Feels Good, Thank You

I still cant get over how good it feels to get paid for doing something your passionate about. Having someone like your work enough to pay for it is extremely flattering as well.  Just a special thanks to everyone that has asked me to help them capture their most precious memories, I truly have enjoyed every moment of the whole process and I hope you have too!

Joffrey Ballet

I have been asked to be one of two photographers at the Joffrey Ballet Family Dinner, held between the two shows on December 12th.  The other photographer is the talented Jason Smith.  The style of shoot is pretty similar to the jobs I did last summer for Roots Studios, but this time I get to have more creative freedom and do things MY way! I don't think I've been this excited for a shoot ever!

Don't go far, Dec 12th is fast approaching and I most certainly will have updates.

phew!

Time to start blogging again, things have been getting busier!

Monica and I photographed Cheryl and Tony's Wedding awhile back. It was a gorgeous wedding, wonderful family and a great time for all involved.  This was the first wedding we were hired to shoot so there was a of learning and I thank Cheryl trusting us with her memories! All kinks aside, the photos turned out nicely.

Frank and Amy were the next to ask me to photograph their marriage.  This was a very quaint wedding, family only. It only called for one photographer, so I went it alone.  Beautiful sunny day, could not of been nicer. Congratulations Frank and Amy! and thank you for letting me be a part of it all!

Sneak Peak

The images are coming along nicely for the first batch of T-shirts. Printing has not yet begun but will be soon. In the mean time here is a sneak peak of one of the images that will be screened! This image will be screened off center at the bottom of the shirt... also I've been thinking of maybe screening some bags while I'm at it...

Prints n T-shirts!

Here it goes everyone! I'm very excited about this! I've selected a handful of my favorite pictures and am going to Screen Print them under The Basement Press Name onto posters and T-shirts. In the beginning the selection of colors will be small but the sizes will range hopefully from XS through XL. They will be for sale on my Etsy site.

Keep checking in there is a lot on my mind for the future!

Maureen & Eric

Okay I know this should of been posted a while ago now, but I've been swamped with work, school and getting this blog running smoothly.

My cousin Maureen and her fiance Eric were married this August and I of course brought along my camera to document the affair. It was an absolutely wonderful wedding, the setting, the people the food; all of it equally wonderful. So with that said I had it kind of easy that day, all I had to do was nail down my exposures and fire away. I am quite pleased with the results and I've just recently delivered my images to the Bride and Groom and they could not be happier either. That put a huge smile on my face!

You can see more pictures from the wedding through my Portfolio link to the right.

Keep posted for a few new projects I'm starting!!
