…
So many people enjoy photography- they snap images continually on their phones and it is a fun hobby! Nothing wrong with that of course, but as a Modern Day Historian, I feel much more passionate about my craft. Like, I think it is a significant tool with more power to encourage and impact people than…
Well its been a super long day because we filmed about 7 fireworks booths today (about an hour each) for TNT Fireworks. But the notable thing about that is the fact that we got the gig BECAUSE we shoot video. It’s simple interviews and we just hand over the files- no need to edit into…
