ellie sullivan
the daughter of our friends jake and michelle. born with a full head of hair and the sweetest personality that any baby could have. it was good to just have fun with our friends and relax while we were shooting. it helped these turn out to be really natural.

too good and sad to not share.
the Acklin wedding-Edmond, OK
jordo and lauren. i love em. one of the funnest, craziest couples i’ve ever met. its good when people are up for anything, because i usually have all sorts of ideas and plans going thru my head for the next shot. and the acklin’s are just that kind of couple, fun loving and creative. i layed on the shutter button like there was no tomorrow…and thats how any wedding photographer always needs to be. there is nothing like coming away from a wedding, looking at what you’ve shot, and feeling like you really captured the moment. like you froze the day at its best.
lighting for the formal shots was all with two bare AB400s at full pwr. bounced off the rear upper ceiling of the church sanctuary. they were both about 10 foot high, slightly angled up. it created an even coverage of soft light, also made it easy for me to move around and get that beautiful light anywhere i was in the sanctuary.
maylee (and a few of conner)
ive known the mcmanamans for some time now and they are like family to my wife and i. so i was stoked to get to take maylee’s photos several weekends ago. maylee is full of personality and never stands still, so it was all sorts of fun getting to photograph her. my philosophy for photographing kids that i’ve had for some time is to let them do their thing. there is nothing more ridiculous to me than trying to pose a child. let them jump, scream, tell stories…whatever. just my advice, you will get the most natural and fun photos that way. conner, her older brother, had to jump in for a few so i could photograph his muscle man pose. classic!
lighting:
3 AB400’s set in a triangle. one full pwr directly over my head thru a beauty dish. then the other two…one to my right shoulder thru a medium sized softbox, the other to my left shot into an umbrella, both set to about half pwr.
