We always say that if we (and our cameras) could be invisible at weddings, we would. It only makes sense. We want to capture moments as they happen. We want to avoid the whole “Hey look – there’s a camera – that’s my cue to act unnatural and/or run away.” So if Brookstone ever sells…

One aspect I love about my job is the fact that we tend to find ourselves in different places all the time. That gives us a great opportunity to shoot a variety of photos and always forces us to try something new. We like that! As difficult as it was, I narrowed down all the…

It is hard to explain how difficult a task it is to select a handful of images to represent a year’s worth of work. In 2011, I shot 32 engagement sessions. This blog includes 24 images in total. That’s about 2/3s of an image per session. Wow. The challenge I have when selecting photos in…

Although the majority of our business is weddings, we are doing more and more portrait sessions all the time. We especially LOVE senior portraits! We make the sessions fun and encourage the teens to be themselves. But we’ll do just about any type of portrait session we can. Working with people is our specialty. Here…

Simple to say, there wouldn’t be a Black Thumb Studio without George. He’s shot most of the weddings with me, he fixes my computers (they really don’t like me) and in general, he can put up with me. Enough said. What I love about working with George is his quiet confidence and how he sees…

As some of you know, there are three photographers here at Black Thumb Studio – Jeff, George and Alana. George and I consider Alana the third wheel on our sweet tricycle – she’s the one that keeps us upright. We’d fall over a lot if she wasn’t around. Alana is a fantastic photographer and even…

Long time…no blog. It’s been a busy year to say the least. I genuinely wish I had 48 hours in each day to tell you about each and every amazing experience we’ve had this year. 24 hours a day simply isn’t enough. Keep your eyes peeled in the off-season as I try to recap some…

My worldview doesn’t include a belief in former lives. If it did though, I would guess that Stephanie and Chris were good friends of mine in a prior life. Since the time I first met them, there was an easy familiarity with them. Like we sat together in homeroom and hadn’t seen each other in…
