Ben Sasso= My Hero

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I wanted to give a big thanks to my dear friend Ben Sasso. I met him this past January when he and I were on the SoCal team for a non-profit called Invisible Children (www.invisiblechildren.com). We spent three wonderful months as roadies telling people about kids in Uganda, meeting amazing people, going on photo adventures (obviously), sneaking into insane asylums, and cussing each other out (okay, just once). Aaaaaaaand I love him, basically.




Ben finally helped me figure out how to make my photos larger on my blog! Woohoo! As you can see, the old posts still have smaller photos, but from now on, I'll be posting larger photos for your viewing pleasure.

But (lucky me) Ben didn't stop there. He's been my #1 go-to guy for all photography-related advice and is currently designing my watermark. I pretty much text him every other day with a question about a lens or website rates or whatever.

So thank you Ben for your patience, advice, talent, and sick sense of humor. You're the best.

Oh yeah, before I forget... Ben's a freaking awesome photographer as well. Check him out: www.bensasso.com.

Happy Thanksgiving!

clint & andea- wedding

a good friend of mine got married this last weekend so i went as a guest, but (of course) i couldn't help but take some pictures. :)

alison & andy: maternity shoot

this past weekend i did my first maternity shoot at mckinney falls state park (thanks to jim for introducing me to this beautiful spot.)

the couple was beautiful and the shoot was short, but sweet. congratulations to alison, andy and (in a few more weeks) brady... you're a beautiful family. :)

good news!

so i went a did a reshoot today with kelsey and kyle to make up for the lost pictures from wednesday. i used a different card just in case. i got some great shots and we actually redid the soco shoot with better lighting.

BUT, when i got home and started to upload them, the same thing happened where the files were unreadable. i tried different card readers, different cords, putting the card in different cameras, etc. etc. NOTHING. i checked to see if my hard drive was full and it said it had room but i decided to remove some files anyway. after i did that, i tried to upload again.

SUCCESSSSSSSSSSS.

high five for paige for conquering technology.. this time.

anyway, here are five of the shots from the reshoot. was it worth it?

**please keep in mind, some of the quality is lost in translation with the blog. i'll be putting them up on flickr soon. :)

kelsey & kyle- engagement

Yesterday I went and took photos of one of my best friends Kelsey and her fiance Kyle. It was such a blast and we did some really cool stuff (like putting a couch in the middle of South Congress). Pretty awesome.

What's NOT awesome is that half of the photos got deleted. Don't ask me how, it just happened. So the short story is.. I'm in a bad mood. I'm making them retake some with me on Friday because I was OBSESSED with some of the photos that were lost. But here's a few of the photos that survived.

matti & ali: sister shoot

i forgot to post the pictures i took of matti and her sister from the other week. we took them up on the 360 look out which is always nice.
