Lily Challenge – Week II

Week 2 has already come and gone! I can’t believe it!  Even more, I can’t believe I still haven’t missed a day.  Don’t worry though – there’s still 17 more days for me to miss… Here’s a look back at week 2 in the challenge. Day 8 – Look!! This photo was taken at Dorothy’s…

Lily Challenge – Week 1

   One week down in the Lily Challenge!  In case you missed my previous blog, the short and sweet version is that I’m taking pictures of Lily every day this month and posting one per day on my Facebook page and then adding them to my blog once a week.  Working on discipline.  Who knows…after…

2009 in Review – Part V

    For our next to last installment of our review of 2009, I thought I’d share my favorite engagement photos with you. For me, engagement sessions can be a whole lot of fun. They’re really a "getting to know your photographer" session more than anything. And because there aren’t 200 or so guests waiting…

A Daughter, her Dad, and Discipline

 My life changed forever on March 19, 2009.  Our daughter, Lily Grace Turner, was born at 6:45 a.m. that morning.  She was the first (and still is) the only grandchild on either side of Dorothy’s  and my families.  Without a doubt, she’s my favorite photography subject.  Yup, I picked a favorite.  Deal. Now to completely…

Five days – no internet.

  Most people these days (myself included) would look at the title of this blog and immediately go into panic mode.  Generally, I would too.  And I think I was pretty close to being there last Tuesday when I realized I would be without the internet the rest of the week.  I was pretty convinced…

2009 in Review – Part IV

If there’s one thing I struggle to define in my business, it’s a portrait session. What is a portrait session? How many people does it include? How long should it take? Where should it be shot? What time of day? So many questions…are there any answers? I don’t think there is an easy way to…

2009 in Review – Part III

Alright, I have to admit, this was one of the hardest blogs of the year for me. Of the tens of thousands of photos I took in 2009, how am I supposed to just pick a few favorites? It was an overwhelming task, but I whittled them down as much as I could and then…

2009 in Review – Part II

I’ve never claimed to be a smart person. But, I was the "smartest" kid in math in the 4th grade throughout my whole city.  I have the placque to prove it. Just one of the many treasures I found while cleaning my basement recently. Although I’m not anything close to a Math whiz at the…

2009 in Review – Part I

Conservatively, we average 2,500 camera clicks a wedding.Multiply that by the 38 weddings we shot this past year, that’s just fewer than 100,000 photos in one year. And that’s just weddings!! I realize this number of photos may be hard for some of you to grasp, but it may give you a better idea of…
