Studio
Quick update before I head out the door today. The only thing I have in there is the bar table you see on the left haha. But this place is definitely hooked up. It’s very industrial and the natural lighting in here is amazing. It isn’t a large place but it will work to present work, meet with my clients and a place to have a good time =). Have a great weekend everyone.
Cheers,

Our Reason For Living
HE was
PIERCED for our transgressions.
He Was Crushed for our iniquities;
The punishment that brought us PEACE
was upon HIM,
And by HIS WOUNDS
We are HEALED.
– Isaiah 53:5
There is a reason why I live. I don’t ever want to forget that. Without Jesus everything I do, say or live for is vain. Thinking about everything in our lives and this world we live in the more and more each day I realize we are here just as passer-byers moving on to what I call True Life as we await our King to return. In the mean time we have a responsiblity. Jesus said we are “salt and light of this world.” A Life found and devoted to our Savior Jesus Christ. I praise you this day and forever more.
A servant in need of humility,

Senior Portraits
Ashlee
Well folks…I am back! It’s 2008. Spring is around the corner, the
day light lingers in the horizon, days are getting warmer and I don’t
mean global warming either. =) What else is better than a fresh dose
of senior portrait sessions by yours truly 
Might I add this had to
be one of my favorite senior portrait shoots so far and Ashlee and I
had a ton of fun. Ashlee is a smart, talented and definitely hip girl
to say the very least. She happens to be a photographer herself. We
actually ran into some random places to shoot some abstract work at no
trespassing areas haha. I think thats what makes part of photo shoots
so much fun is breaking a few rules and trying new things. I’ll have
to post some of the old barn stuff and farm equipment we ran into along
the way. And no I did not bring couches to the photo shoots haha. You
never know what you might find along the side of the road these days.
Hey, we found two couches…go figure. =) I had so many images I
liked I couldn’t decide which ones to put up! So here is a bunch!
I think one of the
key aspects to great portraits is getting to know the person. I don’t
believe you can photograph someone well without really knowing or
getting to know them. I am all about edge, style, flare, freestyle
photography when it comes to senior portraits. I remember when I had
my senior portraits in high school with a photographer and they were
the lamest photos I probably have. I looked like a idiot haha and
don’t even comment on that….just plea the 5th hahaha. Basically, I
didn’t like any of the photos because I didn’t feel like they
represented ME and WHO I WAS! It is absolutely crucial for my clients
to be involved in the photo experience because its not just about
pictures. Its about life and people. I think some of the best parts
of my photo shoots is just hanging and talking with them and friends
who might come along. It’s one things to be a photographer but
ultimately its just fun to be real with them. I never have the
attitude of a photo shoot being a job because it isn’t. It’s my
passion! So who is down to have some fun? I’m currently still booking
senior portrait and photo shoot sessions.
On another awesome
note, March 15th, 2008 kick off my first wedding of 2008. Had tons of
fun at this one too in the developing city of Lincoln, CA. Stay tuned
for a few photos from that later on.
Studio is coming along
very slooooowly. I finally got a table in there and a few other things
but not much. I still have to post up some pics of the place. It’s
going to be awesome! =) Had my first client meeting in the new place
with nothing in it hahaha this past Sunday with Wendy and Greg! =)
Can’t wait to shoot your guys wedding. Thanks so much for making the
drive to meet up with me.
I hope you all enjoy this set. Thanks for reading.
Cheers,
Steve
