Last week Allison and Charlie got a beautiful day for images. We found this great little run down shack and made the best of it. They are so in love and excited about their images and wedding. Of course this just gets me excited for them also. Too bad I have to wait until 2008....
Ok this is my first attempt at video in my blog. This was a lot tougher to do then I thought it would be. I’m not super techy, but mildly so, but this was all just ridiculous. I officially need to take a course on video importing and export. Anyway, while I love love love...
Another one. It must be the Spring weather. I photographed Amanda’s graduation portraits last summer and we also had the pleasure of creating her custom announcements and signature book. Thank you ladies for the nice notes. Good luck in college Amanda!CA Cory Ann, Thank you for the great experience taking my pictures! I had a...
And it is so cute. I put it into my dining room. Thank you to Leah and John who made my evening. I know it’s stupid that little notes from clients can lift me up. But you know I invest so much into this business. I’m the type of person who just pours their heart...
Pennie and Jacob made it back and got hitched! Their family and friends were so excited to be with them and part of the wedding. But nothing compares to how they were together. I was able to steal them away for a few moments and witness how together they transformed. Although windy it was a...
A couple of weeks ago the ice started to melt around here, but before it could finish the sun came out for a couple of days. And this is what happened. Totally cool! Ok back to the grind stone.CA
Nature is beautiful and presents the most fabulous colors all around, even in the winter, you just need to look.CA
At just about every wedding there is at least one guest who is an amatuer photographer. Who has a digital SLR camera like a Rebel or a Nikon N40-N80. Many think they are doing the couple a favor and taking images to give them, most of them are harmless, some hinder me doing my job...
I’d like to introduce you to the newest superhero. This here is fire thrower guy/man. He has the ability to throw fire balls from his hands. And apparently walk on fire too. Man I love my little boy. Isn’t he just so cute! And his imagination is amazing. It’s fun to give him washable markers...
My graphic designer, sometimes assistant, past assistant and friend Erin Nelson has finally launched her own website. I’m so happy for her. She used to be at a deadend job with too long of a commute, missing her babies, not appreciated and now this. I was happy when she started her own business and even...
Last week I took a few images at Nash’s party. I was trying out my new wide angle, fixed focal length, prime lens. See I’m just using the big words and terms so you think I know what I’m doing, he he. Anyway it was a good time and here are a few images.CA They...
This weekend’s wedding was wonderful! Now I must admit I was very very nervous. You see Andy was an usher and Ayden was a ring bearer. I kept thinking what if Andy isn’t watching Ayden and he disturbs me and I miss a shot? I would not want that too happen. As even though I...
Today I came downstairs to check my e-mail and start my day. I typically get 100′s of e-mails a day, mostly junk and the rest from clients. Occasionally I get a nice little note. Today’s is from Judy. This last summer I photographer her daughter Lisa’s graduation portraits and we just delivered her announcements. Here...
Evan and Elizabeth had a beautiful wedding. They are both incredibly smart, well traveled and just wonderful people. They were also so in love and made my job so easy. Then they just made me smile be sending me this lovely note. Also it’s because of them that I’m hooked on Spezias and know how...
I often say there are some who are merely photographers, but then there are some like Rod Evans, John Michael Cooper, The Boutwells, Richard Avedon, Nick Brandt and a slew of others past and present who are artists. Some are artists with portraits, some with weddings, some with animals, some with fashions, but they all...
Recently I spent the day with the M family. They are so much fun and this was no exception. I did get to meet the extended family this time. For another rare extended family image. Of course the rain ruined plans of anything super cool. But we still got a good group image to go...
If I ever have a bad day I read this wonderful e-mail I received from Kristin a while back. During my first session with her family I had so much fun. They are so great and loving to each other. And at my last session it was just as great and I got to meet...
