I took this photo of William in a homemade Spiderman mask. Man I love that boy.

I met Gina and Gray in a meditation class, and we have stayed friends since then. Gina is a great photographer herself so I felt honored that she asked me to take her family’s portrait. You can see from the imagery how energetic and fun they are together. Note: no child was harmed in anyway during this photoshoot.

Courtney’s 8th grade school project this week was to intern at a local business. She was nice enough to choose mine, and even though this crazy weather caused some disruptions, she did an amazing job researching and helping me set up a photoshoot. Thanks Courtney.

Just wanted to mention that some photographer friends of mine are hosting the local Help-Portrait here in Charlottesville. If you or someone you know is in a bad spot and would like a portrait, this would be a great place to get a free one. Here is some more information.

Charlottesville Help-Portrait
Portico Church
201 Monticello Ave
12:00 Noon to 8:00 PM

Also, they need some help with hair and makeup, catering, a few volunteers, and spreading the word so anyone who wants their portrait knows about it and can get it done. Contact Christian DeBaun for more information.

I went to Kings Dominion a few weekends ago with William and Jocelyn. I decided to make an 8mm style home movie of the experience, and finally got it how I like it. Check it out and tell me what you think.

This is primarily my photography website, so I don’t talk too much about my other life as a musician. That being said, I am pretty proud of our first music video. My good friend Gabe Deloach made it, and I think he did a great job. Also featured are Bree Luck, Darryl Smith, and my son, William.

So if you have time, check out “When Animals Attack,” and let me know what you think.

Oh my goodness. What can I say about Casey and Morgan’s wedding? Beautiful light, beautiful people, and friends I have known for 20 years. Here is a small preview, with more to come later.

The final project for the Light House Studio’s Video as Art class I have been teaching is on display at Second Street Gallery in February. There is an art opening for First Friday this February 6, 5:30 – 7:30 pm, with an artist talk at 6:30 pm. Please come out if you are in the neighborhood. These kids worked very hard, and I am proud of their accomplishment. Here is a little clip from the video to wet your beak.

One person who I do not mention nearly enough here is my assistant Jeremy Mullis. He is one of the smartest, kindest people I know, and has been invaluable in helping be figure out an endless number of things that define my look, and my business.

In addition to being an amazing designer, business person, photographer, and friend, he is also a stand-in model for most of my photo shoots, allowing me to try various lighting setups before the clients arrive. Since he does not need to pose (I am really only looking at how the light falls on him), photos I take of him have an irreverent quality that I always find interesting. Also, you will notice there are some wedding photos in the mix. I had to honor of photographing Jeremy and his wife Sarah’s wedding last year. Jeremy, thank you so much for helping me these past 2 years. I sincerely appreciate it.

Just to talk about something different then CLAW, here is a picture taken by Jocelyn, of my son William and I.

I hope everyone had a good Halloween.  Mine was spook-tacular!
